Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): U16, Week 15, Session 1, Landing Mechanics

Landing Mechanics & Agility

1. Players jog out and on comand they jump into a squat position and hold for 3 seconds (5 reps).

2. Players start on one leg and bound onto their opposite leg back onto their original starting leg and stick the landing and hold for 3 seconds (3 sets x 4 Reps on both legs).

3.The progression from the above exercise is that once players have held for 3 seconds on command players sprint out to the end cone.

4.In pairs player 1 has his hand on player 2's chest, player 2 has to move laterally, backwards & forwards to try and loose player 1's hand from his chest (3x20sec each player.)

5. In pairs players start on the middle cone, player 1 has to mirror players 2's lateral movements (3x20sec each player).
