What do I recommend?

How can you ask that of me? Well, in case you missed it earlier here is my favorite axiom:

Cheap is good, cheaper is better, but Cheapest is Best!

Any more silly questions?

If you need more than just soccer drill ideas, such as entire soccer practice plans, you should go to the Soccer Practice Page.

Also, if you are just starting out as a “volunteer” youth soccer coach I highly recommend you go to the NEW Soccer Coach Page before you look at the drills.

Soccer Drills for Very Young Players

The soccer drills here are targeted for very young players in the U6 – U8 range.

Free Youth Soccer Drills for Older Players

The free soccer drills here are for kids U10 and higher. The complexity is a little higher as one would expect.

Soccer Goalie Drills

Um, let's see – drills for goalkeepers maybe? Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. You win a prize – how about free soccer goalie drills?

Soccer Skills Drills

These resources are specifically for learning moves, fakes, and the like and are more suitable for U10 and above.

Other Soccer Drill Resources

By far the best soccer drill book I have seen for youth soccer is Organizing Your Youth Soccer Team.

Read my review and form your own opinion.

Even better, you can be learning new drills to use in minutes because the book is available as a download!
