Soccer Warm Up Components
There are a lot of good warm-ups, so let me just ask you to think about including these elements:
- Greeting to the players - Thank each player for coming and acknowledge each one. Present your goal to team. You have the lesser of 3 sentences or 30 seconds.
- Warm-up running - playing a relay or tag game might be more fun
- Stretching - Good chance to pat a couple of players on the back and offer encouragement, but let your team captains run the stretching.
- Fun warm-up games - These should be fun and provide movement. Ultimate Frisbee, relays, juggling in small groups, ball tag and other games.
- More stretching - Repeating stretches for the large muscle groups.
- Touches on the ball - Partners with a ball, working all surfaces, settling, trapping, kills, volleying, heading.
- Passing with partner - Many different sequences possible, Karrie Miller 1-2-3 touch sequence very fun for kids and effective. 1 touch passing is at 10 feet, 2 touch allows player to receive and clean up with first touch, pass with second, and 3 touch allows receive, push forward to attack, then pass. At 3 touch, both players move together back and forth, as the passer has to back up quickly after passing. Work toward getting ball off line of play quickly when received as this is needed in the match.
- Small group passing exercises - Like lines facing with one touch passing, sometimes with a bending run to the back of a line opposite, takeovers, wall passes. Passing groups of 3 and 4 moving and passing and communicating. Full team passing exercises with 3 or 4 balls, players checking away and then to the ball, again with communication, receiving and turning ball or taking ball off line of play.
- Possession games - Pass across the circle and chase your pass, defender in middle of circle keepaway, or 7 v 7 possession. You don't have to have bibs, just start two circles each playing keepaway with a defender in the middle, ask kids in one circle to pull their shirts out and go take the ball away from the other circle.
- Small sided games - Play a small match to target players or cones. Play three teams (need bibs) first time shooting in front of goal.
- Shooting exercises - Oh.... the usual shooting lines going to goal. Don't have the coach distributing. Make sure that the emphasis is on shooting technique. It's OK if the ball is rolling very slowly, you are not focusing on receiving, so keep the services slow. Exercises can include even 1v1 and 2v2 to goal.
- Composure time - Give the kids a moment to collect their thoughts and get a drink. Get them over early enough to see you smiling and to get organized before the match begins. You have time to give a lineup and to talk for about 15 seconds, no more.

Soccer Clubs Formation
The first step in creating a soccer club is deciding the level of skill or competence you want your club to achieve. With this you will be able to determine the members you wish to get. It is important to invite the players who pass the level of competence you aspire for the group.
Soccer Club Formation Base
The formation you choose should be based on:
- The ability of your players.
- Your players speed and endurance.
- The number of substitutes you have.
- The length of the field.
- The other team's strengths and weaknesses.
(If you play fewer than 11 on the field, the same principles still apply, but you will need to reduce the numbers accordingly).
You should use a formation that gives your players the best chance of being successful. For example, if you have a great goalkeeper, a fast, tough and skilful player who can play Sweeper, and either Fullbacks with lots of endurance or lots of subs, or play on a short field, you can play a 1-3-3-3 and push your Fullbacks up to the halfway line when you attack. However, if you play on a long field, don't have many subs, and have Fullbacks who aren't fast and who lack stamina, your players can't be successful if you ask them to push up to the halfway line on your attack and you will be better off to use a 3-2-2-3 formation (3 FB's, 2 Defensive Midfielders, 2 Offensive MF's & 3 Forwards).
Team Formation Responsibility
It will be the responsibility of the age group coordinators to form teams within their age group. This will be done based on the team formation process outlines below. Once teams have been formed, the club president will review and approve the teams and submit them to the club registrar for processing.

Soccer Attractions
Soccer is a game that has become world wide famous now-a-days. With each passing day, one can see its popularity rising higher and higher. The term 'soccer' evolved in the later part of the 19th century when people began abbreviating the French variation of 'association football' to soccer. Some people call it football, some call it soccer. But whatever name is used, it refers to the same beautiful game which has captured the interests of more and more Americans in the recent years.

Soccer Jerseys for all Players
The soccer jersey has suffered a lot of changes over the years. In the beginning, the jerseys were made mostly out of cotton and were relatively thick in comparison to the modern ones. This was a disadvantage because when the players used to sweat the shirt would get heavier and stick to the body.
Initially soccer uniforms and soccer jerseys were only worn by the soccer players. With the passage of time, as soccer became more popular and built its strong fan following, the fans of a particular team thought that the best way to show their allegiance to their team was by wearing their team’s uniform. Many brands started manufacturing replica soccer uniforms for fans besides original soccer uniforms for the players. As a large part of the soccer fan following constitutes women and teenage girls, therefore, every soccer uniform selling company make sure that it offers a good selection of women’s soccer wear as well.

Referee Soccer Uniform
Remember that your goalie will wear a different soccer uniform than the rest of your team. Because the goalie is the one player allowed to place his hands on the ball, the goalie is usually required to dress in a different color scheme so that the referees can easily distinguish him from the rest of the team. Also, goalie uniforms have both padded shorts and shirts that will help absorb some of the shots that are sure to come his way. Further, goalie shirts are typically long sleeved, unlike the rest of the team who will be wearing short sleeves.
Lastly, keep in mind that you'll have to select soccer socks that will complement your team colors. Soccer socks are unlike traditional socks in that they're designed to come up to the knee as well as be flexible enough to house the plastic shin guards that are worn underneath.
If you're unsure where to turn at this point, the Internet is your ally. There are hundreds of suppliers online and you can pick and choose the soccer uniform that most appeals to you. Also, you can seek counsel from other coaches and organizers in your soccer league and they can share with you the suppliers with whom they've had success in the past. With a little research and intuition, you can find a soccer uniform that will make your kids excited to be a part of the team.

Soccer Jerseys
The football jersey in the 19th century was long-sleeved and of heavier material than jerseys of today. It was common for players to wear caps, long "nickerbockers" instead of shorts, which covered the knees, and long socks. A jersey from 1921 is illustrated opposite.
Gradually the football jersey and the whole soccer uniform has become lighter and more colorful. The most rapid changes took place after World War II when synthetic materials, such as acrylic became widely available.
Soccer Uniform
America calls it soccer. The rest of the world calls it football — futbol, fĂștbol, fussball...
It's the game in which the goalie is the only player allowed to catch the ball, while everyone else furiously kicks with feet, knees...their heads...(no helmets, no shoulder pads, no refrigerator-sized players!) ... which ultimately results in a lightning fast chase so exciting that the attention of the whole world is completely captured.
