FOOTBALL GAME SIMULATION
 
Game Simulation or Metabolic Training
A. Goal: Develop game specific conditioning by position

B. Warm-up:
     Step 1: (10 min) do a shorter version of the same warm-up you do for the Speed Day
     Step 2: (10 min) do positional drills building intensity

C. Pace: Simulate your game speed

D. Rest Intervals: Approx. 30 seconds between plays and 3-5 minutes between drives

E. Distance:

  • Below are two Game Simulation examples. You can design and develop your own Drive sequences. Remember to work the skills of your position and follow the guidelines outlined above.
  • Follow-up with Tempo Runs with total distance depending on length and intensity of Game Simulation Workout
  • O-Line and D-Line
      - develop footwork, agility and position skills
      - do not do any sprinting. That is done on your Speed Day
      - if possible work with each other with DL reacting to OL movements
  • Other positions will throw, run routes and work pass coverages.
  • RR's work the run game footwork as well as run routes

Sequence for Linemen
