Soccer drills for kids from U5 to U10

Soccer coaching with fantasy

Masked ball

Exciting, varied and imaginative training exercise

Soccer training and a masked ball. What are the similarities? The kids wear masks; we deliver PDFs of these, which can be printed out. They're colorful masks which the children can bring to their next training session. We bet you that training participation will be high, and that the curiosity factor will entice the kids.

Europe trip

Europe soccer training

This training exercise was designed as a team activity. In reality, kids are selfish. They don't care who's on the team, they just want to win. This enables the supposedly “weaker” children to be integrated into the game as well. For us, it's about dribbling, getting a feel for ball skills, and communication. For the kids, winning is the only important aspect.

Parking Space

Coordination training wirth children

Are you very courageous? Then ask the U5 to U8 junior kickers, as well as the older mini-kickers, not to complete this training exercise in silence. In the U8 to U5 fantasy exercise there are loads of cars, and cars make sounds. Engine sounds and honking horns are part of the exercise; it should get loud, and you need to be able to take it.

Jungle monkeys

Play soccer like a momkey

For kids, monkeys are very entertaining animals that climb, run and jump. These are exactly the kinds of movements that children love. This will make them complete the goal-shot course with loads of enthusiasm and enjoyment. At best, they will chatter and bark like monkeys, and you should, in fact, encourage it. The parkour course in the graphic visual is simply an example course.

Treasure Map

Communication and dribbling

Our "join-in" games always require a little preparation. In the long run, you won't be able to inspire U10 to U5 juniors with traditional soccer training. This training exercise is about finding a treasure. It only succeeds with the help of the treasure map, so they don't have to find it themselves. For the kids it’s a game, yet the coach has other goals in mind.

Robots

Coordination - Training with kids

Our little soccerers all look really cool in the graphic visuals. It's no wonder, because they're not children, they're robots. The U9 kids know how robots move. You’ll find some more ideas in the variation exercises. To make sure they get it, you should demonstrate exercises to the kids; and remember, as an experienced trainer, this shouldn’t be problem.
