Organization:


Obstacle RelayEquipment: cones, low boxes / hurdlesOne or more straight line obstacle courses up to 40 meters/yards in lengthshould be set up (see diagram below).The group is organized into two or more single files of up to 10 players.On the coach’s command the first player in each line must complete theobstacle course and return to the back of their line.The next player in line cannot go until they touch hands with the returningplayer.Keep the course simple with obstacles low enough that players can run overthem. Players should not leap or hop over obstacles. The aim of this drill is topromote quick foot speed and co-ordination of steps between obstacles.

CirclesThe group is organized into circles of up to 10 players.Each player is given a number.The coach shouts out two random numbers and the two correspondingplayers must run clockwise around the outside of their circle and back totheir original position.This drill is designed to develop both focus and reaction time.

42

Tents & CampersEquipment: cones, low boxes / hurdlesThe group is organised into pairs who then form a large circle roughly 15-20meters/yards in diameter.One of the pair stands with their feet apart (tent) and the other crouches infront of the tent (camper).The coach shouts “tents” or “campers” and the appropriate partner runsclockwise around the outside of the circle and back to the starting position.Like the drill before, this drill is designed to improve focus and reaction timebut it also adds an element of different starting positions.

Go… Stop… Go… StopThe group is spread out across a large area. The coach stands in themiddle so that all players should be at least 20-30 meters/yards away.The coach shouts “Go” and all players run towards the coach.The coach then shouts “Stop” and players must freeze on the spot.The coach continues to shout “Go” and “Stop” and the first player to reachthe coach gets to be the caller.Any player still moving after “Stop” has to sit the next call out so will fallfurther behind.This drill helps to develop both acceleration, deceleration and reaction time.Variation: use different words instead of “Go” and “Stop” or call out wordsbeginning with “G” and “S” to catch players out.

Shuffle RelayEquipment: conesThe group is organized into two or more single filesof up to 10 players with a series of cones set out infront of them (see diagram right).On the coach’s command the first player in linemust run to the first cone, side-step to the right thenback to the left facing the same way before runningto the next cone.The player then turns and repeats the course in theOpposite direction.The next player in line cannot go until they touchhands with the returning player.The returning player goes to the back of the line.

43

Alternating Stride LengthEquipment: conesSet up a series of cones in a straight line.The first 10 cones should be about 1 meter/yard apart.The next 10 should be 2 meters/yards apart.From standing start players sprint the total length of the cones taking onestep between each marker.The cones close together will encourage faster, shorter strides.Players should walk slowly back to the start to recover.

Speedy FeetEquipment: cones, soccer ballsSplit the group into pairs. Each pair has three soccer balls.One ball is placed in front of the working player, one to the left and one tothe right no more than 1 meter/yard away.The other player gives each ball a name or number and calls out a series ofcommands. For example, the caller might give the command “one, three,two, one”. Alternatively, they might shout “Queen, King, King Queen, Jack”.The working player must touch the top of each ball with both feet(alternately, not jumping onto the ball) in the order of the command.The working player rests for 30 – 60 seconds and then repeats following adifferent command from the caller.

PRACTICE INFORMATION MAJOR COACHING POINT1. The defenders have to make a decisionon whether to pressure or hold and just cover.see Diagram 2 for an example of low pressuredefending.2. The first defender asks himself ‘Can I getclose and pressure while the ball is travelling tothe attacker’, If so then ‘Press’, if no then ‘holdand cover’, make play predictable and slow theplay down. Play compact.3. Curve runs and body position to force theball either inside or outside depending on teamtactics.4. Communication between the players toindicate whether to press or cover.5. Watch attackers first touch to helpindicate whether to pres or not.6. If there are opportunities to interceptand win the ball do so.7. Team shape should remain compact ifnot pressing hard.8. With low pressure, covering, get playersbehind the ball to defend and be patient.

Basic Ladder DrillEquipment: agility ladderAgility ladders are excellent for improving foot speed, co-ordination and overallquickness. They can cost anywhere from $30 for shorter ladders to over $100for more elaborate designs.An alternative is to either make your own with some white parcel string and afew soccer net pegs (make sure the pegs are pushed flush into the ground).Alternatively, you can paint a simple ladder pattern on grass with some whitewash or use white adhesive tape (masking tape). Each section of the laddershould be about 1.5 feet square and ten sections is ample.

Lateral Ladder DrillEquipment: agility ladderStart with your feet hip width apart at the bottom of the ladderJump up with both feet and land on the left foot only in the first squareImmediately push off with your left foot and land with both feet in the second squareImmediately push off with both feet and land on your right foot onlyPush off from your right foot and land on both feet.Repeat this pattern for the full length of the ladderStart with both feet outside of the first square and to the leftStep into the first square with your left foot first, immediately followed by your rightfoot... in a 1-2 motion

51

Step to the right, outside the first square again with your left foot fist, followed by yourrightNow step diagonally left into the second square, with the left foot leading alwayskeeping the same 1-2 motionNow step out to the left-hand side of the second square and repeat for the full lengthof the ladder

Follow The LeaderEquipment: conesMark out an area about 10 meters/yards by 10 meters/yards.In pairs, one player runs randomly within the marked area. The other player mustfollow maintaining no more the 2 meters/yards distance.The leader should be changing direction and pace constantly.Two or more sets of pairs can be added to the area so players must be conscious ofwhat’s around them.

Reaction Time Starting cuesYou can help to improve reaction time by varying the starting cues for any of thesedrills. For example, the coach can shout “Go” or stand behind players out of sightsignalling the start with a clap or whistle. These are auditory cues and develop differentreactions than visual cues. Alternatively, you can use a visual cue such as a lowering ofthe arm, or a kinaesthetic cue such as a tap on the shoulder. For younger players it isbest to combine both visual and auditory cues.

Squat Jumps1) Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, trunk flexed forwardslightly with back straight in a neutral position.2) Arms should be in the “ready” position with elbows flexedat approximately 90°.3) Lower body where thighs are parallel to ground.4) Explode vertically and drive arms up.5) Land on both feet and repeat.Prior to takeoff extend the ankles to their maximum range(full plantar flexion) to ensure proper mechanics.

Step Jumps1) Stand beside object to be cleared.2) Bring knees up and jump vertically butalso laterally off ground and over thebarrier.3) Land on both feet and jump the otherdirection over barrier.

Box Drill with Rings1) Stand with feet slightly wider than hip-width apart with your body facing the first ring.2) Hop forward using both feet and land in first ring.3) Now hop to the left and land in the ring to the side. Now jump backwards to land in ringbehind you. Finish by jumping to your right to land in final ring.4) Repeat according to the prescribed number of repetitions.Note: There is only one set of 4 rings (not 4 sets as in the diagram above). Thediagram above is just to illustrate the various stages.

130

Hurdle Jumps1) Stand 1-2 feet away from hurdle. Feet should be slightly wider than hip-width apart in asemi-squat position.2) Driving the arms up and jump over hurdle.3) Upon landing, quickly jump over next hurdle keeping ground contact time to a minimum.

Lateral High Hops1) Stand to left side of box (12-18” high) and place right foot on top of box.2) Push off the box using the right leg only and explode vertically as high as possible. Drivethe arms forward and up for maximum height.3) Land with opposite foot onto box. Repeat with the other foot.4) Repeat according to prescribed number of repetitions.

Bounding1) Jog into the start of the drill for forward momentum.2) After a few feet, forcefully push off with the left foot and bring the leg forward. At same timedrive your right arm forward.3) Repeat with other leg and arm4) This exercise is an exaggerated running motion focusing on foot push-off and air time.

positional theme where players are encouraged tointerchange then return to a basic shape when thetime is right. You could use a 2 -2 -1 formation alsoto allow a 2 v 1 overload at the defensive end.Coach needs to focus on the principles establishedwith the Awareness program and get the players toapply them in the S.S.G. concept.

144


1. Create space before receiving the ball.2. Body shape is crucial, should be in a

position to see as much as the field aspossible. This promotes good playersawareness

Practice Objectives : Speed and agility

- Alternating Starts- The basis of these speed drills is a 10-20 meter/yard sprint. You should focus- on accelerating as quickly as possible by powering away with your arms and- legs. At the end of the sprint have a feeder pass or throw a ball for a pass,- header or volley back. This helps players to compose themselves quickly- after an all-out sprint so they can perform the skill with finesse. This is a- frequent scenario in a game situation. Here are some ideas to alternate the- starts:- Do 1-3 push ups, squat thrusts or burpees and sprint- Start by kneeling, lying face down, sitting on your hands (which can’t be- used to get up) and sprint- Do 5 keep ups or 5 ball touches and sprint- Have some one throw or pass your the ball for you to control and lay off- and sprintRun backwards for 5yards and turn and sprint- Touch left hand down, touch right hand down, jump to head the ball and

sprintComplete a sprint and walk slowly back to the start to repeat for the desirednumber of repetitions.

Hollow Sprint with Ball- Set up five markers about 30 meters/yards apart. Place a ball at marker 2- and marker 4. Starting on marker 1, sprint to marker 2, dribble the ball to- marker 3, sprint to marker 4, dribble the ball to marker 5. Walk back to thestart replacing the balls as you do.

147

-

Hollow Sprints- Sprint for 30 meters/yards, jog for 30 meters/yards, sprint for 30meters/yards,- jog for 30meters/yards. Walk slowly back to the start and repeat.

Downhill/Uphill Sprints- Running down a light hill will help to develop leg speed and co-ordination. It’s- often called over-speed training. A small grassy embankment is ideal as long- as it’s not so steep that you need to brake as you run. You should be able to- run at full speed without feeling like you will fall over. Keep distances to 10- meters/yards and walk slowly back to the start before repeating.

Liverpool Sprints- Set up a series of cones about 20 meters/yards apart in a circle formation- (see diagram below). Place two players on each cone. On one cone only- there should be six players. This is the starting point. In the group of six, fourplayers sprint to cone 1. The back two players wait at cone 1 while the front- two players carry on to cone 2. They are also joined by the two players- originally at cone 1. In effect, each pair sprints the length of two cones and- then rests.

Practice Objectives: Agility & Quickness.

Over-Under HurdleSet up a course according to the diagram below. Two sets of hurdles are placed 10meters/yards outside the penalty area. Group A are designated attackers and group Bdefenders. On the coaches command, a player from each group sprints to the firsthurdle, jumps it, sprints to the next hurdle and crawls under it before sprinting to a ballon the edge of the box. If the defender wins they clear the ball. If the attacker wins theyshoot at goal.

Pass and MoveSet up a course according to the diagram below. A server (yellow) stands at each conewith a ball. As the player (blue) sprints towards the server they receive a pass and playit back with one touch. They sprint around the back of the receiver and on to the nextreceiver. When each player has performed the drill three times, change the groups over.

Agility T DrillSet up a series of cones similar to the diagram below. In pairs, one player acts as theserver (yellow). Start by sitting down cross-legged. The drill begins with the serverthrowing the ball for you to get up quickly and volley back. Immediately side step to theright and back. The server should throw the ball for you to knee or chest back.Immediately side step to the left and back. The server should bounce the ball for you topass back. Immediately run backwards and back to the start this time to head the ballback to the server. Change places.

155

Super ShuttleSet a series of cones out in a cross formation. See the diagram below. Run backwardsto the center cone, side step to the right cone (or your left as you look at it on thediagram), side step back to the centre cone still facing the same way. At the center coneturn and sprint forward to the end cone. Now run back to the center cone, side step tothe right, side step back to the center, then turn and sprint back to the start.

Agility Ladder DrillsAgility ladders are excellent for improving foot speed, co-ordination and overallquickness. They can cost anywhere from $30 for shorter ladders to over $100 for moreelaborate designs. An alternative is to either make your own with some white parcelstring and a few soccer net pegs (make sure the pegs are pushed flush into theground). Alternatively, you can paint a simple ladder pattern on grass with some whitewash. Each section should be about 1.5 feet square and ten sections is ample. Practisethe co-ordination slowly several times before you attempt these drills at speed. Here arethree classic ladder drills:

In-Out DrillStart with your feet hip width apart at the bottomof the ladderStep into the first square with your left foot first, immediately followed by your rightfootWith your left foot step outside to the left thesecond square, then immediately stepoutsidethe second square with your right footStep back into the third square with your left foot first, followed by your right foot.Repeat this pattern in fluid motion for the length of the ladder

Lateral Feet DrillStart with both feet outside of the first square and to the leftStep into the first square with your left foot first, immediately followed by your rightfoot... in a 1-2 motionStep to the right, outside the first square again with your left foot fist, followed byyour rightNow step diagonally left into the second square, with the left foot leading alwayskeeping the same 1-2 motionNow step out to the left-hand side of the second square and repeat for the fulllength of the ladder

Five Count DrillStart with your feet hip width apart at the bottom of the ladderStep out to the right of the first square With your right foot immediately followed byplacing your left foot into the first squareBring your right foot along side your left in the first square then step into the secondsquare with your left foot immediately followed by the rightCount these first five steps in a 1-2-3-4-5 manor
