Soccer for Beginners

  • Passing and getting familiar with the ball are great skills to start out teaching for beginners.
  • If a student is a beginner they probably have never touched a soccer ball before and are very uncomfortable with the ball.
  • It is important to help students become more comfortable with the soccer ball by starting with the following skills:
  • simple individual touches on the ball
  • passing with a partner from 10 feet away
  • certain factors are important to consider when teaching these skills such as age, environment, physical ability, etc.
  • It is important to start out slow; get students used to playing and then focus on the accuracy of their performance.
  • Asymmetric body movements
  • Focus on "teaching: your body to be coordinated with this specific sport and skills.

Soccer for Advanced Students

  • Advanced students should be very comfortable with the game and the skills that are required. Their balance and coordination is obvious, but there is always room for improvement.
  • Speed and agility in drills; making yourself more quick on the ball as well as working on your reaction to different movements.
  • Juggling, getting multiple touches on the ball
  • When passing with a partner focus on one-touch instead of two, and passing the ball with accuracy and good pace.
  • Movement consistency- practice basic skills over and over
  • Estimate movement distance- using your touch with the ball to decide how far you need to pass/shoot the ball.
  • Peripheral vision- important in game play especially for advanced players.

Soccer for Intermediate Students

  • If students are at the intermediate level of play then that means they have probably played on a team or with another group.
  • Intermediate players should focus on the following:
  • passing while moving.
  • keeping their head up while dribbling the ball
  • focus on offensive/defensive type strategies such as "jockeying" while defending a player, and keeping a "triangle" formation to pass and move around the field.
  • striking the ball on frame with the laces.
  • Students are coordinated and familiar with the game.
  • Focus on closed skills because other factors contribute to play
