 We all want to be great players, we want to have fancy skills, but you need to start somewhere. In this video, I'm going to show you soccer drills for beginners. Regardless of your age, if you're just getting started in soccer, you're a total beginner, I would recommend that you start with fundamental skills. I'm going to give you a few drills that are easy to get started with. They'll help you build a little bit of confidence on the bowl. Number one is footwork drills. You've all seen this a hundred times, but start here, build confidence using both feet. Next, I would move into a little more advanced. These are still drills that I do all the time. In reality, a lot of advanced players, they get away from fundamentals, or they think they're too good for fundamentals, and they're really missing out on some valuable development. Their technical skills could be a lot better if they didn't think that they needed complex advanced drills. Do the basics, do them very well. Coming back to footwork, doing some of these. Inside-outside touches, bending knees getting lower to the ground. Working with both feet. Let's talk about that for a second. Don't wait until you've played 10 years to start working on your weak foot. Work on both feet. Use both feet from the very beginning. You will thank yourself that you did this. Whatever point in your career that you're at right now, adopt the mentality. If I do 10 shots with my right, I'm going to do 10 shots with my left. Fundamentals. Next I would do is some dribbling drills. Basic turning. Dribbling with the ball. Turning. Focus on getting low to the ground. Nice touches. You can use inside the foot, outside the foot. That's where I would start. And again, with both feet. Focusing on the touches, but also movement of the body. And everyone makes mistakes. If you do, especially as a beginner, just go again. Okay, but getting low to the ground. Inside touches, outside. Focusing on turning, inside and outside the foot. The next soccer drill I would have you practice is juggling. So obviously this is the goal. Nice, comfortable, confident juggling. But realistically, if you've just started, that is a struggle. So what you want to do is start kick and catch. Focus on getting good backspin on the ball. Focus on getting a nice, strong touch. Probably struggling to get enough power on the ball. It's probably dying down here. So in the beginning, it's better for you to have a touch that's way too heavy than a touch that's not strong enough. So focus on flexing that foot, curling your toes. Getting under the ball, creating good backspin on the ball. You don't want it to go to the side. You don't want it to go forward. If anything, have it come into yourself so at least you can control it. Okay, but start with the kick and catch. Once you're comfortable in that, you developed confidence in actually flexing your foot and getting a good strong touch. You can do a double. You can do a left-right or a right-left. But then you want to move into actually juggling, trying to keep the ball up as many times as you can. And maybe today, your record is four. But that's where you start. Tomorrow, you want to make it five. The next day, you want to do six or beat your record every single day. Use it as a way to challenge yourself and to actually see if you're progressing with your ball control with your basic fundamental skills. So don't get frustrated if you make a mistake. I know it can be very frustrating as a beginner when you see other people juggling the ball and it looks so easy for them. But realistically, you don't deserve to have those skills yet because you haven't put in the time. They have, but you will get the skills. Just put in the practice. If you make mistakes, don't get frustrated. Just pick the ball up again, go again. Think about what you're doing wrong, what you can do better next time. The next fundamental skill that you need to practice as a beginner is ball striking. So ball striking can be shooting and it can also mean passing. You need to practice both and you need to practice with both feet from the beginning. Now, getting a ball and shooting it into a net is fantastic. But I want to show you a better way to practice as a beginner. Shooting into a net. It feels really good. It sounds good, feels good. And it's easy to practice. But as a beginner, as any player realistically, the way you're going to improve faster is with more repetitions. Obviously you have to analyze those repetitions, but if I can pick a ball against a wall, it passes it back to me. Every time I'm practicing on the field, if I have one ball, I kick it into the net, then I run and go again, then I run back, and then I go again to take another shot. You're getting two shots in the time that you would get 20 shots with a wall. So I really recommend practicing with a wall. For practicing shooting, it serves there. It serves basic technique. Take your time. Focus on making good contact, but you're not starting to feel it. As a beginner, you're not trying to blast the ball as hard as you can. What you're focusing on is good technique. So focus on the legs, flush contact. Don't worry about being in the heart. Just hit the wall. Hit the squat. You need to get into your active scene in the beginning. And ride back. Focus on that way. It's a great way to improve your skills. So shooting is one. You can practice passing the ball. Best friend when you want to get better as a beginner.
