Solosoccer Workout 1

SoloSoccer is a Train at Home video series from How To Soccer that allows the student to self-pace their learning.  Training at home will improve confidence with the ball, and is the quickest way to accelerate performance in the game.   

Anyone can train at home. You need some flat space and a few objects to throw on the ground, then you and your ball can start to create magic.

How To Soccer is the web based tool Athens Soccer Academy uses to teach the game.  Subscribe to Athens Soccer Academy on You Tube to see the latest videos as they are released.

SOLOSOCCER SESSION 1




The List is broken down into nine (9) videos. Seven videos teach train-at-home skills and the final two videos show the entire workout.

Here is a guide to assist the student. Within the Session 1 List, you will find,

Two Balltouch videos: Balltouch incorporates key surfaces of the feet. Start slowly and work to have the foot surfaces properly contact the ball.  After some progress is made a rhythm can be established.  Pivot on the ball of the foot and with a slight hop between techniques.

1) SOLOSOCCER 1A: TouchWork Exercise 1:
Ball is drawn back with the sole of the foot and pushed diagonally forward with the outside edge of the foot.

2) SOLOSOCCER 1B: BallTouch Work
BallTouch Work: Ball is drawn back with the sole of the foot and moved forward

Two Juggling with the Instep Videos: Students may juggle a soccer ball already, but by learning medium high juggling with the top of the foot--the instep--, the student is honing their body form for a very specific soccer skill, the instep drive.  The instep drive is the technique used for driven balls, and is used to put full power behind a level and straight shot. 

3) SOLOSOCCER 1C: Technical Juggling Demo Coach 

4)  SOLOSOCCER1D: Medium High Juggling Student 




Three Conework Videos: Dribbling through a small course of obstacles, such as cones, teaches pivoting with the ball.  The foot surfaces will be engaged to maneuver the ball through spaces between obstacles.  As the student gains confidence through the course, the train at home Coach can time the player.  Increasing speed and reducing spaces between cones are two ways to raise the stress level on the player. This should happen gradually.

5)  SOLOSOCCER 1E: CONECOURSE DRIBBLING
 
6)  SOLOSOCCER 1F: Conework student 

7)  How To Soccer: SOLOSOCCER 1G: Conework coach


Training at home needs to become routine in order to show results in a reasonable amount of time.  Train every other day and within 2 weeks, the student should see improved times through the conecourse, and feel more at home with the balltouch work.
