Pass & Move
Passing and immediately sprinting to a new position trains the give-and-go habit that keeps the ball moving and gets you free for the return — the engine of team play.
How to do it
Pass the ball against a wall or to a partner, then sprint to a new spot before receiving the return pass and going again. Stay on your toes and call for the ball each time. Complete the prescribed reps, then rest and repeat.

Agility & Tussle
Weaving through cones at speed and then driving into a physical duel trains the agility and strength to beat a man and win the ball back under pressure.
Driven Long Pass
The driven ball — a low, firm pass struck with the laces — is how you switch play or hit a teammate forty yards away, and it trains the technique behind a hard, accurate shot too.
Passing Gates
Passing through small cone gates at distance sharpens the accuracy and weight of pass needed to thread the ball to a teammate's feet under pressure.
Shuttle Sprints
Repeated short sprints with sharp turns build the repeatable speed and quick recovery you rely on for pressing, tracking back and chasing balls down.
Suicide Runs
Progressive shuttle sprints to increasing distances build the maximal repeat-sprint capacity that shows up in the last fifteen minutes of a match.
The Square Run
Mixing controlled running with explosive sprints around a square trains the change of pace and repeat-sprint endurance you need to get up and down the pitch all game.
