Ladder Drills

• According to the soccer website mastersoccer.net, one of the most essential indoor training routines for soccer is the ladder drill. Setting up a ladder on the ground and using materials such as duct or masking tape, the player moves up and down the rungs, completing a variety of foot movements. Popular techniques used to complete the agility ladder include bunny hops, sidesteps and stutter steps. These motions are crucial for indoor play because of all the quick stops and starts rather than the long strides of the outdoor game.
  
  

Snake Drill

• Indoor soccer is played on a much smaller pitch than the traditional game. Therefore, the most important skills are not endurance, but lightning-quick foot movements and effective ball movement, according to the training site soccer-training-info.com. The snake drill is practiced by setting up several cones in a straight line with a 2-foot gap between. While dribbling the ball, the player weaves between the cones as fast as possible to the end, at which point he must turn around and repeat the process back to the starting point.
  
  

Box Drill

• Many soccer drills involve dribbling skills, endurance training and agility. The box drill, according to Sport-fitness-advisor, improves balance, body control, foot speed and coordination. Setting up four cones in the shape of a box, a player starts at the first cone, sprints to the second, sidesteps his way to the third, backpedals to the fourth and finally sprints back to the first. The speed of indoor soccer and the quick directional changes make the footwork tested in the box drill essential.
  
  

Follow The Leader

• When using the "follow the leader" drill, the person chosen as the leader runs sporadically, without a soccer ball, changing direction at any time, in any direction. The follower attempts to mirror the leader's motions while maintaining a distance of 2 yards between them. It is vital in this exercise to have a training partner. The emphasis on random and quick movements works to simulate actions that are commonly seen in indoor soccer.
  
  

Shadow Dribbling

• To practice this drill, player one dribbles the ball around the indoor field while player 2 follows and makes mock attempts to steal the ball. Player 2 never actually tries to get the ball from player 1, it is merely an exercise to practice ball control with pressure on player 1. Shadow dribbling also requires the use of a training partner to gain full advantage of the exercise. The drill is effective for indoor soccer because of its focus on dribbling in small spaces.
