Organisation
Set-up a speed circuit on each side of the pitch. Use an age-appropriate circuit size. Have a speed ladder or evenly spaced markers, a small gap, a diamond of tall cones or markers, and then another slightly longer gap to a final tall cone. On each half, add two small goals and a single ball.
Split teams evenly across the pitch so each half has two teams.
Players compete 1v1. On the coaches whistle/shout a player from each team runs through the speed circuit and then races to the ball. Once on the pitch the players are 1v1 and play until either a player scores or the ball goes out of play.
The speed circuit is:
- Both feet between each rung/gap
- Short sprint
- Touch all five tall cones
- Long sprint to the ball
Coaching Points
The emphasis is on high-speed and high-quality during the players active session so the work:rest ratio is about 1:4.
Strong fundamentals - good running technique/form.
Quality on the ball.
Intensity/work ethic - want to win.
Progression
You can change the movements through the speed circuit to work on different aspects of SAQ (speed, agility, quickness).
