Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): U16s, Week 29, Session 1, Strength Speed

U16s, Week 29, Session 1, Strength Speed

Grid size 20x20m

Learning Outcomes

Strength speed progression from previous week- Rate of Force Devlopment

Must be maximal effort, emphasis on tripple extention from ankles, knees and hips.

Ensure players have a long contact time between jumps to ensure that there is correct joint alignment.

Challenge

1. Passing drill 3x30seconds, players pass around the grid 30 seconds then perform 1 set of dynamics in rest period. players then pass diagonally for 3x30 seconds performing dynamics in rest period again (squat lunge matrix in rest period).

Dynamics - Jockey, walkouts, open/close gate, kick throughs, high knees, heels to bum, low skips.

Straight Crawls, Supermans, hopping

2. landing joint alignment 2-2, 2-1, 1-1, 1-1 (same leg)

3. 2 footed jumps 4x6 (1:10) - Must be maximal effort, re-enforce long contact time but rapid triple extension.

Progress onto single leg jumps again 2x6 (1.10).
