Youth Football Conditioning

This document outlines a spring conditioning circuit consisting of 4 stations that are rotated through every 8 minutes for a total of 15 minutes. The circuit includes plyometric, ladder, bag/hurdle, and pushup/ab exercises at each station. It also includes warm up drills like jogging in place, high knees, and butt kicks. Cool down activities involve stretches, 5 minutes of water breaks, and sprint progressions like fast knee pick ups and high hops over 30 yards. The goal is to prepare athletes for the upcoming season with exercises focusing on agility, speed, and muscle activation through bodyweight and plyometric drills in a circuit training format.

Alternating Starts
The drill is a 20 yard sprint. Vary the starting position. Ex. doing a push up, sitting on your hands, lying face down, etc.

Squirm 360s (Transition & Change of Direction)


Set cones @ 5 & 10 yards then laterally @ 10 so total drill is similar to ʻTʼ shape. Run to first cone, keep hand on top of cone and do 360
to left, go to second cone and repeat to right, to end cone and cut laterally and finish with 10 yard HARD sprint.

Sprint/Backpedal (Reaction Quickness & Change of Direction)


• Mark off about 30 yards.

Fast Knee Pick Ups: 10 yards - jog - 10 yards - rest


Jogging on the spot raise your knees to waist height while emphasising arm action. Move forward 10 yards with this action
concentrating on the number of ground contacts rather than how fast you cover the distance.

High Hops: 30 yards


Bound from one foot to the other. The action is similar to skipping except your are trying to gain as much height as possible and stay in
the air for as long as possible. Remember to recover fully between attempts.

"A" walk - Lift foot straight up under the butt. This should induce a high keen lift & slight skip. Lower the leg to the ground with out any
extension. Repeat other leg. Keep motion slow.

"A" Skip - Once you master the walk then speed up and the foot "claws" as it hits the ground. Stay tall and do cycles on one leg and then
alternate.
