1 Football Small Sided Fitness Conditioning
2 Football Specific Conditioning Drills Using football drills, small sided games and possession sessions for conditioning has considerable benefits: Passing Dribbling Shooting Movement patterns Technical skills Tactical skills And most importantly Motivation How often do you see clubs carrying out pre-season sessions, in-season sessions and general fitness sessions without a ball? You know yourself that doing continuous running, intervals, circuits can and does get a little boring. The sessions in this item have been designed to improve your players endurance (lactate threshold, VO2 max and anaerobic capacity). Motivating your players by using small sided games is the most effective technique available to improve player s fitness levels for football. Table 1 Shows the advantages/disadvantages of carrying out traditional and football specific training methods. Motivation of a player is improved when football and competition are involved. Also, more similar movement types and patterns in soccer drills may also lead to a greater transfer to match specific fitness. Enhanced movement efficiency is particularly a key for unorthodox forms of locomotion, such as side and backwards movements, which are frequently used in football drills.
3 Table 1 Advantages and disadvantages of physical training using football drills and traditional running Football Drills Traditional Running Small sided games with specific rules Specific exercise time in a controlled (target players, no. of balls, rules, pitch running session over a specific distance / size) time Advantages Improved motivation (using a ball) Work intensity can be controlled easily Movement specific (tackling, dribbling, Improvements can be monitored heading, jumping) objectively Tactical awareness Comparisons can be made between players (heart rate, speed, time) Improvements in technical skill Gain insight into player character/motivation Potential decrease in injury Disadvantages Difficult to work out and control exact Less movement associated with match intensity play (usually straight line running) Often difficult to organize optimal Players do not practice technical skills training structure Increased risk of contact injuries No game-based tactical elements Need numbers to make up session Players do not like running Certain degree of technical ability May increase risk of some injuries due to required unaccustomed running (tendonitis, lumbopelvic problems) Table 2 shows pitch sizes according to number of players. To increase intensity pitch size can be manipulated and vice versa to decrease the intensity No. of players Small Medium Large 3 a side 12 x 20m 15 x 25m 18 x 30m 4 a side 16 x 24m 20 x 30m 24 x 36m 5 a side 20 x 28m 25 x 35m 30 x 42m 6 a side 24 x 32m 30 x 40m 36 x 48m 1 a side possession 5 x 10m 10 x 15m 15 x 20m 2 a side possession 10 x 15m 15 x 20m 20 x 25m 3 a side possession 15 x 20m 20 x 25m 25 x 30m 4 a side possession 20 x 25m 25 x 30m 30 x 35m 5 a side possession 25 x 30m 30 x 35m 35 x 40m
4 Training Load/Intensity during football drills Factors that can influence the intensity of football drills include the type of drill, player numbers, player motivation, pitch size, and rule alterations. 8-a-side to 5-a-side drills are appropriate for lactate threshold development (85 90 % MHR), whereas 4-a-side and 3-a-side games produce intensities appropriate for VO2 max development (90 95 % MHR). Blood lactate and perceived exertion responses indicate that 2 v. 2 drills are suited to anaerobic development. All these (Lactate threshold, Vo2 max, Anaerobic) training formats are considered critical in developing football endurance. Table 3 shows the recommended training loads and football drills that produce suitable intensities for the aforementioned endurance training methods. Table 3 Type of endurance training using Football Specific Drills Appropriate training load Soccer Intensity Duration Drill Training Type Lactate threshold Vo. Max 90- %HR RPE Lactate mmol/l Modifying a football drill is often done by adjusting the number of players present. Lower playing numbers result in higher exercise intensities and viceversa % Quite Hard Total work, min Rep Duration min 1-8 <1 min Examples Reps Rest Drill Stressful min % min Anaerobic >85 Maximal > s-3 min sets of min 4-8 5v5, 6v6, 7v7, 8v8 3v3, 4v4 2v2, 3v3 %HR = percent heart rate, RPE + rating of perceived exertion; reps = repetitions

Two players in each half of pitch with servers numbered 1 to 3 on the outside of area for each team. dictates which player serves the ball into striker. In neutral area if striker receives ball he should look to let the ball run and shoot or turn and shoot.
