Play soccer on the regular, but I'm getting to the point that a little weight training could benefit.

Good suggestions...I would keep the weights moderate and the reps fairly high, being that you are attempting a more "sports-specific" type of training.
Hit shoulders light today to keep my lower back from tightening up prior to my game tonight.
Seated Military Press - 6 sets of 20 at 135 lbs.
Smith machine Press - 4 sets of 10 at 225
That's it....got the blood flowing, back feels better, so I am happy. I will throw trap work in with my workout tomorrow.
