In this one-to-one session filmed exclusively for CV Academy, Mark Hoare of the Pro Football Academy takes a player through a speed, agility and quickness circuit made up of a box marked out by different coloured cones, an agility ladder, two mannequins and two mini-goals.

To progress the practice, the coach introduces a ball that can be used to work on the player’s close control and dribbling in tight areas, one-touch passing, body shape to receive and longer passes on the second touch.
