The Objective of a Soccer Practice Plan

Each week you have a finite amount of time to practice with your team. It is important to maximize the quality of the time you do have in order to cover as many topics as possible and give your team ample time to work on each skill. Therefore, having a plan for soccer practice is vital to you success.

There are many skills that every soccer player must work on and perfect such as trapping, dribbling, and shooting and making sure to cover each topic is important. You want to be able to track what you have done, where you have been, and know where you want to go, and unless you write out a plan for your practices, you will really have no clue.

Drills should progress over the span of a season. You don’t want to be working on the same thing over and over, but at the same time each drill should have an element of familiarity and fit into the larger context of a soccer game. Your players should know what is important to take from each drill, but you don’t want to over coach them either. Let the drill be the teacher.
