Athletic work in 30-15 with the ball on 4 stations

In the form of 4 stations, this exercise is ideal for interval training (30-15) while including a fun element with the ball. Perfect for the start of the season or after the winter break.

On a large field, set up 4 stations in each corner of the field. Then ask your players to divide into 4 groups. The stations will consist of:

Station 1: poles (or constri-foot) to create a series of slaloms, with a supply of balls. Players must slalom between the poles.
Station 2: 5 to 6 hoops randomly placed on the ground with a supply of balls. Players must maneuver around the hoops.
Station 3: a few balls. Players must perform a series of passes using multiple balls simultaneously.
Station 4: only a supply of balls, with one ball per player. They must perform a series of juggles.

The exercise will proceed as follows:

Each group starts at a different station.
Each station lasts 30 seconds.
Along the length of the field, players move from one station to another in a 15-second fast run.
Across the width of the field, players move from one station to another in a 15-second active recovery.
You can complete 5 full rounds with 2 minutes of recovery between each round.

The U16 category includes players aged 15-16 years. At this age, you will need to focus your U16 training sessions around different themes, such as athletic development, technical skill, and tactical knowledge.

We advise you to concentrate on the basic aspects when preparing your U16 exercises: movement, control-pass, and game awareness. These will be the foundation for your players for many years to come. Make sure to keep your U16 training sessions engaging, as this will help maintain a motivating pace for your players.
