The entire program can be performed on the soccer field with no equipment required other than a soccer ball for each athlete. It should be performed in the athlete’s off or preparatory season, 3 to 6 days per week. If training is performed 3 days per week, all components of training are performed every day. If training 5 to 6 days per week, the plyometrics and strength components are performed on the same day and the cardio workouts are performed on the alternate days. The warm-up, agility drills and flexibility exercises are performed daily.
At the end of the six weeks of training, the athlete should be physically ready to begin the soccer season with a solid foundation of strength, endurance, agility and flexibility. These areas are the cornerstone for perfecting soccer specific skills.
