What age are they? What level do they play? What training have they done so far? What days are they aiming for? What sport do they play? What surface are you using?

Should be able to get some good advice here so, just that without some of that info it'd be hard for lads (or ladies) to advise you.Should have said I'm no expert on fitness, and haven't the faintest clue about football.

I'm a big fan of core work in training though, because it's something lads often wont do on their own, especially at junior. A few minutes given over to planks and side planks, wheelbarrows (done properly, obviously) is well spent as long as you keep it up for a couple of weeks.

Couldn't speak to what you need in terms of drills or game-time in football. In hurling I like a training session to build up from a basic skill drill, with a twist put into the drill half way through so that it includes an opponent and contact ie get the skill right then get them doing it under pressure. Then develop that into a small game situation in which the skill is being practiced in a game-simulating environment. Make sure you're explaining the drill quickly and clearly so people aren't standing about wondering what they're doing, and please, please, explain to lads WHY they're doing the drill (I'd run through a wall if someone tells me why it has to be done). The time splits seem about right to me, maybe vary up the fitness to include the ball a bit, because running gets boring and it's time they could be improving a skill.

We do one hour in n out Warmup reps of kickpassing n handpassing Then various small sided games with posession or scoring Relays with soloing Circuits sometimes which has one station catching n one soloing n rest body exercises The warmup reps of kicking n handpassing are close together to maximise number of reps n focus on simple basics rather than spectacular 40 yard kickpasses that junior players probably wont pull off in a game anyways
