Can anyone come along? I run there sometimes and will be honest, I wont be playing there next year but it would be good to help recover with my knee

[Paleon Patros Germanos]

More than welcome Jay.

However, I think alot of the sessions we see us congregate there and run along the river.

Other sessions will be held in the park. Dont want to step on Fulham Cricket Club and Fulham Soccer Club's toes!!!

you would be better off not holding any sessions. any kind of training without the ball is no training at all. they should be trained to be players, not athletes. leave it until next year, then do sessions where every exercise invovles the ball, make them short, but intense to mirror match conditions, and slowly build their stamina by making the sessions quicker.

im not having a go at yourself or the club wombat, this is a suggestion to help improve the quality of players. if you want the guys to keep somewhat fit during the off season, just take a couple of balls to the park, put down some towels as goals, and play a small sided game. theyll still do the running, itll just be fun, and theyll be getting touches on the ball.

Ingle Farm have started their Thursday Night kick-arounds. A lot of our players use these games to keep a certain level of fitness.

Anyone can come for a kick from 7pm, they play these games every Thursday Night until pre season starts in late January.

If anyone wants to join in just rock up at just before 7pm, chuck your boots on and join in.

What good is having the ball when you don't have a base of fitness in order to run out a game? Fitness is just as important as ball work

Read it again and you will find your answer.

I agree 100% with Fitz....The same coaching philosophy that Roar use.

Yeah, but they don't just rock up and play 5-side. They do a lot of high intensity ball movement drills.

I didn't say they did (rock up and play 5 a side), Fitz mentioned this ^ in his post and I said I agreed 100%. :?

The inverse applies too.....use a ball wherever possible...

Agree with Franco the UnAmericain. How can players in the Amateur leagues start in bloody November? When does the season start, after Easter? Are they trying to outdo the FFSA or A-League for the longest pre-season in the World?

What about enjoying those sctratch games now that Franco mentions, or 7-a-side or Futsal fun, then start after New Year with a month of torture, followed by friendly practice games in Feb/March?

Someone once told me:

"Get fit to play the game, don't play the game to get fit"

[Fitz]

Someone once told me:

"Get fit to play the game, don't play the game to get fit"

That is the stupidest quote I've heard for some time. Old fellas kicking about play the game currently 'to keep fit', and for enjoyment.

Play the damn game properly, and you will get fit. Its all about the way you tailor your pre season. If any coach tells me to do a beach run I basically tell them to get cab'd. No benefit whatsoever. However, a session of beach football is different entirely.

Wonder why the Roar are at a higher level of fitness than any other team in the A-League? They do periodisation pre-season, which involves exactly what I mentioned above. They arent busting their butts for 2.5 hours, their sessions are short, incredibly intense (more intense than games) so they run the game out well. Barcelona had their players coming back from holidays around 3 weeks from the start of the season, as they knew that the rest is more beneficial in the long term. Their players were still quite fit come the start of the season, as the follow the periodisation techniques.

Also, not only does periodisation increase the level of football fitness, it decreases the chances of injury, as you arent overloading or overworking tired muscles.
