Site:Soccer Drills & Football Drills - Professional Soccer Coaching -http://www.professionalsoccercoaching.com

Title:Low Intensity Aerobic Agility Circuit - Created: 28 January 2010

Low Intensity Aerobic Agility CircuitDrill Objective(s)soccer fitness and conditioning 1) Develop Aerobic Capacity 2) Develop Agility and Quickness.. * Drill No: Ae2 * Age: 12-Adult soccer warm ups and warm up * No Players: 1+ * Difficulty: Easy * Area/Time: Full Pitch (10mins = 1 set)Diagram 1

ORGANISATION:Mark out a full standard soccer pitch as shown in the diagram. Players are staggered around the field at different points to avoid trafficat any one point of the circuit. This activity can also double as a warm-up.INSTRUCTIONS:Players perfom 1 lap of casual low intensity jogging in preparation for the activity. Players then perform 3 laps of the circuit in an anticlockwise direction. If a limited number of players they can all start from the same point (i.e. top right hand corner of the field, labelled'start'). Should take players approx 7-8 mins. For the dynamic stretch sections the players perfom the following activities:Lap 1 =Fast feet Activity (A) = 2 feet contact through the cones (training bars) in each section (i.e. left and right).Dynamic Stetch (B) = Walking LungesLap 2 = Fast feet Activity (A) = Side shuffle (2 feet contact in each section) through the cones (training bars) in each section (i.e. left and right).Dynamic Stetch (B) = High knees (Also known as knee raises)Lap 3 = Fast feet Activity (A) = 1 feet contact through the cones (training bars) in each section.Dynamic Stetch (B) = Butt Kickers (i.e. heels clip butt on each step)Break to perfom static stretches.Perform another 3 laps with the same activities.

Soccer Drills Low Intensity Aerobic Agility Circuit


Title:Low Intensity Aerobic Agility Circuit - Created: 28 January 2010

SCORING:None.KEY COACHING POINTS: 1) Good technique on the dynamic stretches and also the fast feet activities. Monitor both hand/arm and feet movement.

PROGRESSIONS: 1) Reduce the rest period to 2 minutes to increase the intensity of the activity. 2) Increase the target times to longer to make easier. 3) Decrease target times to shorter to make harder. 4) Increase the reps to make harder.

VARIATIONS: 1) Modify the circuit and change the jogging sections into cruise (75% maximal effort) to increase the aerobic nature of this activity.

NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS:Make sure the players are being pushed. At the same time not overworked.The soccer graphics have been made with Easy Sports-Graphics (www.sports-graphics.com)

Soccer Drills Agility/Plyometric Circuit 1


Title:Agility/Plyometric Circuit 1 - Created: 30 May 2010

PROGRESSIONS: 1) Vary the activities: * 2 footed jumps forward, one back sequence in the ladder. * lateral jumps in the ladders. * Hopscotch through the ladders. * Single leg hops over hurdles.VARIATIONS: 1) Have players positioned by each activity as feeders with balls in their hands. These players can feed a ball to the players going

through the circuits at random points. i.e. player steps out of the activity when the ball is feed and volleys/heads/chest the ballback to feeder and then continues round the circuit.

2) Have players positioned by each activity as feeders with balls in their hands. These players can feed a ball to the players goingthrough the circuit on the coachs command.
