Frequently asked questions

How do I train speed in football?

With short starts of 5 to 15 metres on visual or auditory cues, changes of direction and duels for the ball, always with full recovery between repetitions. Here you will find ready-made drills with progressions.

Can fitness be trained with the ball?

Yes, and in grassroots football it is recommended: coordination circuits with a pass, warm-ups with the ball and chasing games keep motivation high and transfer better to the match.
