Commitment, consistency and completeness improves soccer performance, confidence on the ball and increases overall skill.
Training everyday whether it be juggling, kicking against a wall, dribbling through cones or trough and around obstacles or playing 1v1 with a friend will go a long way toward improvement.
Set short term goals like juggling 100 times or 500 hundred times, or working on three moves you want to improve on and be able to execute in a game. Long term goals may be to hit a Beckham type shot or cross, or learn to finish in front of the net etc.
Set you goals, have a plan and execute.. but don't forget to have fun along the way.
Bring a new level of enthusiasm to your soccer training sessions with new ideas. Any time spent with the ball and with friends is good time on the ball.
Commitment, consistency and completeness

Helps with flexibility, agility, strength and balance.

"Last year about this time you were so kind to send me a Futebol and not charge me for it. This little gem has definitely made a huge difference in my rehab and ROM. My LTKR was June 5, 07; RTKR Jan 2003. It was so easy to use the Futebol sitting at the computer or watching TV. I started using it with the right foot as well and I actually gained 4 more degrees of flexion! It isn't a whole lot but just a reminder to me and everyone else that rehab does continue for our lifetime after total knee replacement. I believe many of the members of On Our Feet forum have ordered Futebols from you. In fact, I just sent another lady your email address and phone number this evening. Thank you so much for making the Futebol available to us at such a reasonable price. How many do you think you sell in a month to people recovering from TKR? I have a reason for asking; we have been chatting about getting tee shirts made for the On Our Feet Futebol Team. It would of course require permission from Brasilian Futebol and Robin Hieran of On OUr Feet. Just something we "talked" about on the forum today. Again, thank you for the difference you are making in the lives of people with knee replacement! A few people have gone to Big 5 or Target and purchased a 10" ball but say it just doesn't work well for them. Nothing like having the real thing.

High level team play involves a team concept, tactics and chemistry. Teams and individual players need to know when it's time to take risk and have the ability to break down a defense. The ability to go 1v1 is essential and then, of course, there must be the finish.

The drill: Phase 1
Set up groups of 2 on both side lines about 25 yards from the end line.
These players will be attackers, taking on a defender 1v1 to get the cross off.

Set up groups of 3 approximately 35 yards from goal in the center of the field. This (these) group ('s) serve the ball to the attackers on the outside and then make their runs on goal and then makes a run on goal to provide coverage for the cross from the attacker and to work on finishing.
Play balls to alalternate sides at each start.
Runs should be made to the near post, far post and penalty spot.

Save 3 or 4 players for defense to challenge the attackers.

As the ball is played wide the defender challenges the receiver/attacker. The attackers job is to beat the defender and get a cross or shot off. Having both options will keep the defender honest.
The attacker should work on moves and attacking skills in this drill in order to find a way to beat the defender 1v1.

Finishers should work on good timing and gaining good position to be on the end of the cross on a run or at least with momentum toward the goal. Coverage should contain the cross, framing the goal and creating opportunities for a one or two touch shot. All players should follow the shot.

Defenders should defend against the attacker penetrating to the middle of the field, forcing the dribbler outside and then work toward denying the cross and possibly stripping the ball.

Defenders may have greater success at first. In order to keep play lively have the second attacker waiting with the ball ready to hit a cross if the defender is successful.

Evolving. Placing 1 and two touch restrictions on finishers as they start to get a feel for the mechanics of finishing will bring greater success to game play.
Teaching the attacker to turn away from pressure if penetration is cut off in order to maintain possession will create more possession play and thus more opportunities on goal.
Adding nuances or layers such as give and go's for the attacker or overlapping play from the outside will bring greater sophistication to team play.

Using a smaller ball than used in game play for training sessions improves soccer performance, confidence on the ball and increases overall skill.
Tennis balls are extreme but a great way to hone focus and eye foot coordination. Size #2's and #3's are good but may be a little light. We like the Brasilian Futebol for training purposes because it has a good weight to it, is bouncy and provides a nice touch.
It can be used it most technical training or just used in small games. We like to juggle with it to develop touch, agility and coordination.
