Soccerstar Drills

-This is a program of individual skills drills and tests as listed below. Sponsored by Coca-Cola in England - its been active since the 80's and has recently been made accessable through the internet at www.fa-soccerstar.com . Team Canada will use some of the drills and tests - as a feedback system so each player can see where he/she's at in respect to the star table (as compared to kids his/her own age)

DESCRIPTION:

The soccerstar program is a series of individual drills aimed at
benchmarking a kids performance against other kids who've done the program
in the past. This is done by comparing your childs score with the scores
listed on the table. By doing this, the little soccerstar can see how well
they're doing- and try to improve every time they do it.

We will do 3-4 drills The first 3 are all timing drills (how fast can you do it in seconds).
1. Running with the ball - best score in 2 attempts.
2. Turning - you get 3 attempts and took the sum for all 3 trys .
3. Dribbling -
The fourth is a shooting drill and we may or maynot get to that one.
