On 8. january 2007. I should start working as a S&C coach for one soccer team here. This is Preparatory Period II (middle season) which lasts 8 weeks till first league game. We will have two camps, I guess in France and Cyprus (well, I hope so 
) after 2 weeks.
I will start with ordinary High/Low microcycle arrangement: hills, explosive medbal stuff, tempo, tempo medball, strength.
I would do hills, plyos, strength on Mon/Wed/Fri, and explosive medball and tempo on Tue/Thu/Sat (we will have friendly games in Sat, so I will do tempo on Sunday).
I was thinking to emphasise aerobic development with 4x/w tempo work (High/Low/Low scheme) for 2 wks, but I think that this is not the best idea since the PREP II lasts for 8 weeks, and this would allow me 2x/w hill sprints, and ordinary would allow 3x/w.
My greates doubt, which actually motivated me to start this thread and ask for guidance, is how to organize soccer practices during High/low days? Head coach wants soccer practices every day, usually in PM (after strength/conditioning in AM). But luckily he is very OK guy, and want me to tell him what kind of training best suist the integration of the all components.
I guess:
Low intensity
- Easy tactical practices, with lot of coach’s talk and stoping
- Coordination with the ball (ball control), heading, passing, juggling, dribling
- Easy technical drills
- Small sided games with lower intensity and greater duration (or as would Bangsbo clasiffy them as Low-Med Aerobic)
High intensity
- Shooting
- High intensity techincal and tactical drills
- 1on1, 2on2
- Small sided games (more intensity, 6v4, etc)
What do you guys think? Any suggestions, corrections? Thanks!
