KCL Practice Plan 1-28-26


5:00–5:05 | Bounce Juggling

We’ll start with bounce juggling to get focused and sharp.

  • Work toward 30 bounce juggles
  • Once you can do 30 juggles, next juggle twice and catch
  • Reset and repeat

Focus: soft touches, balance, concentration


5:05–5:15 | Shooting Drill (10 min)

  • Clean striking technique
  • Accuracy before power
  • Quick setup and finish

The goal is to be composed and confident when shooting.


5:15–5:25 | Passing & Skill Constraint Game (10 min)

Same drill as last week:

  • Players must complete 10 passes or skills before scoring
  • Encourage movement, communication, and patience

Focus: decision-making and supporting teammates


5:25–5:40 | Scrimmage (15 min)

  • Free play with light coaching
  • Encourage creativity and application of skills

5:40–5:45 | Team Discussion – The Four Agreements (Week 2)

Be Impeccable With Your Word

The Lesson: Words stick.

We don’t label teammates as “slow” or “bad.” What we say matters, especially to kids. This starts with parents and coaches setting the example.

If you tell a kid they are slow, they may believe it. If you build them up, they grow.

Soccer Focus:

  • Saying “good effort” builds confidence
  • Encouragement helps teammates play better
  • We make soccer more fun by supporting each other

5:45–6:00 | Box Time (15 min)

Small-sided box play:

  • Lots of touches
  • Quick decisions
  • Game-like pressure

This time allows players to apply what we worked on in a competitive setting.


Theme of the Day:
Your words matter. Build your teammates up.
