Some tams have already started but my own personal team and another team I'm doing the fitness work for is slated to kick off this week and here's what I have laid out for them.
The training aspects I have chosen to roll with this between now and Xmas are all things that I have touched on in my previous "pre-season" post series.
1 - Develop an efficient and effective warm up so it doesn't take 30mins with half it being next to useless for warming up for an extremely dynamic activity.
2 - Extensive Plyometrics to prepare the body for fast and efficient ground contacts when the high speed sprinting starts after Xmas.
3 - Speed work with an emphasis on short distance acceleration at this time to again to prepare for high speed sprinting and longer acceleration work post Xmas.
4 - Running test to set a baseline for all players for the to improve upon. There will be running homework to do that will be critical to improvement so whoever doesn't do the extra work won't get the improvement and the coach will know who they are from their results.
5 - Max Aerobic Speed will be used to set our running specific drills where I'll group players to make it easier for the coaches to st up and track. This sounds technical but I organise the groups, the distance and the times to run so the coach simply needs to run the drill and take the results.
6 - Tempo running is a low intensity training method where the player gets to work on running QUALITY over quantity as efficiency will increase endurance all on it;s own. There will be linear (straight line) and change of direction tempo running.
7 - Steady State running which is the real boring slow and long work which simply HAS to be done to increase your endurance - there's no getting around it.
I currently have 1/week and 2/week programs made up for teams RIGHT NOW as well as homework sessions depending on your team training frequency.
There are videos for all training drills and exercises too so there is minimal work for the coach to do.
If you want me to organise you team's fitness for the entire season, let me know as I can get you the program immediately.
