1-2	Small-Sided Game (2v2)	2	2 minutes	20x15m pitch, mini-goals, no offside, target RPE 8-9	2 minutes active recovery
1-2	High-Intensity Runs	2	2 minutes	85% VIFT (continuous)	3 minutes passive recovery
3-4	Small-Sided Game (2v2)	3	2 minutes	20x15m pitch, mini-goals, no offside, target RPE 8-9	90 seconds active recovery
3-4	High-Intensity Runs	3	2 minutes	85% VIFT (continuous)	3 minutes passive recovery
5-6	Small-Sided Game (2v2)	3	3 minutes	20x15m pitch, mini-goals, no offside, target RPE 8-9	90 seconds active recovery
