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:

  1. The ability of your players.
  2. Your players speed and endurance.
  3. The number of substitutes you have.
  4. The length of the field.
  5. 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).

Keep in mind that in any formation your players will need to shift with the ball, sag when on defense and push forward some on the attack. I find it helpful to give my players some clear rules to follow so they understand their responsibilities.

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.

The club registrar will register players to teams as submitted. The club registrar will also be responsible for obtaining and distributing player cards to all teams, adding and deleting players and providing team rosters to coaches upon request.

The concepts of "Positions", "Support" and "Shift & Sag" teach teamwork and, when combined with a "Formation" and "Style Of Play", they provide the organization for your team's play, and collectively are called your "System of Play".

Soccer Jerseys for all Players

Nothing identifies the game as much as the soccer jerseys. The jersey is probably the most important part of the uniform. It doesn't matter if it's a club or national team; the soccer jersey is typical and unique of the game. One can tell if a person is using a soccer jersey from miles away, and it is used not only by soccer fans but also because a lot of the jerseys have nice designs and lines to them, which allows people to wear them in practically any occasion.

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.
