Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Start Small

    Begin with cone dribbling drills before adding defenders or match pressure.

  • Rest and Review

    Review match footage or drill performance to identify weak foot and turning habits.

  • Gradual Progression

    Master close control at walking pace before adding speed and direction changes.

Safety Notes

  • Wear shin guards during all contact play.
  • Warm up thoroughly — ACL injuries are the most common preventable soccer injury.
