Moving from one soccer drill or game to another in your coaching sessions can often be problematic, especially if you need to change the group numbers each time.
Moving from one soccer drill or game to another in your coaching sessions can often be problematic, especially if you need to change the group numbers each time.

Numbers game set up
Large teams or groups
To make larger groups, eight for example, get the players into groups of four, then merge two together. This is much quicker than trying to get the players into groups of eight straight away.
Advance the soccer drill
You can have players perform different soccer skills as they move around the square. For example, put a number of balls in the square and have the players pass them around whilst skipping, or moving sideways or backwards.
