Activation - Building Possession

The 'My Stuff' feature is amazing! It's a coach's best friend!

Thomas

DESCRIPTION

Detail:

Mark out a grid 30 x 20 for the activation.
Split the players into groups of 3 (one group of 4) with 2 balls per group.
One player works, 2 serve (rotate players as required).
In between rotations complete dynamic movements / stretches (open / close the gate, lunges, hip rotations, backwards lunges & punters).

Player without ball needs to be dynamic & ready to receive.
Short passes played in accurately to either feet.
Ball into feet and return, alternate feet, 1-2 touch.
High intensity of ball work.
Dynamic stretches should be done until players feel muscle tightness not pain
