World class soccer drills, workouts, and advice.
Philipp Lahm is one of my all time favorite soccer players. What is not to love; he makes great passes, he rarely turns the ball over, and he is an excellent tackler. Whenever one of my midfielders asks me how I want them to play on the field, I show them clips of Phillip Lahm.
The three grid possession drill is a great game to get players sharp on the ball, linking up with teammates, and delivering quality passes.
Two teams against one is a simple keep away drill that is very effective to help players work on keeping possession of the ball.
This is an excellent variation of a rondo keep away drill where if the defenders win the ball, they can keep possession with players on the outside of the grid.
In defense drops two, the offensive team has a numerical advantage because the defense must drop two players off of the field.
Mini goal game with neutrals is a great game for players to work on keeping possession of the ball because they have lots of passing options with neutral players around the outside.
The ten ball shooting test can be used for players to practice shooting on their own or as a test to see how many goals they can score out of ten shots.
Finishing in a square is a great drill for strikers to practice finishing in front of goal. Players position themselves around the 18 yard box and deliver passes to a player inside the 18 yard box who tries to score.
The Dortmund 2v1 shooting drill is an excellent game for players to practice dribbling towards goal quickly and finishing.
Rapid one touch finishing is a great drill for players to get lots of repetitions shooting inside of the 18 yard box.
