Drills for high school soccer?

We Answered:

well for starters make them do dribbling drills back and forth on the field...all the way to one side and then back...also set up cones and make them dribble in and out of them, the farther along the closer the cones are. have them work on heading the ball and stopping it w/their chests. for keeper make them do sit ups,it hepls build muscles so when the ball hits ya in the stomache it doesnt hurt bad..lol...and have him/her sit up on their knees and roll the ball to them from like 15 ft away...make them dive and stuff from their knees....hope this helps

I need some good effective soccer drills for one person and a ball?

We Answered:

Do ladder drills, they will help with agility and quick explosive moves. Get a rope ladder, or some chalk on a sidewalk, and practice different steps through the ladder. Start by running through the ladder stepping between each rung as fast as you can. Then shuffle back and forth making sure both feet land inside each rung and move up the ladder rung by rung. Follow with grapevines through the ladder.


As far as ball control goes. Get a couple of chairs, cones, or whatever else you can find and line them up in a straight line about 4-7 ft apart. Practice moves with the ball going as fast as you can through the chairs/cones making sure you are still under control.

For shooting find a solid wall and put tape on various spots and practice hitting the tape from different distances and angles. Mix in a move before the shot like you did with the chairs/cones. Practice situations you would be in during the game.

For speed and endurance run for at least 45 mins a day, but instead of maintaining the same speed mix it up. Run at a full sprint for 30 secs followed by a light jog for 90 secs. If you don't have a stop watch, sprint for a block then jog for two blocks.

Do not neglect weight training. You want to focus on lifting as much as you can (with proper form) for 6-12 reps. Any more or less is a waste of time for what you want.

Your coach should be able to provide you with a workout and drills if all else fails. Get with a nutritionist and personal trainer because they can customize a plan for you that fits the needs you want.

How should I get in shape for high school soccer?

We Answered:

After reading all that information about the different exercises for soccer players, you’re probably wondering how you can combine them into a routine for yourself. Well, if you are, then read on and take a look at some of the examples listed below. But remember, don’t be afraid to make modifications to your regimen. Each player is different! And if you have questions, consult a coach or trainer. Good luck!

You can modify this schedule to what fits you best, as long as you incorporate all of these elements frequently. But it’s a good idea to avoid strength training your legs every day so that they have a chance to recover and rebuild the muscle fibers. On the days you’re not doing plyometrics, you can still weight train, but focus on the upper body. As for what and how much to work, try this workout, three sets each.

Day 1--> Stretching--> Sprints --> Plyometrics --> Weights (lower) --> Ball work --> Stretching

Day 2 --> Stretching --> Balance --> Shuttle run --> Sit-ups --> Pushups --> Weights (upper) --> Stretching

Day 3 --> Stretching --> Distance run --> Sprints --> Ball work --> Stretching

Day 4 --> Stretching --> Shuttle run --> Sit-ups --> Pushups --> Plyometrics --> Weights (lower) --> Stretching

Day 5 --> Stretching --> Balance --> Weights (upper) --> Distance run --> Sprint --> Ball work --> Stretching

Day 6--> Stretching --> Shuttle run --> Sit-ups --> Pushups --> Weights (optional) --> Stretching

Day 7--> Off

Upper body: Benchpress --> pec-fly/butterfly --> incline press --> lat pulldown --> compound row --> tricep extensions (cables or dumbbells) --> dips --> bicep curls --> concentration curls

Lower body: squats or leg press --> leg extension --> leg curls --> lunges --> abs --> calf raises

Also, you shouldn’t do plyometrics on a day you do long distance running. You don’t want to overexert your legs and possibly injure yourself. If the routine above gets boring, switch it up a bit to what best fits your body.

Balance exercises can easily be added to your training. Since most of these tend not to require a lot of physical strength and endurance, do them on a less strenuous day, or at a time of day when you feel your legs can handle them (preferably the morning).

TIP: You can never do enough ball work! Make sure to get plenty of this in your daily routines, whether it’s through regularly scheduled practice or by working it further into your training regimen.
