Football: Agility Circuit

Like Bayern Munich, teach your players to break down their opponents by speeding the ball around the pitch with this fast-paced passing and moving session

Great for warm ups.

Players dribble through the cones, pass to the waiting player at the end of the cones and then run back to touch the first red cone.

They then turn and sprint back inside the red square where they play a quick one-two.

After this they run back towards the start line, looking to run onto the weighted pass from the blue player.

The next player then goes.

Position 2 teams of 6 players in opposite corners of the same end line and number players on each team from 1 to 6.

Place a gate (2 cones, 3 yards apart) at the opposite end of the area to the goal. Position the coach as a goalkeeper in the goal.

The coach calls out a number from 1 to 6. The respective players from each team run with the ball following the directional arrow as shown in the diagram, to the gate at the end of the grid.

The first ball to cross through the gate is the ball that is used (the other one can be discarded).

The players then compete in a 1 vs 1 to get a shot on goal.

Player takes 2 footed calf springs along the ladder.

He jumps forward two rungs, and then back one, all the way to the end

Set up as shown.

Player 1 starts with the ball in the middle of the field and plays a 1-2 pass with player 2 before passing out wide to player 3.

At this point, players 1 and 2 run towards the penalty area, ready to receive a cross, while one of the defenders goes out wide to put pressure on the crosser.

Player 3 will cross the ball into the box where players 1 and 2 will try to beat the defender to it and score.
