Regular workouts are a must for soccer players, who need to stay in top physical condition year round to do their best on the field. If you can’t make it to the gym, working out at home is the obvious choice , where you can create your own alternative program for soccer success. Strength and conditioning soccer workouts are important but setting aside the time to do them can be a challenge.
Ball Skills :-
The best way to improve the vital skill of ball control is to practice ball mastery drills , which are so easy to do at home. Perform inside and outside circles, dribbling the ball in a circle using either the inside or outside of your foot. Keep the ball moving yet controlled in a small area with a freestyle dribble.
Practice juggling , tapping the ball up repeatedly with your feet as well. Soccer players move the ball with the knees, chest or head as well as their feet, so practicing juggling with these areas can work to your advantage on the field.
Strength Workouts :-
Soccer players need lower body and core strength exercises and even arm strength to balance well. Certain exercises rely only on your body weight for resistance, so you don’t need any special equipment to do them. Pushups and planks work your core, shoulders and arms, and you can do variations on these as well, such as side planks or one-handed push-ups.
Doing a workout that includes 30 seconds to one minute of each of these will take about 20 minutes if you do each exercise twice. Move immediately from one exercise to the next, but give yourself one minute of rest between the first and second round.
Agility :-
To work on your agility at home, perform cone drills. Set up a line of cones -- or use items you have on hand -- spacing them about 2 feet apart. Dribble the ball as fast as you can, weaving in and out of the cones from one end to the other. Another version that focuses on turning and cutting requires two rows of six cones each, spaced so you can run diagonally between them.
Shooting :-
When executing a Soccer free kick there should be emphasis on taking the free kick quickly so as to capitalize on any lapse in concentration or lack of organization from the defending team.
Ideally the ball should be played with inswing towards the goal, with spin and towards the near half of the goal.
