In this session we mix things up and work on a variety of fitness systems to get your players working up a sweat - pushing them hard by getting them to work competitively in teams.
As a taster here's 4 drills we use to cover 4 different fitness systems:
1. Fundurance - Fartlek endurance with a fun shooting twist
2. Flexibility - Spider race and a crab running relay (a great ice-breaker)! 3. Plyometrics - An energy-sapping jumping exercise 4. Speed - Square running, working on side-steps and running backwards!
Sportplan Tip
You can coach this session as whole or take elements and mix them into your regular training routine!

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
