What's in the session?
The session begins with a fun warm-up game to get your players heartbeat raised but also get them thinking about their movement and tactically how they can maintain possession to secure points. The session develops to provide a number of drills that mix up the speed, intensity and duration of your players movements, to replicate a game situation, as your players do not simply run continuously. These drills will get your players tired but also ensure they maintain their quality of movement and skills whilst under fatigue.
