A good training plan It is key to enduring a high-level season. An adequate training plan will help us maintain a high performance throughout the season in an optimal and safe way for our health.
We will work on the technical aspects of the game with technical-motor exercises and we will exercise tactics with group exercises. This way the player will know when and how to use his skills to score a goal for the team.
Thanks to a training plan we will be able to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a player, to help flourish the talent of each of our players to lead us to victory. Therefore, planning training sessions will have the objective of maintaining high performance and making up for any deficiencies that our players may have.

How do we structure a soccer training session?
To begin with, we must differentiate between session and task, a task is still an exercise and a session is the time of training, so a task can occupy several sessions. Likewise, tasks can have different sections depending on the objective to be achieved:
- Heating.
- Main exercise.
- End.
The sequence of tasks that we plan will set the pace, so we have to do it correctly so that the progression is adequate and not fatigue the players from the beginning.
Heating
It is essential in any training plan. It is essential for the training session, just like before any match, it helps us condition the body for sport and avoid possible injuries.
Main exercise
This is the key part of the training and is 60 to 90 minutes divided into 4 or 6 parts. Its first part focuses on physical preparation:
- Resistance: aerobic and anaerobic
- Strength: Resistance, explosive and maximum
- Coordination: race technique
- Flexibility
- Preventive Exercises
In soccer, most of the time you play without the ball at your feet, so it is very important to have a good soccer training plan for your physique.
Making constant changes of speed and direction is what players do most in games.
The second part deals with the technical work planned according to the football training plan.
- Individual technique: Achieve driving and dribbling skills.
- Collective technique: Passing between players, combined actions, driving... Ensuring that our team can coordinate on the field of play and achieve a good combination of passes, plays...
Technical-tactical exercises:
- Rondos
- Possessions
- Duels
- Collective technical actions
The fourth part covers tasks that enhance players' tactics. In this way, it prepares athletes to face different situations in which they may find themselves on the field of play during matches.
- Defense: Make high pressure, retreats.
- Attack: Initiation for the attack, its creation and finishing on goal if possible.
- Counterattack.
- Offensive and defensive transitions.
The fifth part applies what was learned in the games. These are usually carried out in small spaces, intermediate spaces or the entire field. Simulations of real matches allow players to undergo the same pressure that they will suffer during a competition. This way, they can demonstrate everything they have learned and what they can do.
And finally, to finish, we find the sixth part of the football training plan, which covers strategic aspects, corners, fouls, penalties, discounts, etc.
Basically it deals with any action that involves set pieces.
End
The goal of this phase is to return to calm. Depending on the intensity with which you have completed the training, continuous running and stretching for about 5-10 minutes is recommended. It is about getting your heart rate to recover and all the tension from training to be released.
