Overall coaching guidance (3Ls)

LAND Softly: Land quietly like a ninja, not with a loudthud. This teaches the body to absorb impact safely. Land on the balls of thefeet, then let the heels touch down as you bend your knees.

LOW Centre of Gravity: Encourage them to bend their kneesand hips on landing, getting into a strong, athletic "ready"position.

LIGHT Feet: Spend as little time on the ground as possiblebetween jumps. Think "the floor is lava!" 

Phase 1: Pulse Raiser (2 Minutes) 

30 secs: Light Jogging around the area.

30 secs: High Knees (focus on arm drive).

30 secs: Butt Kicks (focus on stretching the quads).

30 secs: Arm Circles (forward and backward).


Phase 2: Plyometric Circuit (7 Minutes)

1.      Pogo Jumps - With feet together, perform small, quick jumps on the spot. Keep legs relatively straight and bounce off the balls of your feet.

2.      Line Hops (Side-to-Side) - Stand with both feet on one side of a line or cone. Hop sideways back and forth over the line as quickly as possible.

3.      Broad Jumps (Stick the Landing) - Start in a squat position. Explode forward, jumping for distance. Land softly in a squat and hold the landing for 2-3 seconds before resetting.

4.      Skater Jumps - Leap sideways from your right leg to your left. As you land on your left foot, swing your right leg behind you for balance. Immediately leap back to the right.

5.      Tuck Jumps - Jump vertically and try to bring your knees up towards your chest. Land softly, bending the knees to absorb the impact.

6.      Scissor Jumps - Start in a shallow lunge position. Jump up and switch the position of your feet in mid-air, landing with the opposite foot forward.

7.      Single-Leg Cone Weave - Set up 4-5 cones in a straight line. Hopping on one leg, weave in and out of the cones. Go down on the right leg, and come back on the left leg (or switch halfway).

Phase 3: Final Prep & Cool Down (1 Minute)

30 secs: Light "fast feet" on the spot.

30 secs: Shake out legs, have a quick drink, and get readyfor the main session.

2 - The Wave

  • 2 pitches, 1 for Reds, 1 for Blacks
  • Setup in Goal Kick formation 2-3-1 (ensure wingers are on the line)
  • Unopposed (initially), every player has to touch the ball before the ball is played into the coach at the far end
  • When coach receives the ball, the striker and 3 mids create a 4 v 2 overload going back to the goal they've just come from and try to score
  • Repeat and encourage it done be done faster and higher quality each time
  • Once they have the hang of movement and patterns of play coach and/or drop a player and they press the goal kick phase
  • Then bring Reds and blacks together to provide opposition to each other
Coaching points
  • Shuffling based on ball position (if ball goes to right, whole team shuffles)
  • Wingers holding width initially but then gambling narrow when time is right
  • Centre back first touch to let ball go across body to enable them to play one of 3 passes (back to GK, to winger or to centre mid)
  • Centre mid movement - constantly looking for the ball, creating angles, never stop
  • Striker movement to be moving across the line based on ball position
