For some reason the intensity spikes when players are asked to compete against their team mates. This is a soccer agility drill in which team mates race through a quick agility course to get to the ball first. On the whistle, the players run to each cone and touch the top of the cone. The coach passes a ball down the middle of the field and player who gets to the ball first is rewarded with a shot. Variations to this drill can be added to include longer agility courses. Longer courses can turn this drill into a conditioning drill as well that is fun for the players.






Soccer Agility Drills
This soccer drill focuses on speed and footwork. In this variation of the drill, the blue lines in the diagram represent a forward run and the red line represents a backwards run. It is a good idea to time your players throughout the year to track their progress. A variation for younger players is to eliminate the backwards run so the players are running forwards the entire course. A variation for more advanced players is to have them pick up a soccer ball at the start of the forward weave, and drop it off where they begin the backwards weave.
