For this week, we have prepared a drill that can be used during training sessions to improve football-specific physical conditioning.
Equipment required:
- mini-hurdles, one speed ladder, hoops, poles, one goal, multiple balls.
Number of players:
- the full squad.
Drill description:
The equipment is set up as shown in the diagram, with the balls in possession of Player B.
-
Player A performs jumps over the mini-hurdles (I), receives the ball from Player B, and finishes with a shot on goal (1–2).
-
Player A executes variations of footwork exercises on the speed ladder (II), receives the ball from Player B, and finishes with a shot on goal (3–4).
-
Player A performs a sprint slalom through the poles (III), receives the ball from Player B, and finishes with a shot on goal (5–6).
-
Player A performs alternate single-leg jumps (left–right) inside the hoops (IV), receives the ball from Player B, and finishes with a shot on goal (7–8).
After completing the sequence, Player A moves into Player B’s position (V) and becomes the passer for the next Player A, while Player B rotates to the back of the A line.
The drill is performed in two sets, with a 4-minute rest between sets.
