This practice develops our players speed, endurance and game ability. We have 4 players ( 2 pairs ) sprinting around the cones racing to be the 1st to enter the game zone and start with possession. Players will play 2 v 2 until a goal is scored or the ball goes out of play. If the next 4 players arrive to the game zone and the ball is still in play, we progress to play  4 v 4 adding a new dynamic for our players to work through. Let's put in the work in Pre-Season! 💪🔥

It's time to develop players' speed, agility and quickness in this pre-season practice. In this circuit, we have added game elements such as crossing and finishing to enhance players game feel while also increasing their overall fitness levels. We will work one side to start, with the next two players starting soon after keeping a good flow and intensity to the practice. Ensure players are playing well weighted passes out wide and attacking the deliveries at pace. 💪

This pre-season practice has two zones to focus on different skills. In Zone 1, we'll work on maintaining possession under pressure and Zone 2 will have a circuit to enhance agility and speed. Here's the setup: We have 4 teams of 3 players each, with two teams in each zone. The goal is to maintain a high-intensity level for 3-4 minutes before switching zones. This way, players get to experience both ball work and off-the-ball movements. Remember, putting in the effort during pre-season will pay off later on! 🤝

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! 🫡

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! 🏆 ⚽️

🔥 Developing the Counter Attack | 16-P9

Let's take a look at how to develop quick counter attacks and defensive recovery runs. There are two phases of play to this practice. The first phase involves a quick 2 player attack to finish past the goalkeeper. The second phase of this practice starts as soon as the first ends, with the coach playing the ball to the goalkeeper to trigger the counter attack. Speed of play, decision-making and quality on the ball are key to getting the most out of this practice! 💪⚽️

⚽️🔥 Passing & Dribbling Activation | WU-30

It's time to activate your players passing and dribbling in this warmup practice. Working in pairs, players will play one touch passes between the poles before passing across to the next pair to start their run through the circuit. We will progress this to get our players dribbling between the poles individually, ensuring they are ready for the session ahead.💪⚽️

It’s time to develop quality in possession, penetration, and switching the point of attack in this small sided game. We start with a 3 v 3 possession game in the central zone, while each end zone has a striker and a defender. The objective is for the central players to complete 4 passes and make a penetrating pass into either end zone for the strikers to finish. We've also added a progression that will help develop your teams support play for your lone striker! 💪

This physical based practice focuses on developing sprint speed, heading ability and 1 v 1 games. The action kicks off with the first two players sprinting around the two poles and back. Then, they dash around the poles again, but this time, they set off towards the diagonal goal. From the sideline, their teammate throws a ball into the air for them to perform a diving header to finish. Both players react quickly to sprint towards the center of the area where you pass a ball inside for them battle it out in a 1 v 1 scenario, aiming to finish. Sprint speed, precision, and competitive spirit are the order of the day! ⚽️ 🔥
