Soccer Drills
For Very Young Kids (U6-U8)
If you need more than just soccer drills, 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.
You will find that many of these soccer games are from the NASL soccer drill website. You should send their webmaster, Ken Gamble, a note of thanks. He does a great job.
Here are my personal favorite soccer drill resources incorporated into 8 weeks of soccer practice plans:
- Coaching Manual for U-6 and U-8 - Gavin J. Spooner (MS Word format)
- Coaching Manual for U-8 and U-10 - Gavin J. Spooner (MS Word format)
Another one high on my list is Practice Plans from Soccer-Coach-L.
Individual Soccer Drills
I have gone through many soccer drill pages to find ones that are specifically suited for youth soccer in the U-6 to U-8 range. Enjoy. (If you don’t have it, you can download a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader HERE.)

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!
