This is a soccer conditioning drill that focuses on anaerobic indurance. Players need to also be aware at certain times in this drill so they do ot collide. The players are divided into 2 groups, A & B. The players run figure eights around the field as shown in the diagram. The red lines are where players jog and the blue lines are the places they sprint. 3-4 Laps is a good workout for most players but should be adjusted based on the teams level of conditioning.






Soccer Conditioning Drills
This soccer conditioning drill is intended to work on the anaerobic ability of your players. Depending on the condition of your soccer team the number of sprint intervals can be increased or decreased. The length of the sprint can also vary, however, a 30 yard sprint is a good average sprint distance for most players. The players sprint between the cones (30 yards) and jog (50%) around the cone near the side line. Players should be given a rest of about 1:30 between reps but they should keep walking or jogging the entire time.
