Introduction Back

Separation Season offers each position group two training program options. Each
training program is eight weeks and has 3-4 days of training per week. Players will
select one of the following two training programs.

• Program A is designed for players who have access to a Goal and a Pass-Back device
(Wall, Bench, Step, etc.) all at one location. This means the player can perform any
exercise in the Program at the same location during a training session.

• Program B is designed for players who have access to a Goal and and a Pass-Back
device at different locations.
• 2-3 training sessions each week are designed to be on the field with the goal.
These sessions focus on Dribbling, Crossing, Shooting, and Final Pass actions.
• 1-2 of the training sessions each week are designed to be with the Pass-Back
device (Wall, Bench, Step, etc.), and are referred to as “Wall Days” in the
program. These sessions focus on Passing and Dribbling actions.

** Players must have a Goal and a Pass-Back device in order to perform the program in
full. However, if they do not have access to either, there is a menu of drills in the “Ball
Mastery” section of the book with drills that only require a ball. They can perform these
drills, or extra sets of the drills in the program they are able to. 1

Program Key

• Week/Day: The week and day of the training day. Each

program runs 3-4 days a week for 8 weeks.

• Exercise: The Drill/Variation you will be performing.

The Drill is in bold Font. The Variation is in regular
font.

• Sets: How many groups of consecutive reps you will

perform for an exercise.

• Reps: The number of efforts you will perform in each

set

• Rest Time: The amount of rest between sets for each

exercise
• Between exercises, take the time you feel you
need. It can help to set up multiple drills before
starting your session in order to maximize your
time.

• Video: A link to a YouTube video demonstration of the

exercise

Program Notes Back

• Equipment: For almost every drill you will need a ball and several cones. If you do not have cones you can be
creative and use shoes, socks, or other small items. For passing exercises you can use a wall, rebounder, bench,
etc.
• The only drills you will need two balls are the Two Shot Sequences. These drills are for Strikers /
Attacking Midfielders, Wingers, and Central Midfielders. Normally there will be 1-2 of these drills each
week. If you only have one ball, you can do extra sets of the other shooting drills.

• Session Plans: It is a good idea to read the session plan and watch the videos of all the drills before you go out
to train. If you are stopping during the middle of the session between every drill to watch the demo videos, it
is going to slow things down for you quite a bit. This is a good habit to get into as a player.

• Variations and Progressions: The program has four phases that each run for two weeks. The first three phases in
complexity over time. The last phase will continue this pattern, but also re-incorporate some of the previous
drills and variations, with the expectation being that you will be able to do them

• Partner Training: This is an individual training program. However, if you have a partner to train with, that is
fantastic! This is a great idea for Passing, Shooting, and Crossing drills. For dribbling and ball mastery drills,
you can take turns where one is working and one is resting.

Coaching Points Back

• You will only get out what you put in

• If you give two players the same training program, the one that is more committed to seeing it all the
way through and giving their best effort each day will see the most improvement in their game. Even
if you give someone the best training program in the world, the results ultimately come down to their
own application.

• If it is important to you, you will make it happen

• Everyone has busy lives with multiple commitments. Not everyone has equal access to resources or
equipment. However, if you are truly committed to your improvement as a player, you will not use
those things as excuses. You will find the time to get your training in, and make the most of whatever
resources you have available.

• Have fun, be creative, enjoy the process of getting better.

• This program is not just throwing drills at you to use for eight weeks and never again. It is giving you
the tools for continued self improvement as a player going forward. Learn from these drills and use
them to create your own variations in the future based on your position, strengths, weaknesses, and
unique traits as a player. Some drills will be more challenging than others, but the only way you can
get better is to constantly test yourself and push your boundaries.

• Promise from Ainscough Soccer

• Any player who goes through this entire program as written will improve their all around technical
ability in a way that will translate to live game environments.

56
 Cone Dribbling

Note:
Black Line: Dribble Out
Red Line: Dribble Back

Set-Up
• 8 Cones
• First 7 Cones: 1 Yard Apart
• Last Cone: 5 Yards From 7th Cone

Instructions
• Dribble between the first 7 cones
• After coming out of the last gap, speed dribble in a loop around the last cone
• Dribble back through the 7 cones to the starting spot

Coaching Points
• Accelerate aggressively after coming out of the last cone. This builds the habit of taking
your space quickly after getting out of a tight situation on the field.
• As you get more comfortable with this drill you can increase your speed or move the cones
closer together to challenge yourself.

57
 Zig-Zag Dribbling

Note:
Black Line: Dribble Out
Red Line: Dribble Back

Set-Up
• 6 Cones in a Zig Zag formation
• Length of course should be 10-15 Yards

Instructions
• Dribble around the outside of the Zig Zag course using the assigned skill at each cone
• Once you reach the end cone, circle around with a tight dribble and go back through the course
• Going up and back is one set of the drill

Coaching Points

• Your dribble should keep you tight to the cones and lines of the course
• This drill is more about close control and getting familiar using different surfaces of the
foot than it is about creating separation from the defender. That will come in more
advanced dribbling drills and ones that add in end product.
• If this variation or any others are new or difficult for you make sure you can complete a
full rep properly before building up your speed.

58
 Changing Gears

Note:
Black Line: Dribble Out
Red Line: Dribble Back

Set-Up
• 9 Cones
• First 3 Cones: 1 Yard Apart
• Second 3 Cones: 2-3 Yards Apart
• Last 3 Cones: 1 Yard Apart
• 8-10 Yards Between Each Set of Cones

Instructions
• Dribble between the first set of 3 cones
• Accelerate to the second set
• Control your body and the ball through the second set
• Accelerate to the third set
• Control your body and the ball through the third set
• Round the last cone and return through the course

Coaching Points
• The main focus of this drill is body control and keeping the ball close to you as you change speeds.
• There are no variations of the drill asking for any moves, so feel free to be creative. With that said, the
priority is moving through the course at high speeds, so don't feel the need to over-complicate it.

59
 5 Yard Turns

5 Yards

Note:
Black Line: Dribble Out
Red Line: Dribble Back

Set-Up
• 4 Cones or 2 Lines set up 5 Yards apart from each other

Instructions
• Start on one line with the ball
• Dribble to the other line and execute the turn as close to the line as possible
• Repeat back and forth for the entire set

Coaching Points
• Being able to quickly change direction to find space is critical in the game. This drill gives you a
wide variety of ways to do that. Some you'll be familiar with right away. For the ones that are new
or challenging to you, start slowly and build your speed.

60
 5-10 Turn Shu e

Yards
10
Yards

Note:
Black Line: Dribble Out
Red Line: Dribble Back

Set-Up
• 6 Cones or 3 Lines set up 5 Yards apart from each other

Instructions
• Start on one line with the ball
• Execute this drill like a 5-10 Yard suicide while dribbling the ball
• The turns that you use will be the same variations as the 5 Yard Turn Drill

Coaching Points

• In this drill you'll be using the same turns from the previous week.
• Adding in the 10 yard dribble will force you to break down and turn after building up more speed
• Make sure you perform the assigned turn when you hit the line at the end of the rep, don't just run
through the end line.

61
 Cone Landmine Field

Set-Up
• 10-20 Cones
• Cones are scattered randomly in close proximity to each other
• Phone Timer or Stop Watch

Instructions
• Start outside the field of cones
• For the prescribed amount of time, freestyle dribble between the cones in the field.
• Use a stopwatch or phone timer to time the set
• Keep close control and try not to hit any of the cones
• Be creative, mix it up

Coaching Points

• Do not overthink your route as you go in and out of the field. Let your movements come naturally.
The purpose of this drill is increase your comfortability in tight spaces where you don't have time to
pre plan your actions.
• Stick to the rest time as closely as possible. There should be an aerobic conditioning component to
this drill that will make each set increasingly challenging. This will test your ability to maintain your
skill level as you fatigue.
• Feel free to re-scatter the cones in a different formation after a few sets if you want 62
 T-Drill

Cone A

5 Yards

Cone C Cone B Cone D

5 Yards
Note:
Black Line: Dribble Out
Red Line: Dribble Back

Set-Up
• 4 Cones in a ’T’ Shape
• Each Cone 5 Yards Apart
• Phone Timer or Stop Watch (Optional)

Instructions
• Start on Cone A
• Dribble toward Cone B
• Dribble toward Cone C
• Dribble toward Cone D
• Dribble back to Cone B
• Finish at Cone A
• ***Switch sides. Alternate going from Cone B to Cone C or D initially
• • Use a timer if possible to record your best time!

Coaching Points
• Effort in this drill should be maximal, so it is okay if you need slightly more recovery time in between reps.
• This is a great test of your body control and ability to accelerate and decelerate with the ball.
• If you do not have a timer it is no problem, but it is a great tool to have as it will give you feedback on your
speed for each rep!
63
 Directional Air Control

5 Yards

Note:
Black Line: Dribble Out
Red Line: Dribble Back

Set-Up
• 4 Cones in a Diamond Shape
• Each Cone 5 Yards From Center

Instructions
• Juggle the ball high in the air.
• Control the ball with the assigned part of your body in the direction of one of the cones
• Keep good control, dribble around the cone and back to the start
• You can chose which cone you want to go towards. Be creative. Mix it up.

Coaching Points

• This drill is the first progression of controlling the ball out of the air. You will build into making
another action after your first touch (dribbling at the cone and exploding away, making a pass,
etc.). Use this drill to get comfortable with your first touch before moving into the progressions.

64
 Directional Air Control to Move

5 Yards

Note:
Black Line: Dribble Path

Set-Up
• 4 Cones in a Diamond Shape
• Each Cone 5 Yards From Center

Instructions
• Juggle the ball high in the air.
• Control the ball with the assigned part of your body in the direction of one of the cones
• Attack the cone with the assigned 1v1 move and take one or two explosive touches into the space.
• You can chose which cone you want to go towards. Be creative. Mix it up.

Coaching Points

• Once you get by the cone/defender, make sure you change your speed. You can approach the
move a bit slower if you then explode past it for five yards. Change of speed on the dribble is
key to getting by a defender in a match.

65
 Cone Line to Zig Zag to Speed Dribble

Note:
Black Line: Dribble Out
Red Line: Dribble Back

Set-Up
• 9 Cones
• First 4 Cones: Cone Line each 1 Yard Apart
• Second 4 Cones: Zig Zag Course 10-15 Yards in Length

Instructions

• Dribble between the cone line, to the zig zag, and around the end cone
• After circling the last cone, speed dribble all the way back to the beginning

Coaching Points
• All of the variations for this drill should be familiar, so challenge yourself to get through the
course quickly.

66
 Cone Weave to Move and Return

Note:
Black Line: Dribble Path

• 10 Cones
• Cones are set up horizontally in a 4-2-4 pattern
• 5 Yards between each line of cones. 1 Yard between each cone

Instructions
• Start on either side of the first line of 4 cones
• Dribble through the first cone line and toward the middle two cones
• Make a move at the middle two cones toward the last line of 4 cones
• Go straight into a cone weave between the last line of 4 cones
• When you exit the last line, speed dribble back to the first line of cones. You should finish
on the same side that you started on
• Alternate the side you start on each set

Coaching Points

• Feel free to change and experiment with different variations going through the cone line
and different moves and the middle cones in this drill.
67
 Cone Weave to Move 2x

Note:
Black Line: Dribble Path

Set-Up
• 12 Cones
• Cones are set up horizontally in a 4-2-4-2 pattern

• Accelerate into the space for 5-10 Yards
• Alternate the side you start on each set

Coaching Points
• This is a progression from the Cone Weave to Move and Return Drill. The same advice
applies from that drill in that you should experiment with different cone weave and 1v1
variations.

68
 Diamond Dribbling

Note:
Black Line: Dribble Path

Cone A

Cone B
Cone C Cone E

Cone D

• ***Switch sides each set. Alternate going from Cone B to Cone C or E initially
• Use a timer if possible to record your best time!

Coaching Points
• Effort in this drill should be maximal, so it is okay if you need slightly more recovery time in
between reps.
• This is a great test of your body control and ability to accelerate and decelerate with the ball.
• If you do not have a timer it is no problem, but it is a great tool to have as it will give you
feedback on your speed for each rep!
69
 Full Turn, Cone Line, Move

Note:
Black Line: Dribble Path

Set-Up
• 10-14 Cones
• First 4 Cones or 2 Lines: 5x5 Yard box

• Accelerate at the defender and perform a dribble move in either direction
• Accelerate for 5-10 Yards after your move
• Alternate the side you dribble toward each set

Coaching Points

• Accelerate aggressively after coming out of the Cone Line. This builds the habit of taking
your space quickly after getting out of a tight situation on the field.
• There should be another change of speed after your move at the last defender.
70
 Air Control Turn, Tight Zig Zag Move

Note:
Black Line: Dribble Path

Set-Up
• 7-10 Cones
• 2 Cones or 1 Starting Line
• 6 Cones in a Zig-Zag Formation 5 Yards from the starting line. Cones should be
half a yard apart.

Instructions
• Begin at the starting line facing away from the course
• Juggle the ball high in the air
• Control the ball on the turn and begin dribbling toward the Zig Zag
• Dribble through the Zig Zag and out toward the defender
• Make a move to dribble by the last defender and accelerate for 5-10 Yards

Coaching Points
• This Zig Zag is a more compact set up with more changes of direction that the Zig Zag
dribbling drill. It is a real test of how well you can manipulate the ball side to side under
control.

should feel comfortable enough to push the pace with them in this drill.
• Your 1v1 move has to give you separation from the defender, either pushing it
by into the space or giving yourself and angle to get your shot off.

• Alternate going right and left each set

Coaching Points

• This is one of the initial basic shooting variations in this program. All variables
have been removed other than having one defender in front of you. Because of
that, the expectation is that you'll try to do this action as close to game speed as
possible. Even an exercise this basic can be made game like if you push yourself
each rep

Instructions
• Start with the ball next to the defender facing away from goal toward the top cone
• Perform a loop dribble around the top cone back toward the defender
• Perform a move going either side of the defender and shoot
• Alternate going left and right each set.

Coaching Points

• The main difference between this exercise and the Speed Dribble to shot is you
have less of a run up to perform your move. You won't always have 10-15 yards of
space to set up and time a 1v1 move as you approach the defender, so this drill
narrows the space of that. It may not seem like a massive difference in the videos
but it is something you will notice when performing the exercises.

• One ‘defender’ on top of the penalty box in a central position
• Phone timer or stop-watch

Instructions
• Start outside the field of cones
• For 10 seconds, freestyle dribble between the cones in the field.
• Use a stopwatch or phone timer to time the set. Go by feel if you do not have one
• Keep close control and try not to hit any of the cones
• After 10 seconds, attack the defender with a move and shoot.
• Alternate going right and left each rep

Coaching Points
• This is a progression of the cone landmine dribbling drills where we add in some
end product. Just because there is now a shot involved, don't let your focus drop
on the dribbling. Make sure you keep control for the full 10 seconds before
finding the space and getting towards goal.
• The moment that timer sounds after 10 seconds is the key to this drill. The
transition from the landmine field to goal needs to be as sharp as possible.

• The initial check away in this drill is very important. There should be a change in
speed from when you make your counter-move from the back cone to in front of the
defender. The purpose of this is to simulate receiving a pass from one of your
teammates in a game.
• Ideally you can perform the turn in one touch. You will not have time to take
multiple touches on the half turn in this area of the field most times.

White Spots: Shot Locations

Set-Up
• 5-7 Cones
• One 5x5 Yard Box on top of the penalty box in a central position
• One 'defender' on the edge of the 5x5 Box closest to goal

Instructions
• Begin standing in front of the defender on the edge of the box closest to
goal, facing away from the goal

• This drill is taking multiple elements from earlier shooting drills. You must have a
clean first touch out of the air, tight dribbling control, a good 1v1 move, and a good
finish all in one set. Being able to repeat these skills consistently every set is a very
positive sign.
