Have this physical circuit for your team as well, no matter what level you play in. You won't need more than 8 players and some poles/cones.

Activity Flow:

Overall information:

- All the drills are done at max speed, sprint
- In some stations there can be a teammate with ball
- Make sure to leave more rest time than the working time

1st station:

- Sprint from one cone to the other
- Once the cone is reached, play a pass back to your teammate (on the ground, volley, header, etc.)

2nd station:

- Have a player say a color to his working teammate
- Make sure the players get back to the first cone every time

3rd station:

- Start sprinting, then jump, then sprint, then quick change of direction then sprint, then slalom then a final sprint.

4th station:

- Sprint, and then the coach picks which move to make in the ladder (two feet, two feet sideways, one foot, etc.)

Organisation:

Organisation is as shown in the picture.

- Have many poles ready and cones from different colors

Coaching Points:

The role of the coach is very very important in this circuit:

- The intensity must come from the coach pushing his players (in a good way) to push themselves
- Quality cannot be dropped in the passes even once the players get tired

Variations available:

- Add more time
- Start with some plank or push up to combine strength and speed
- Add more teammates with balls
