The document discusses periodizing football training into 6-week cycles with a focus on football conditioning. It recommends incorporating conditioning into technical/tactical training rather than separating the disciplines. The pre-season plan outlined has a focus on football-specific conditioning through small-sided games in the first 6 weeks, starting with bigger games and progressing to smaller games, with technical/tactical sessions later in the week to be fresh for games. The goal is to get the team ready to play together using their tactical approach by the first game.

Unlike any other program around, the SoccerSkillz Training winter development – futsal program is completely unique.
The program consists of two parts.
One Hour Development of ball fundamentals as well as passing and moving concepts.
One Hour Futsal small sided games, 3v3 and 5v5.
All training is done on a futsal hard floor environment. NO TURF. Because the hard floor surface is faster it makes it
more challenging for players to maintain control of the ball, therefore when they return on the grass surface it is easier
to maintain control of the ball. Because of the hard surface, the speed of the game is also faster, forcing the players into
making quicker decisions therefore developing their reading of the game and situations presented

2. Outcomes
• To introduce the concept that the most
appropriate way to train football is to leave
the total football structure as much as
possible intact.
• To understand how to incorporate Football
Conditioning into 6-week Technical/Tactical
cycles
7. FFA’s Principles
Training activities must therefore be
football-related activities that
resemble the Match and prepare
players for the Match
The purpose of Training is to improve
MATCH PERFORMANCE:
8. FFA’s Principles
If the whole of a training session is
aimed at achieving the objective,
more chance of learning/success
22. Chance to get the players fit?
What type of fitness work do you do?
23. • The general perception in Australia is that
fitness is THE decisive factor in football
• Therefore conditioning has become almost
a national obsession, even in youth football
Conditioning in Football
24. Strength and Conditioning specialists
from other sports have taken over a
major part of football training and make
us believe football fitness is almost
rocket science
Conditioning in Football
25. In Rugby/AFL the physical component
is probably decisive.
In football the most skilful players
decide the games.
Conditioning in Football
26. FIFA provide physical data for every team at the 2010 World
Cup.
Conditioning in Football

How much fitter do
you think the top four
were….
…than…
…four teams who
were eliminated in
the Group Stage?
33. Remember when you considered
how your team played! In your
‘minds eye’ what did you see?
What style of play?
How do you attack / defend?
What type of players do you like?
Fitness in Football
34. …
What does FIFA’s technical
data
from the 2010 World Cup
tell us about the top 3
Nations?
35. Germany (3rd)
• Patient build-up play from the
back through the midfield
• Excellent passing game - good
options for the player in
possession
• Influential individual players
(SCHWEINSTEIGER, OEZIL,
MUELLER)
• Disciplined, well-organised
defence
• Dangerous at set pieces
• Winning mentality
• Excellent team spirit
• Width of the pitch used well -
wingers attack the goal, are
able to cut in, good in 1v1
situations
• Rapid transition from defence
to attack
• Effective use of full-backs
36. Holland (2nd)
• Patient build-up play from
the back through the
midfield
• Excellent passing game
• Influential individual players
(SNEIJDER, ROBBEN)
• Disciplined, well-organised
defence
• Dangerous at set pieces
• Good links between the team
lines
• Width of the pitch used well
- wingers attack the goal, are
able to cut in, good in 1v1
situations
• Winning mentality
• Midfield pressing
• Immediate pressure after
losing possession
37. Spain (1st)
• Patient build-up play
from the back through
the midfield

players (INIESTA, XAVI,
VILLA)
• Comfortable in

pressure
• Winning mentality
• Disciplined, well-
organised defence

good in 1v1 situations
39. Australia (21st)
• Deep defensive block
• Attacks using the width
• Immediate pressure after losing
possession
• Strong, hard-working players
• Determination
What use was all that fitness?
40. Conclusion?
Your players need to be fit, of course
But everyone seems to be fit so..
What really makes a difference?
41. The Difference
Superior technical / tactical qualities
(effective possession and ‘special’
players) were the deciding factors at the
World Cup, not physical qualities
43. When is a football player in a good physical condition?
• When they are able to run 10 km around the
athletic track or through the woods?
• When they are able to sprint 100 metres in 15
seconds?
• When they are able to do 50 push-ups or sit-
ups?
• When they are doing all the gym exercises
with maximum weights?
• When they score well in sprint, jump or beep
tests?
44. Key question to ask yourself
Fit for what?
Fit to do what they need to
do, as well as they can,
whenever it is required,
throughout a football game
45. Football Actions
These may be the actions a player needs to perform to play
football according to the your Team Model
Shooting/Passing
Making a run into space
Tracking a defender
Using a 1v1 move to get past an opponent
Jumping to win a header
Pressing the opponent with the ball
Etc., etc.
Football Language! (not rocket science)
46. Fitness for Football
Fit to do what they need to
do, as well as they can,
whenever it is required,
throughout a football game
47. Football fitness should be developed in a
football specific way
FOOTBALL TRAINING = CONDITIONING
CONDITIONING = FOOTBALL TRAINING
Football conditioningFootball conditioning
50. Ideally…
• Focusing on the Team
• Establish Team Principles
- How you attack and score goals
- How you defend and prevent goals
- How you transition
• Technical/tactical preparation above
physical preparation
51. forget…
• Hill runs
• Beach runs
• Commando work
• Endless laps
• Isolated drills and practices
• Non football activities
52. What’s the focus?
Just fitness?
Just football?
50% fitness, 50% football?
Aren’t they the same thing? Don’t we
want Football Fitness?
53. FOOTBALL TRAINING = CONDITIONING
CONDITIONING = FOOTBALL TRAINING

game-specific

87. Note:
Only one conditioning component
should be covered in a single week
Each of the three conditioning
components is the focus for two
consecutive weeks in the 6-week
cycle
88. Small Increases in the demands
from week to week and cycle
to cycle (every 6 weeks
throughout the season)?
89. And that’s it!
All the Conditioning exercises you need:
3v3 / 4v4 (the small games)
5v5 / 6v6 / 7v7 (the medium games)
8v8 / 9v9 / 10v10 / 11v11 (the big games)
All game-specific– all on the field – all with your
team
90. Key message
Don’t look at them as Conditioning exercises:
• They are Football exercises
• They will assist in the development of your
players and the team to play the way you want
them to PLAY.
BUT, THEY HAVE A CONDITIONING EMPHASIS!
91. • The ‘traditional’ model of a ‘punishing’ pre-
season to get the players ready, then trying to
maintain their fitness for the rest of the season
does not work
• The Football Conditioning Model continuously
develops players’ fitness step-by-step over the
whole season WITHOUT LOSING VALUABLE
TEAM PREPARATION TIME ON NON-RELEVANT
ACTIVITIES (beach runs, mountain bikes, etc.)
Pre-Season – ‘Traditional’ v ‘Football Conditioning’
92. Short term fitness
Fitness drops towards the end
of season
More injuries
Less moments your full squad
will be on the training pitch
In case of injury: quicker loss of
fitness
Developing fatigue
Traditional Method -
Quick build-up
Long term fitness
Fitness increases continually
during whole season
Less injuries
More moments your full squad
will be on the training pitch
In case of injury: slower loss of
fitness
Retaining freshness
Football Conditioning –
Gradual build-up
93. The concept outlined on this course
should give you an idea to use the
football conditioning exercises to
develop your team in the time you
have available!
94. I want to know more
This is a basic introduction and will
improve your team performance.
There is a lot more detail.
95. To gain a detailed understanding of
the FFA Football Fitness model?
96. You need to attend FFA
Advanced Courses to learn
about the FFA Football
Conditioning Model fully
97. Outcomes
• To introduce the concept that the most
appropriate way to train football is to leave
the total football structure as much as
possible intact.
• To understand how to incorporate Football
Fitness into 6-week Technical Tactical cycles
