  • Soccer is a game of many elements including strength, coordination, discipline, communication and speed. The ability to utilize explosive speed on the soccer field sets the best teams apart from everyone else.
  • An alternate start is a sprinting drill that requires you to run 10 to 20 yards at a time. It is designed to improve your explosive speed from different positions and actions that more closely mimic a soccer game.
  • A speed ladder is a piece of training equipment that you lay on the ground and run through to develop foot speed and coordination. The ladder is laid out over a short distance and consists of small squares that you must step in on each stride.

  • Adding resistance to your sprints helps build takeoff power in your legs for explosive speed down the field. You can add resistance by sprinting up a hill of about 30 degrees, or by using speed parachutes that follow behind you as you run. Parachutes are effective, but not always practical if you are training as a team.
  • Building speed for the defensive part of soccer is just as important as speed for offense. Practice sprinting backwards for short distances, using quick turns and crossovers along the way. This drill simulates an offensive player trying to dribble past you and will help you keep up during a game.

power speed strength plyometrics accelaration stretching explosive exercises

  • Training for speed seems straightforward; perform your activity or sport over and over working to get faster. Training for speed requires the ability to accelerate fast from a standing position or a slow jog, according to Derek Hansen, CSCS of SPS Athletic Training Group.
  • Generating speed requires nerve and impulse control and strength in your muscles. Speed requires a high output of energy and strength.
  • Hansen recommends only training for short times because you can tax your nervous system to exhaustion quickly. Recommended training intervals shouldn't be more than 300 meters for team sports, such as football, soccer, basketball, lacrosse and track and field events.

  • Plyometrics is a protocol used to develop strength, speed and power for various types of sports.
  • Plyometrics require your muscles to contract while overcoming a lengthening phase and producing maximum strength in the shortest amount of time. According to Denis Knowles of Coachr.org, the faster a muscle is stretched, the greater the power output during the contraction phase of the muscle.
  • Hansen states that to perform faster and with greater strength and speed, stretching helps to elongate your stride or ability to move.
  • Stretching should concentrate on elongating your muscle overall and focus specifically on the sport you engage in. This is for two purposes: passive stretching elongates your muscles and helps them warm up and also cool down from everyday activities and training.
  • Second, dynamic stretching related to your sport works on the elastic properties of your muscles and connective tissues.
  • Dynamic stretching works on your nervous system that coordinates movement, power and strength so you can produce more power, strength and speed.
