THE FORGE TRAINING PROGRAM
Structured morning and afternoon sessions designed to develop every position—goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards—through focused, high-intensity work.
Separate groups by position: goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards. Total duration: 2 hours.
- • 20 minutes – Common warm-up: mobility, physical activation, coordination and group activities. Includes simple, competitive games to build energy, teamwork and group spirit.
• 10 minutes – Water break + group division: players split into position groups. Each coach explains the session theme and main objectives.
• 30 minutes – First position-specific exercise: technical or tactical work for each role, starting simple and progressing in difficulty.
• 5–10 minutes – Water break: short recovery, hydration and quick coaching points.
• 20–25 minutes – Second, more dynamic exercise: builds on the first exercise in a more realistic, game-like context.
• 30 minutes – Final scrimmage: free or theme-based game to apply the day’s objectives.
