ATHLETES NETWORK COMBINE TRAINING

Athletes Network Football Academy “AN” is interested in helping young athletes grow, both in athletics and in gaining a deeper knowledge of themselves and their abilities. We want to guide them as they improve their skills in football and come to enjoy the experience of working together with their teammates and with other football players and coaches.

AN Football Academy is a year around training program, designed to teach athletes football from the young age of 5 to the mature age of 28. Our athletes will consist of boys,girls,women and men. We will teach you the game of football through skills and drills training. For first players who have never played organized football this is a great time to see if you enjoy football while learning the basic football fundamentals. For experienced players this is a great chance for you to sharpen your football fundamentals and learn new techniques.

AN Football Academy will offer several different training programs such as:

• Group training ( 3 days a week for 1.5 hours focusing on conditioning,power, speed, skills and drills)
• One on One training ( by appointment only 1.5 hours)
• Group Position training ( all drills are designed for the specific position 1.5 hours)
• Group Team training ( all drills are designed for team conditioning and training)
• Speed, Agility and Quickness ( drills are designed to improve you as a football player)
• Bigger, Faster Stronger ( drills and techniques are designed to improve you as a football player)
• Combine Training ( drills designed to prepare you for combine testing: 40 yard dash, pro shuttle and bench press.
• Bench Press: At the signal from the tester, the athlete will bench press a certain weight (either 165, 185 or 225 depending on position and age) as many times as possible. The bar much touch the chest on each repetition, the buttock must remain in contact with the bench and no bouncing can occur.
• Pro Agility Test ( Also known as 5-10-5, Pro Shuttle, 20 yard Shuttle): At the signal from the tester the athlete moves laterally (to the right or left) and touches the designated line or cone 5 yards away. The athlete then moves in the opposite direction and touches the line or cone that is 10 yards away. After touching the line the athlete runs back through the start/finish line. The drill is done in both directions.
• Three Cone Drill (Also known as “L” drill): At the signal from the tester the athlete sprints forward 5 yards and touches the line, turns around and sprints back 5 yards and touches the line, forward 5 yards and then turns right and runs 5 yards making a figure 8 around a cone and then sprints through the finish. The drill is done in both directions.
• 40-yard Sprint: At the signal from the tester, the athlete sprints 40 yards as fast as possible. At Velocity Sports Performance, this will be electronically timed.
• Standing Long Jump: At the signal from the tester and from a stationary position, the athlete jumps forward as far as possible while landing on both feet.
• Vertical Jump: At the signal from the tester and from a stationary position, the athlete jumps as high as possible and touches (with one hand) the highest vane possible on the Vertex vertical jump-testing device.
