Self-Directed Soccer

A training plan that teaches young players to learn and love the game

Young players usually sharpen their skills between the ages of 6 and 14. This skill building is essential for both soccer success and enjoyment of the game. But skills come with repetition that can bore or discourage your players. To counter this, PlaySportsTV offers a comprehensive training plan that mixes soccer fun and fundamentals in both individual and team practice routines. Combine this plan with coach and parent encouragement and supervision, especially at its beginning, and you’re on your way to helping players love the game by playing it better. The plan comes complete with downloadable training notes and coaching tips for each drill.
