The following activity, developed by Dennis Mueller and taken from the soccer coaches' mailing list, will improve your skills and help you get ready for your next season. The foot work activity is designed to give you about 1,000 touches in seven minutes. And I know that everyone can find seven minutes a day to work on their soccer skills. The full workout takes about 25 minutes.
Dennis Mueller, Director of Travel Teams for the Princeton Soccer Association
developed this activity and has agreed to share it with us. Thanks a
lot Dennis! (Click here for descriptions of the moves)

You can substitute any of the "Moves to Beat an
Opponent". Complete daily
Drill is almost 1,000 touches on the ball.
Spend another ten minutes passing against a wall, both feet, both one and
two-touch, instep and inside of feet, include fake kicks. Keep feet moving and
work on accuracy.
Spend ten minutes juggling the ball trying to get 100 consecutive juggles.
Do 50 to 100 situps, then stretch.
Try to do complete workout every day. This workout can be done anywhere that
there is little danger of breaking things, for instance in a basement, playroom
or outside.
Total time for complete workout about 25 minutes. I suggest that you run at
least 3 days a week in addition to this workout.
Dennis, thanks a lot.
