Hi everyone! With the new junior season on us I'm planning sessions with an U16s boys team (mainly 15 year olds) and need some advice on football conditioning.
I'm surrounded by a lot of old fashioned coaches, so the boys are used to just doing suicides, laps and sprints. However I would like to move away from some of this and incorporate a ball into conditioning drills or small games. It's going to raise some eyebrows with the traditionalists but I don't have time to waste on laps!!! However at the same time I realise that fitness is important and I don't want the boys to fade half way through a game or the season. I've got some ideas from my Youth Certificate but would like to explore more options.
Would welcome any advice and experiences from those who have faced something similar.

The 3v1, 4v2 and 5v3 rondos are good for conditioning. They are good for a lot of other things too.
If you don't what they are, you can PM, send me your email address and I can send them via email. I have permission form the former state TD to do this, but not to post them on the internet.
