Phase 1:
General Preparation
Overview:
The main objective of this phase is to involve the maximum number of muscle groups with the goal of preparing the muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints to endure the following training phases.
Interval Program:
The program has an emphasis on running technique to make the players as efficient as possible. It includes both specific technique and speed development drills. It will involve short intense bouts, primarily taxing the ATP-PC energy system. Rest periods between bouts will allow for full recovery of phosphate stores.
Training Sessions:
Warm-up (5-10 mins low intensity aerobic exercise including game-related activity)
Flexibility - Stretching of all major muscle groups
Technique Drills - eg, high knees, rear heel kicks and fast feet.
