FineSoccer Drill 29

The second drill for individual training is real simple to set up and actually quite difficult to do successfully.

Many players like to juggle the ball but very rarely do I see this done with a purpose.  Simply challenge the players to juggle the ball 1000 times in a 10 minute period.  If they are on 26 and they lose possession of the ball, they start back up at 27 (in other words, it's not consecutive juggles but rather total juggles in a 10 minute period.

I have never been a big fan of juggling but this is actually a wonderful way to get a lot of touches on the ball and also get some conditioning in at the same time.  If you don't think this involves any conditioning, take 10 minutes and give it a try.  I think you will change your mind real quickly.

Explain to your team that if they lose possession of the ball, they must sprint to get it back in order to be successful.  

If because of age or skill limitations, the players aren't able to come close to 1000 touches in a 10 minute page, then lower the number (not the time) and challenge them to work their way up to the full number

Give it a try and let me know what you think

Have a good day
