Just because it's summer doesn't mean players stop working on their soccer skills! Here are some suggestions for ways to continuously improve:

The World Cup runs from June 14 - July 15! Select a favorite player or two to follow and study how that player moves and plays throughout at least one entire match. This will help you develop a stronger notion of where to position themselves during various times of the game, how many touches to use under certain scenarios (pressured or not pressured), and ideas for foot-skills to incorporate in their everyday play in the future.
Try to get at least 50 touches on a soccer ball every day.
Sign up for an AYSO Summer Soccer Camp!
Work on shielding (protecting) the ball & then using your vision to pass it forwards, to the side or backwards. You can practice this with a friend or even your pet dog if they like to chase the ball. Try to keep it away from them while dribbling it within a small area.
Set up your own obstacle course! Develop speed and stamina dribbling through in a zig-zag fashion.
Play “Crossbar Challenge” with friends & use chipping techniques to hit the crossbar as many times as you can.
Practice shooting with your weaker foot. This will help you develop strength and accuracy in it. See how many times in a row you can kick a ball off a wall without missing.
