🔥Pre-Season 85: SAQ Circuit and Finishing!

Get your players ready for the season with this engaging SAQ circuit that focuses on passing and finishing. We set up by dividing the area into three zones: the central zone for agility exercises and the two outer zones for passing and finishing. Players will move through the circuit performing the agility exercises, combining together and finishing on one touch. Start with one side and, once players are comfortable, progress to working both sides simultaneously for added intensity and coordination. 💪⚽️

🎉 Pre-Season 84: Passing, Receiving and Speed Endurance

This pre-season is designed to enhance passing, receiving, and endurance! Players will engage in a high-intensity drill that begins with a sprint forward to receive the ball from the opposite side, followed by a quick turn and pass back. The initial passer then sprints to the central area to receive the return pass, continuing the sequence from the opposite side. This practice not only sharpens fundamental skills but also builds the stamina needed for peak performance. Get your players ready for the season ahead with this effective practice. 🔥⚽️

Pre-Season 24-25 Begins!🎉

Hi all! If anyone has any pre-season practice requests, ideas, or want's to discuss anything with fellow coaches please feel free to comment below! We have all new Pre-Season practices coming your way from Monday.🔥 Let's prepare our teams well for the upcoming season! 

It's time to work on your players overall fitness and defensive work in this high press rondo practice! Working in teams of two, players will move through the SAQ station into a 5 v 2 Rondo where they must work together at a high intensity to win possession or force a mistake from the possession team. The players will then split and sprint out to the smaller 3 v 1 Rondo's on either side and press to win possession. Defenders must work as a unit to win possession and react quickly to sprint out after possession is won! 🫡

It's time to develop players overall fitness in this 2 v 2 game competition. The area is split into three zones ( Premier League, Championship and League 1) with two teams competing in 3 minute long games to win their division. At the end of the game, the winning team will go up a division and the losing team will drop down a division. The team that wins the most games in the premier league are the overall winners! 🏆 ⚽️

It's time to work on a hugely important aspect of the game: Speed and Endurance. In this pre-season practice, two players will race against each other through the circuit with the objective to maintain their intensity and enter the game area first. The first player inside the area starts with the ball in the 1 v 1 game and must look to use individual skill to beat the defender and finish in the mini goal. Teams must keep a tally of each time they finish and after 3 rounds we can see which team are the winners! 🤝

This pre-season practice focuses on players passing combinations, SAQ and ability to switch play. Split into two areas that run simultaneously, players will work through the various stations and will end the sequence with a winger delivering for two attackers in the box. After the attack finishes, players will move through the agility stations on the side of the area. Ensure players work at a high intensity throughout this practice, using the time at different stations to recover for their next attack. Time movements, deliver passes & crosses with quality and be clinical with finishing! 💪

Hi all! Let us know how you have been getting on with your pre-season training plan. Tell fellow coaches what has been effective, what hasn't, or share any practices you and your players have found useful. Don't be afraid to let us know if you have any specific content requests or if you have any questions about published practices 🤝

This Pre-Season practice is a pattern of play developing central combinations and playing into wide areas to deliver into the box. Players will then sprint to go through the agility circuits on either side of the area. Ensure players are working through the practice at a high intensity but keeping the flow and quality at a high level throughout! 🫡

This pre-season practice is a team relay race that has players dribbling through cones, sprinting, passing and moving through various agility stations. The first team to have all players back at the 1st station wins the race! With the added element of competition, this will increase the intensity and speed that the players will go through the circuit which in turn will increase their overall fitness levels. 💪
