If you're like me, you need soccer drills for your youth soccer team. It's always easier to incorporate a drill you've seen than one you've only read about. Enjoy the free clips I've collected from the internet.

Soccer Drill: 4v2 Defending Drill



This drill develops the concept of defensive support among two defenders. It can be used for any age level. It has the added benefit of developing possession skills in your attacking players.

Simple Drill

I prefer to run this drill with 4 players to teach triangle formations - the defender is in the center of the triangle formed by the other 3 and if a player on the triangle gives the ball up, they become the defender. A simple drill that is good for all skill levels.
