When players get tired their game becomes sloppy, passes go astray and mistakes get made.
That's why this week we've got a pre-season football-fitness session to get your players' legs moving.
What's in the Session?
All the drills in this session have a footballing element built into them, working on dribbling, passing and shooting within a fitness framework. Not only will this session get your players working hard on their fitness levels, it will also allow you to see how you players perform when tired in the shooting exercise and final game.
Fitter teams are better teams - Get your team in shape so that they can work hard for the full 90 minutes!
