1,000 touches a day
Version #1

The following activity, developed by Dennis Mueller and taken from the soccer coaches' mailing list, will improve your skills and help you get ready for your next season. The foot work activity is designed to give you about 1,000 touches in seven minutes. And I know that everyone can find seven minutes a day to work on their soccer skills. The full workout takes about 25 minutes.

SEVEN MINUTE DRILL

• 2 Rolls (4 each foot)
  1. Inside Roll
  2. Outside roll
• 3 Foundation (4 each foot, alternating feet 3 touches between moves)
  1. Side to Side Push-Pull
  2. Side to Side Step-On
  3. Side to Side Front Roll
• 4 Pull back and go. Do sequence with one foot then switch (4 times each foot)
  1. Pull, Instep Push
  2. Pull a Vee
  3. Pull & Take with Outside of foot
  4. Pull & Roll Behind
• 5 Turns: Travel 10 feet turn 180 degrees use 3 touches between turns (4 times each foot)
  1. Pull Turn
  2. Inside of foot turn
  3. Outside of foot turn
  4. Cruyff
  5. Stepover Turn
• 6 Change of direction with fakes, 3 touches betweens turns (4 times each foot)
  1. Hip Swivel
  2. Mathews
  3. Cap
  4. Stepover
  5. Scissors
  6. Rivolino

You can substitute any of the "Moves to Beat an Opponent". Complete daily Drill is almost 1,000 touches on the ball.

Spend another ten minutes passing against a wall, both feet, both one and two-touch, instep and inside of feet, include fake kicks. Keep feet moving and work on accuracy.

Spend ten minutes juggling the ball trying to get 100 consecutive juggles.

Do 50 to 100 situps, then stretch.

Try to do complete workout every day. This workout can be done anywhere that there is little danger of breaking things, for instance in a basement, playroom or outside.

Total time for complete workout about 25 minutes. I suggest that you run at least 3 days a week in addition to this workout.

Dennis, thanks a lot.

Description of moves

Dennis Mueller wrote:

Below are descriptions of many of the Coerver moves gleaned from far too many hours watching tapes (Coerver, Busch series and Skills for the 90's) I've used names for them mostly in order to keep them straight in my head, but the younger kids like to use them too. I have taught all of these moves to my teams and when they were U-12s, every practice started with some variation of the seven minute drill. I have handed this out to the team about twice per year and added some additional work that the players can do on their own in very limited space. The version I hand out is specially formated so each topic is on one typed page, but for posting, I've removed the special formatting and this is plain text. I hope some of you will find it useful.

    The ball is in the middle of this imaginary square. The numbers are for feet positions, so think of the square (I know it looks like a rectangle) as having sides about shoulder width apart. The feet are in positions 3 (lf) and 4(rf). Ball is in middle area. RF steps over the ball to position 1. Player pivots on right foot toward position 2. Left foot lands on position 2. Player is now standing on 1 (rf) and 2(lf), facing 3 and 4. After they have this part figured out, have them carry the ball away with the left foot instead on stopping on position 2.

15. Full Sole Roll -- Roll the sole of one foot forward over the ball and to the outside so the ball stops against your heel. Turn and take the ball with the sole of the other foot with a Step-On.

17. 360 -- Push ball forward, stop it with the sole of one foot while stepping past it, turn and drag ball back with sole of other foot, continue turning all the way around and take the ball with the inside of the first foot.
18. Kick Over ball -- Kick over ball with inside of foot then pull it back with the sole of the same foot.
19. Foundation (Bell)
    • Step up and down to pass ball 4-6 inches between feet. Ball is passed between the feet with very soft, light touches.
    • Be sure weight if forward on balls of feet. With each step you should be coming down on your toes first; then your heels.
    • Knees stay bent at all times. Move the ball forward and backward.
    • Be sure you are stepping up and down; not sideways.
    • Work at getting a comfortable rhythm.
