🔥 Pre-Season 95: Endurance Runs and Small Sided Games

This pre-season practice is designed to elevate speed endurance and sharpen 3 v 3 gameplay. Players are divided into two teams, each starting in opposite corners of the field and further split into groups of three. On the coach's whistle, two teams of three begin their endurance runs: sprinting at 85% speed along the widths and at 50% speed across. After completing their runs, they enter the game zone for an intense 3 v 3 match. Once a goal is scored or the ball exits play, the players leave the area to recover, triggering the next two groups to start their endurance runs. This dynamic session keeps players engaged and pushes their limits in both fitness and tactical play! 💪⚽️

⚽️ Pre-Season 96: Speed Endurance & Games

This pre-season practice is designed to boost your team's speed endurance and small-sided gameplay. Players are divided into two teams, each starting in opposite corners of the field.

The session begins with endurance runs, following specific speed intervals: 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% along designated sides of the area. On the coach's call, a 7 v 7 game is triggered with a ball fed randomly to one team. After two balls have been used (resetting after a goal or when the ball exits play), players get a recovery period before starting their next run.

This engaging and dynamic practice not only enhances endurance but also sharpens tactical awareness and teamwork! 🙌⚽️

🔥 Pre-Season 94: Sprints, Recovery Runs and 2 v 2's

This pre-season practice develops sprint speed and 2 v 2 game skills, designed to sharpen both physical and tactical abilities. Players are divided into two pairs: attackers and defenders. On the coach's call, both pairs sprint forward—the attackers racing towards the ball and the defenders chasing them down.

As soon as they enter the game zone, a 2 v 2 attack is triggered. The attackers must make at least one pass before finishing, while defenders can counter-attack and score past the goalkeeper if they win possession.

After the attack ends, all players sprint to the corner cones and return to the starting position. Roles are swapped in the next round, ensuring a dynamic and challenging session that sharpens speed, teamwork, and game tactics.

⚽️ Pre-Season 93: Agility, Passing and Finishing Circuit

This pre-season practice is designed to develop your players' agility, passing, and dribbling to finish.

Players will navigate through the circuit, moving through agility ladders and hurdles to enhance quick footwork and speed. They will then engage in precise passing and receiving drills to sharpen their ball control and accuracy. The circuit culminates with the striker executing a show-and-go move, dribbling around a pole, and finishing with a shot past the goalkeeper.

This dynamic session ensures players stay energised, focused, and ready for the challenges of the new season.🔥⚽️

🔥 Pre-Season 92: SAQ Races & Small Sided Games

This pre-season practice is designed to enhance Speed, Agility, Quickness (SAQ), endurance, and small-sided gameplay.

One player from each team will race against each other through the circuit. After the agility drills, players race into the game zone, with the first player to arrive receiving the ball and engaging in a 1 v 1 game. The match continues until a goal is scored or the ball goes out of play. As more players reach the zone, the game evolves into 2 v 2, 3 v 3, 4 v 4, and eventually a 5 v 5 game.

This dynamic practice not only boosts physical fitness but also sharpens competitive edge and team coordination, perfect for getting your squad ready for the season ahead! 🔥⚽️

🎉 Pre-Season 91: Possession, Agility and Endurance

This pre-season practice is designed to boost possession skills, agility, and endurance. The session is divided into three main areas:

1. 6 V 2 Possession Game: Focus on maintaining control and strategic passing.

2. Outside Agility Circuit: Enhance quickness and coordination.

3. Goalkeeper Exercises: Improve shot-stopping and reaction times.

Players will work for 90 seconds in each area before switching roles, with a 30-60 second rest in between. In the possession game, the goal is for the team to complete 10 passes, allowing 2 players to break out and finish past the goalkeeper, while 1 defender attempts to recover. If the defenders win possession, they aim to score in any mini goal. After every 90-second set, defenders switch out with players in the agility circuit. After three sets, teams rotate roles, ensuring a comprehensive workout for everyone. This practice promises a high-energy, engaging session that will sharpen your team's skills and stamina!

🔥 Pre-Season 90: Speed Endurance and 3 V 3 Game

This pre-season practice is all about building speed endurance and developing attack versus defence skills when fatigued.

We start with two players sprinting across to the opposite corner, then touching each diagonal cone. Once they reach the last cone, they tag in their teammates, who enter the field for a 3 v 3 game.

The first team tagged in starts with the ball, attacking the goal, while the other team aims for the two mini goals. After three attacks, both teams exit, and the next pair from the opposite corner begins their sprints.

This drill not only boosts endurance but also sharpens strategic play under pressure. Get ready for a high-energy pre-season practice! 🔥⚽️

🔥⚽️ Pre-Season 89: SAQ, Crossing and Finishing

This pre-season practice is designed to enhance agility, speed, and finishing skills.

By incorporating speed work, agility and power drills with crossing and finishing, you can use this at any point during the pre season period to drive your players. 

🔥 Pre-Season 88: Agility and Speed Circuit

This pre-season practice is designed to boost agility, dribbling, and speed. Two players work simultaneously, one from each station. Players will dribble with the ball and work through the agility exercises before tagging in a teammate. We have added two progressions to test different technical aspects and increase the workload on players in this circuit. This drill ensures high-intensity training, developing quick transitions and sharp skills.

⚽️ Pre-Season 87: Sprints, Turns and Dribbling

This pre-season practice is designed to elevate your speed, turns, and dribbling skills with an engaging circuit setup. The working players will sprint out to a cone, returns to the central cone, then sprints to another cone before sprinting back to collect the ball. They repeat this sequence while dribbling the ball. Once they complete the circuit, they leave the ball at the central cone and tag in the next player to begin their run. This dynamic and challenging practice not only enhances physical fitness but also sharpens technical skills, ensuring players are ready for the season ahead.
