Soccer Shooting Drills

There really is no comparison between a well-made video training program as compared to a book or diagram-based soccer training program. Soccer is such a visual game, and it is so much easier to learn fundamentals as well as things like soccer shooting drills -- especially dribbling drills or receiving drills where you really need to see the action to understand it best. But there are also video programs which are simply low-quality, and should be avoided. Just because it's video-based doesn't mean it's good.

Another very impressive aspect of SoccerU.com is that coach's viewpoint on soccer drills. He has nothing against drills; in fact the program has more drills than most of the other programs I've seen. The viewpoint on drills is that too many soccer programs focus too much on drills and not enough on fundamentals. Fundamental skills must be learned well before moving on to drills, especially group drills.

Even if you are only searching for soccer shooting drills you should seriously consider the DVD training program at SoccerU. You will find skill and drill videos on every aspect of the game that can vastly improve any team on any level. For example, there are separate videos on ball control, the difference between dribbling and speed dribbling, dribbling under pressure, passing, receiving passes, throw-ins, the difference between offensive and defensive headers, chesting, controlling with the body, moves, slide tackling, block tackling, first touch, and much more.

The DVD set at SoccerU.com will give you the real instruction that you need in all areas of the game whether you are a player, parent, or coach. If you want to take your game to its highest level, these skills are a must. There really is no better program available short of hiring a professional coach. But this is actually better than hiring a personal coach because you will have this in your possession for your whole life and can constantly review and fine tune your game.
