Seaforth Soccer Off Season Fitness Plan

Aerobic fitness is a very important component of the game of soccer. No matter how talented an athlete is, one will not be able to showcase one's talent if one cannot run and sprint for extended periods of time. We will not spend practice time solely on fitness. We will dedicate practice time to developing the tactical, technical, and psychological aspects of the game. As high school aged athletes, you will be expected to come into the season in soccer shape, which means ready to run and sprint hard for at least 30 minutes. Below are two quick and simple workout plans. Either plan will help you improve your fitness. This should be performed 3 times a week when not in season.

Plan 1

1- Jog for 3 minutes at a slow pace.

2- Perform dynamic stretching for 8-10 minutes ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OupwroIBcrIsee )

3- Perform 20 sets of the following:

I- Sprint at full speed for 5 seconds (increase sprint time up to 8 seconds as fitness improves)

II- Jog at a slow pace for 45 seconds to recover  

4- 3 minute slow jog to cool down

5- Perform static stretching of major muscle groups. Hold each stretch 8-10 seconds. Avoid bouncing or jerking movements.

Plan 2

At a soccer field or track, perform the following:

1- Perform dynamic stretching for 8-10 minutes (see video example above)

2- 25 minutes of the following

I- Jog the long side sides of the track or field

II- Sprint the short side

3- Perform static stretching of major muscle groups. Hold each stretch 8-10 seconds. Avoid bouncing or jerking movements.

NOTE: Remember, soccer shape requires jogging combined with sprinting. Straight periods of just jogging will not get you into soccer playing shape.
