Why Soccer is Good Exercise


I have played soccer on a team for 7 years with my dad as coach and my brother on the team as well. I love playing soccer and believe it is a great way to exercise. You run almost the whole game and you have to stay alert in case you might get the ball passed to you.

There are also some exercises you can do to warm up before a game. One of them is the exercise shown in the image above. You set up cones spaced out a little and you simply dribble the ball in and out of the cones. Another exercise you can do that my team does a lot is where you have a coach roll a ball on one side of the field to you on the other side of the field. The objective as a player is too kick the rolling ball into the net with one hit of the ball. One last exercise you can do is get your team in a kinda small circle. You are supposed to kick the ball to random people on the team and keep it in the circle. Just a simple passing drill that will work wonders.
