More than almost any other sport, soccer is a very demanding sport in terms of physical fitness and endurance, and these demands can affect players in different ways. Some players may start the season in great shape, while others may start out slowly and only get into shape after a few weeks' time.
Others may start out fast yet burn out quickly, getting worn out by the fitness demands. Generally speaking, though, being fit makes playing all ninety minutes of soccer easier, but with all that is done in soccer practice, it is best for the players to be accountable for their own fitness.
All soccer programs need to include endurance and aerobic training, due to the physical fitness demands of the sport, and due to the fact that soccer players hardly have time to rest between sprints.
Soccer players are required to change speeds from time to time while going up against opponents, and with an enhanced aerobic capacity, that would allow them to improve their speed and ability to change speeds during the game. The running involved in this aspect of training can also greatly improve blood circulation and develop strong bones.
However, running for the sake of running is not advisable for your soccer practice. Since you should use soccer practice as a means to improve technique, any running should be done with a ball. Young players generally do not like running or exercising if it's not part of soccer drills, and find simple runs across the field with a soccer ball to be repetitive. Said runs across the field should be done in moderation to keep your players' interest in the game and improving their technique.
It is also not too advisable to dwell too much on talking conditioning during pre-game huddles. With the limited time you have to discuss other aspects of the game, any talk on conditioning should be limited on discussing proper running techniques, and stressing that this is something to be done after soccer hours - something players can do during their own free time.
Since your players would be doing enough running during the soccer season, avoid giving them long runs during their aerobic training. Older players can do off-season running about thirty minutes, three times a week, in order to build and improve their aerobic foundation.
Most players with higher aspirations in the field of soccer already have their own training schedules outside of the game in order to help them build endurance and conditioning. That said, in coaching youth soccer, it is important to devote soccer practice to teaching soccer, and let the running be something best done during a player's free time.
