So to give an example of practice planning
6:30 -6:40 warmup
6:40 - 7:00 Safe contact/safe tackling
7:00 - 7:35 - Indy positions
IE running backs
run to the hole
ball tackling
pass protect
7:45 - 8:00 - insertion
8:00 - 8:20 - scrimmage
8:20 - 8:30 special teams
8:30 cooldown
I would assume that with soccer the indy time or skills time would be way more prevalent wouldn't it?

First of all, holy crap are your practices long. 2 hours? We were lucky to get one hour so I'd tend to have the kids show up early so we get the warmups out of the way before we started our field time.
Individual skills werent as important because positions in soccer arent nearly as regimented as they are in Football especially at younger age groups.
Sometimes a kid gets hurt and you have someone totally unexpected playing in net or defence or as a striker.
Its less about learning your position and more about learning the flow of the game, that is until you get to higher age/skill levels and then its a different story because the goals are different.
