Soccer Practice Plans (Print and Use)
Below are some practice plans previously used by One Goal Sports' coaches during practices. Please feel free to print and use these during your season. These plans are provided to give you the extra boost of confidence needed to get out on the field and make Jesus known through soccer.
Keep in mind that you may not be able to accomplish each practice activity listed on a given plan. Tailor the drills to your players. If you find a game or drill that works, store it away and use it later in the season. Also, even though a practice plan (game or drill) may be geared toward a specific age group, with some minor tweaking, every age group can benefit. Enjoy!
