Soccer
Agility Drills
Use
these sample soccer agility drills to improve your
balance, body control, foot speed and co-ordination.
Like speed drills, agility drills should not
be physically exhausting.
A
slow jog or walk between each drill should allow
complete recovery.
The emphasis must be on quality
and form.
Because these soccer agility drills are not
physically demanding, you can perform them any time
during the week and on any day. One quick tip
however, many coaches like to get all the intense physical
training out of the way before move on to (more
enjoyable?) skill practice. The problem is skills
need to be performed with near perfect form.
Practice does NOT make perfect it makes permanent.
So rehearse getting it right!
With that in mind
perform soccer agility drills and skill work after
the warm up before moving into more enervating,
fitness drills. A typical agility session could
consist of 3-5 sets of 10 repetitions in total (a
repetition being one drill).
Use
the soccer agility drills as they are or adapt
them to fit your individual or team's needs.
