Soccer warm up drills - you can do these in you backyard!

DRILL # 3

This is a dribbling warm up exercise. 

With younger kids just starting out dribbling we refer to it as a "step touch". Work on each foot separately and then together.  

The main focus here at the younger ages is to get them looking up and listening for commands.  Changing up the commands for the younger ages by blowing you whistle and looking up at you and doing what you are doing - for example you have stopped and place one foot on the ball, or perhaps have put your hands on your head.
