Yoga and soccer are a winning combination
I encourage all players who strive to play at high levels to practice yoga techniques when weather makes it difficult to train outdoors. Doing a few of the exercises shown on this link can help a soccer player in a variety of ways, both mentally and physically:

The idea with these positions is to hold them while calmly counting to fifteen. It is important to take deep easy breaths while doing this. Players often feel energized after completing these 12 positions on a daily basis. I encourage parents to take a few minutes a day and do this with the players. It should make for some good laughs and some good exercise as well.
