sure you push the progression as the learn the skill. These players like a set “schedule”, set up your

drills and keep the progression from one to the other drills in the same rotation from day to day so these

players get that “schedule” nailed down and feel comfortable learning the skill. Repetition is the best

way to see the success and making the drill a game will help the funnest factor. From throwing the ball

in to passing and dribbling as many touching of the ball you can incorporate, will make confidence soar in these special needs children.

April 28, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Pass n Move

 

 

 

 

 

 

Faster Passing And Moving Drills U10, U11, U12, U13, U15 Players. One touch passing and

moving without the ball are so important in good winning soccer. Teaching the speed of the

game in drill situations is to be focused on, to make faster player reactions. Aggressive receiving

of the ball and moving toward the pass to keep opponents for taking away the ball is critical in building

solid possession soccer. As a rule, the team with them most time of possession wins the game.

Turning and moving with and without the ball is the drills purpose. Don’t hold the ball too long and don’t

stand flat-footed, always be on the balls for our feet moving to an open position to receive an open

passing lane. Move to space and be where your team-mate can see you or hear you communicating.

One touch play is so important to keep a defense from getting set up to defend your teams attack. Look

to set up your team-mates best chance to play a better angle. Look to learn how to lay off a pass to a player for a shot on goal.

US Mens Soccer Team loses to Honduras 2-1 in a World Cup qualifying match Feb. 6th.

Clint Dempsey’s goal was not enough to carry the red, white, and blue of the US squad. This

Dempsey goal give him 31 total World Cup match play goals jumping above Brian McBride who

had 30 in his great career. Both offense and defense for the US squad looked a bit flat in Honduras.

The bicycle kick goal 4 minutes after the US scored really took the wind out of defense, as Honduras

seemed to play with more energy than the Yankees from the North. Next match, Costa Rica March

22nd at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo.  See the highlights below.

What Are The Most Successful Corner Kicks ?

December 15, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Corner Kick Spacing

 

 

 

 

 

 

What Are The Most Successful Corner Kicks ? Over 30 years of experience here at The Soccer Info

staff, it’s the ball chipped in between the penalty spot and the 6 yard goal kick line that creates the

most goals. Please stop playing the ball on a short pass to another teammate near the corner! That

play rarely ever gets any results and that strategy ends up playing into the defense’s hand. The best

play is to get a well paced chip pass just in front of the goal. Making the goalie to decide to come off

his line or to let his defenders clear the challenge. After watching 100′s of head ball goals, most come

from about 8 to 12 yards from the goal mouth, and is headed by an offensive player on the move.

Having players on the offense start 16 to 18 yards away, then run towards the flight of the in-swing chip,

this momentum gets the best results on strong head ball goals. Plus if the ball is chipped to deep past

the goal, always try to head the ball back to the middle again, that will give more  shot at goal.

One of the biggest challenges is having too many offensive players in the same area, spread out!

Covering all potential areas the ball could bounce to, gives your team coverage in keeping the ball in

his dangerous offensive chance to score. Please don’t play the ball short, give it chance to score,

lob it in! It’s your highest chance to score, put the ball into danger, use your advantage.

Indiana Wins NCAA Mens Soccer Title for the 8th time beating Georgetown 1-0 in a huge defensive

battle on Dec. 9th, 2012 College Cup Final in Hoover, AL. Both teams were red hot coming into the final

match, with Georgetown in a penalty kick off win and Indiana knocking off a tough Creighton team.

Coach Todd Yeagley was so proud of this squad bringing the Cup back to Indiana University for the

Eighth time in their successful team history. Senior Goalkeeper Luis Soffner was on top of his game,

not allowing any goals in two matches, giving the IU offense every chance to seal the victories. In

the Championship Game, it was Junior Nikita Kotlov who put in the 63rd minute off of a centered

head ball to tuck in the victory. The whole IU defense was on top billing all weekend, dialing up two

shutouts to bring home the NCAA Div. 1 Mens Championship. TheSoccerInfo congratulates the victors.

Watch the game here on ESPN U on a reply of the entire match.
