Practice Plans
Making a practice/training plan
1. Think through players age and skill and what 1-2 things you'd like to focus on during that session. Try to design/modify the drill to challenge players at all skill levels.
2. Have a running list of additional "things" to inject if you have time or a planned activity doesn't work well (maybe throw-ins or corner kicks).
3. Factor in water breaks and progressions of one drill to another.
4. Use some sort of written template.
Soccer Drills and Practices Volume 2801
This book is designed with drills for soccer players in mind. We go through the drills and show you how to do them (with diagrams if necessary), and what the end result might be for your players. Many of the drills will try to combine the skills of each of the areas with elements of the game that they need to try and improve. Some of the drills will be for each individual skilled position. You can review the full volume here: Soccer Drills and Practice Plans Volume 2801

Coaching advice
Coaching in the developmental age groups (U6/U8) should focus on ball control and physical body movements more than soccer strategy and positions. Starting at U10, introduce different offensive and defensive tactics and introduction to positions, but keep focus on individual player development. U12 and U15 should progress to more passing drills and positioning, but individual player skills should still be a significant portion of training sessions.
