We developed our soccer training drills to prepare players for real soccer matches and to achieve the most in the least amount of time. Try our copyrighted soccer training drills and you will see the difference.

The Soccer Training Drills you use in practice will determine how fast your players are able to play in a real match while under pressure. Your players will play like they practice - if your players train without pressure, at their own pace, you are preparing them to play that way. Obviously, real soccer matches aren't like that. Real soccer matches involve pressure and the team that can play the fastest while under pressure will probably win. Below are Soccer Training Drills that will train your players to play fast while under pressure. The soccer training drills below keep score and involve competition, and that creates pressure and causes players to play fast because they are competing and want to win.

1. The Dribble Around Cone & Pass Relay Race™ soccer training drill teaches many things, including One Touch Play, the importance of First Touch and to pass as soon as possible rather than holding the ball too long. It will teach players that they can play faster if they one touch the ball in front of them and then run onto it. The players who do that will win and those that don't will lose. Unless players want to lose when they play this game in practice, they will have to learn to one-touch. That will teach them the concept of one-touching the ball as a way to play faster or to one-touch the ball into open space to avoid pressure. Once they understand this it is easy to teach the idea of one touch passing as a way to play faster.
2. The Dribble Around Cone & Pass Relay Race™ soccer training drills also teaches Aggressive Receiving. It will train your players to be ready for a pass and to MOVE TO THE PASS rather than waiting for the ball to come to them. It will teach your players to not expect the pass to come to their feet. Instead, it teaches them to expect a BAD PASS and be ready for it. The result will be that your team will play faster because your players are moving to the ball and you will have many less turnovers due to Bad Passes because your players will learn to stop many of the Bad Passes. This game teaches receivers that they have a responsibility to stop the ball if they can possibly get to it.
3. The Dribble Across A Square™ soccer training drill teaches Control Dribbling, instinctive reactions and recognition of Open Space and acceleration into Open Space, which teaches the concept of Breakaways. It will teach your players to react instinctively when they dribble and to make the correct decisions without thinking. They will develop great confidence on the ball. You will see results the first time you use this training drill.
4. Soccer training drills such as Dribble Around Cone & Pass Relay Race™ teach your players to Pass to Space instead of Passing to Feet. Passing to Space will greatly improve the speed, flow and creativity of your attack and teach your players how to use Open Space. Instead of waiting for a pass to come to their feet, they will understand where the Open Space is and be ready for a pass to that open space.
