1UP Indoor 2025 Training Menu & Technical Details

All sessions are carefully designed by head coach and founder Graham Fisher which consists of all important player habits needed to excel and improve in today's modern game within GAME REALISTIC training activities. Graham blends his 7 years of youth & professional experience in Germany, Ireland, Spain & England, with his 3 National Coaching licenses to bring the players and coaching staff a second to none training environment.

Sessions Structure

Each session consists of three fast paced, game realistic mini stations, for around 18 minutes each, usually consisting of:

  1. Unopposed Activity (No defenders)

    • High repetition, lower amount of decision making

  2. Opposed Activity

    • Higher amount of decision making, lower repetition

  3. Mini Game

    • Fast paced, game realistic, designed to bridge gap between technical learning’s and player’s games.

*Most session will include a shot or finish on goal in at least one station! This way players will improve their goal scoring every week.
