Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Pre-Season Conditioning (Start Time: 2019-07-29 17:30:00)

Aerobic Conditioning (20 mins)

8 Players (4 training, 4 resting)

Activity 1: Explosive movements specific to position (top right) Player sprints to 1st cone (10m),

recovers quickly back to 2nd cone (5m), sprints to 3rd cone (3m), back to 2nd cone (3m) and sprints

to end cone (5m) and jogs back.

Activity 2: Weight & accuracy of pass followed by support (bottom right). Player passes to any of the

4 cones and sprints to retrieve ball. Ideally player and ball arrive at cone at same time. Player dribbles

ball back and passes to next cone. Cone distances, 15m, 5m, 20m & 10m.

Activity 3: Dribbling with ball under control - Player dribbles in and out of cones using one foot (inside

and out) on way to end cone, and other foot on way back as quickly as possible. Player then dribbles

ball to next cone. (10m long, 1m apart)

Activity 4: Running with the ball at speed - Player runs with the ball to end cone (20m), turns and

runs back in as little amount of touches possible, then keeps the ball up to the next cone.

Dribbling and Speed Endurance in a Technical Circuit (20 mins)

Develop players speed and endurance capacity, repeated high intensity effort capability and conditioning.

Mark out a central square 30 x 30. Place starting cone 10 yards from each corner.

4 players start at the same time by dribbling the ball to the mannequin (leaving the ball there) then accelerate around the polein the middle to the next mannequin on the right. They pass the ball that has been left to the last player in the waiting group. Then join the back of that group.
