This is a 6 week "Soccer Specific Strength and Conditioning Plan" for youth athletes ages 16 and up. This plan will prepare you to build soccer specific strength and endurance. Please follow your coaches tactical and technical drills! This Training Plan does not include ball activities!
Due to the fact that not everyone has access to a gym and we are addressing different age groups, I am including workouts that need minimal equipment. However, I would recommend purchasing resistance bands, suspension trainer (like TRX) as well as a 55-65cm gym ball. As far as weights for strength training progression goes, you can utilize a backpack and fill it with padded heavy books or similar items to add extra weight if no Barbell or Dumbbells are available. Make sure to always watch your upright posture and form!
