Soccer is a game that involves lots of ball control and quick running bursts. Changes of pace and direction are key in soccer. Being stronger helps you accelerate and decelerate, but you must train agility as well.

Power Bands are great for soccer because they improve your agility and acceleration by increasing demands of any movement you perform. Acceleration is more important than increasing top speed because you don’t reach top speed until around 50M.

You can perform some power band drills before your resistance training session or during training. During training you can wrap the band around the goal posts or a partner.

Partner drills are great for teams because they build team work and you can have any number or drills going at any one time.
