๐Ÿ”ฅ 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! ๐Ÿ”ฅโšฝ๏ธ

๐ŸŽ‰ 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!

๐Ÿ”ฅ 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! ๐Ÿ”ฅโšฝ๏ธ

I have a question about the full season plans. My question is as follows as Iโ€™m looking at the season plans. They are divided in to blocks, week 1, 2 and 3 with practice 1,2 and 3. Whatโ€™s the duration of each practice? Also I have practice with my boys 3 days a week for 90 mins. How do these plans fit into 90 min sessions.

๐Ÿ”ฅ 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.

โšฝ๏ธ 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.
