Youth players
Working with kidsThe first thing is I introduce them to soccer, and after that I teach them the basics of touching the ball. Once they master this skill, I’ll focus my attention to passing the ball and receiving passes. Once they understand these two skills I will introduce them to cones drill which will help them to be able to dribble around with the ball, run and out maneuver the opposing player. At this point they will be able to advance to play games and even compete with other teams. I always insist that all players must practice ball juggling as much as they can, to the point that they will be comfortable with the ball in any situation. Every player must know this skill, and in some cases even freestyle.
