Play / A week of practice
A week of practice
Short sessions, a few drills each, spread across the week with rest days in between. Count your team training and matches as training days.
Good to know
- Warm up with the ball for the first few minutes of every session. The first drill of each day is the warm-up.
- Rest days matter as much as training days. Young players should have at least one or two days a week off from all sport.
- If something hurts, stop, and tell an adult. Pain is not something to train through.
- Only practise somewhere safe: away from roads, with permission to use any wall, and never shooting at a goal that isn't pegged down or weighted.
