U15 and older soccer drills
High school and adult

Switch the play, then add the full-back to make it 4v3.

A free 90-minute U14 soccer practice plan, minute by minute.

Counter-pressing: five seconds, nearest player goes, then get small.

Timed runs and overloads: go on the touch and finish early.

A 4v1 rondo where the receiver has to call a number shown by a helper before the first touch.

Four attackers on the sides of a 10x10, two defenders inside working as a pair.

The first rondo with a player in the middle. Four attackers on the sides, one inside as the link, two defenders.

Two squares side by side. Five passes earns the long pass into the other one.

Three lines of cones split a 15x12 into thirds. Four attackers on the ends, one in the middle third with three defenders.

Three zones and two neutrals. You can only score by going through the middle.

Keep it, break the line, then follow your pass to make it 3v2.

Score by receiving between two lines of defenders and turning.

Three attackers with one ball travel down a 10x30 channel against a defender who may only walk, keeping a triangle around the defender the whole way.

Nobody may receive in a corner, or in a straight line with a defender.

Always one ahead and one behind. Back then forward counts double.

Waves of 3v2 to goal, and a one-two doubles the score.

Two attackers on each side line of a 20x14, two in the middle, three defenders.

Two goals to attack, and a goal after a switch counts double.

Score by finding one wide target, then the other.

Seven against six, and a switch after halfway doubles the goal.

Two servers twelve yards apart, a receiver in the middle with a shadow defender behind.

A rondo that rotates: leave a space so a teammate can arrive in it.

One way, then the other. You can’t receive until you’ve made a double move.

The inside player can only receive if they arrive late.

Nobody can receive in the pocket unless a teammate just left it.

A passer and a runner on a 20x15 with a mini goal.

Pass into the target, run on the pass, finish the lay-off.

After four passes, one attacker breaks out toward goal.

Run behind the line on the pass, never before. Offside is called strictly.

Every forward pass past a defender scores. Going back is free.

Keeper, two backs and a center mid in a diamond against two pressers, with three gates across the far line.

Half a field. Keeper, two backs and two wide mids build against three pressers, and a striker waits in an end zone past halfway.

Build against four pressers. Two points if the ball went from back to back first.

Tight, bounce it back. Loose, turn and carry. The score counts decisions.

A full 9v9 where every restart is played short from the keeper and the opponents drop to halfway until the first pass is received.

Three attackers against two defenders on a 20x15 with two mini goals on the far line and twelve seconds to score.

4v2 on one side, 2v2 on the other. Move a player across and make it 3v2.

Two wide players and a striker against three defenders and a keeper on a 30x25.

3v1 in the middle, then one player goes forward to make it 2v1.

A 4v2 rondo with one extra rule: when the defenders win it, they try to keep it in the square and the four have five seconds, counted out loud, to win it back.

Several 12x12 boxes with a 2v2 in each. Five passes is a point, and if you lose the ball you have five seconds to win it back for two.

When you lose it, the nearest two press the very next pass.

Three teams of four. Win it back in five seconds and your next goal doubles.

Lose it near their goal, win it back in five seconds, and score for three.

3v3 on a 20x15 with a mini goal at each end.

Win the ball in the rondo and break out 4v4 to goal.

Six seconds after you win it, a goal counts double.

Press, win it, and counter on goal inside eight seconds.

Win it high and go. Win it low and keep it. Where you win it decides the speed.

A full 9v9 with nothing marked and one rule: every time possession changes, the bench calls it.
