Thanks Krones my 10 year old did not believe me it was all in one go. He has now taken up your challenge and reached level 1.

I will be introducing something similar for my U11 team over summer. We have continued to train once a week since the end of the season as well.

take a video they will all tell you that "it cant be done". Then you can play it back to them when they do it.

Krones3...I must say I'm impressed with your system. It's a great idea. Good work!

The other thing I discovered with practices like this is the little things that emerge. When I set my lads the task of only doing rondos prior to training it was amazing what developed. I just wanted them to stop mindlessly shooting the ball at goals but I got more than I bargained for :). The culture and mentality of the team took a subtle turn for the better. Things like the following came out:

1) Discipline improved & they started to self regulate their behaviour. They would start and run the rondos themselves. They looked forward to joining in and any stragglers made sure they got there early. They decided that late comers would be in the middle.
2) I initially encouraged them to have fun doing it and this quickly led to lots of great skills being used. The more technical players became sharper and those not so skilled started to grow in confidence.
3) It helped them develop a better touch under pressure and helped in their understanding of a possession based mentality. Even those who considered themselves not so good were able to hold the ball and move it reliably to their team mates.
4) It became their standard fun game before the official warm-up on game day.
5) Nut megs, passes splitting defenders and other "achievements" were welcomed with lots of laughter, whoops and cheering. If I joined in nutmegging or beating the coach was a prized goal.
6) Many times I saw their opposition eyeing them and wondering what was going on. Needless to say the lads were oblivious to this as they were just having too much fun.

If you guys have any other suggestions, like the Krone3's system or soccer-tennis, please let us know. I'll have to give the juggling system a go now :)

Update
2 players on level 3- 1 on level 2

these three players are hitting a mannequin on the full at 15m and are increasing their dribbling speed.

the rest are not coming to training app 2-3 or improving quickly from a very low base with less than a year of football app 5.

Summer training is over.
18 extra training sessions 9 weeks and a fantastic result.
All about skill comfort on the ball added heal passing drawbacks with tap behind standing leg and cuts left right.
The weaker players are now very comfortable on the ball and the stronger players have really improved their left foot.
told the players not to touch the ball from 20/12/14 till 20/01/15 then train on their own till feb , then we will do 1-2 skills training sessions then training games against older and younger teams. weather permitting.

New Drill

right foot roll over - left foot roll over- right foot pull back - tap behind left foot

then

left foot roll over- right foot roll over - left foot pull back - tap behind right foot

repeat over and over backwards for 8m

I'm not sure if it is too advanced for whatever age/skill level you guys are teaching at.

But I noticed while the Jets were warming up on the weekend, that the subs did an interesting little drill.

Firstly, they played a rondo of 4v1. They did that for a while, then moved onto the next phase:

1 guy in the middle, 4 around him. Same rough setup as rondo. But a guy on the outside started, juggled it up, then juggle-passed it to the guy in the middle. Who then juggle-passed it to the next guy, and so on going around clockwise. The person stayed in the middle, so got the most touches. Whenever a guy on the outside stuffed up, he went in the middle. They were getting it to one touch each, but also doing variations of it. It seemed fun and very skillful.

Thanks mate I have been looking for something like this. It sounds better than keeping ups.

I once saw Terry Antonis juggle , big ball , tennis ball , squash ball. And looked around at all these amazing faces Wow. It was amazing.
Many years ago a young lad would travel 800 miles to attend Coerver in NSW, at the age of eleven before he joined EPL Club he juggled a size 4 ball 7711 times, a tennis ball 2467, a squash ball 1897 times. It improves both feet , concentration, touch, balance. But it's fun also. And Harry Kewell would juggle when down on confidence. Make it fun. And good to see you coaches are doing this, keep it up.
