Purpose
The purpose of this soccer fitness drill is to work on a player’s aerobic endurance and recovery.
Set up
- 30 x 40-yard area
- 2 equal groups of players
- 1 bib per player
How it works
Set up your area and divide your player into 2 groups.
The players will start jogging in 1 larger group, however, 1 group will be in front of the other group.
The group in front will be group 1 and the group behind group 2.
Group 2 will then have to sprint past and lap group 1 while group 1 is still jogging.
Once all of group 2 have passed group 1, group 1 will then have to sprint past and lap group 2 so they are back in front.
Perform this 3 times per group. In this soccer fitness and conditioning drill, players can dribble with a ball too.
