when we get together for insertion, I usually try to have things pre printed based around the 10 plays I want to work on that week, that way I can either map using a white board. During early camp I'm usually inserting 5 plays (each side) a day, so in about 30 minutes we have time to walk it through and run it though.

During scrimmage I can only run plays that I've run though with them, but we try to run an up tempo scrimmage with the plays that we've run before or taught today.

On scrimmage during the season we split it by days. There are offense days where we get the defense to run scout, and vice versa.
Right, but Football and Soccer are very different.

Soccer doesnt get to stop every few seconds so you have to teach the kids to think on their feet, read a play and adapt.

You dont have to opportunity to basically say: "Okay, that didnt work, now lets try 3 more times."

So when it comes to soccer it requires more fluidity, the running of a drill is to teach a skill, whether its touch, shot, tackling or decision-making and you have to rotate between them and the best drill incorporate two or more of these into a kind of game.
