Four ways to get your U8 to U14 better, faster with the game of soccer.

1. Juggle as much as you can with both feet, legs, and head. Feel the touch of the ball.

2. Use cones to dribble through to work on touches back and forth. Place them 3 feet

apart for the first round, then place them 2 feet apart on second round, then try 1 foot apart.

3. Shield the ball dribbling, go around 4 box cones placed 15 feet apart, and dribble acting

as if the cone was a defender. Keep your body between the ball and the cone and change pace.

4. Small touch dribbling and feints are so important. Work on these triangle pull back moves

and making feint moves to work on keeping defenders guessing where you are going.
