more tricks for losing an opponent. Kick and run There is a lot in soccer which can be accomplished just as well by coaching basic soccer drills for kids as complex ones. Often with kids at U5-U9 the simpler the method the game is played, the easier and better it is for them. Use this elementary soccer drill to get your team kicking the ball past their opponents and moving quickly to make the most of any given situation. For example, knocking the ball past a player and running to beat them is a simple way of getting past the opposition. If you make your players practice this soccer drill, they will realize they don’t have to pass the ball at all times. Kids have to be aware that they can get into favorable positions by kicking the ball into space and following it. Advantage of good dribbles When a player is in possession of the ball, the opposition will make sure to run onto him and try taking the ball away from him. If the player pushes the ball past, the defending player will have to turn and shift his balance and start chasing the ball from a standing start. This provides the attacking player the advantage. It enables him to surge past the defender and move into space to get an easier pass or shot on goal.
