Australian Rules Football training plans, built for your goal
AFL asks more of your legs than almost any other football code — elite players cover 12km or more a game on an unrestricted oval with no offside line to slow the play down, so aerobic capacity has to sit alongside marking strength and kicking off both feet. SportBlox builds your Australian Rules training plan around your goal, current level and position.
Who it's for
Pre-season running base
Progressive aerobic volume and leg strength to handle full-oval running loads from round one.
Contested marking and strength
Strength, jumping power and body-on-body work for ruck and key-position contests.
Two-footed kicking development
Structured kicking repetition on your weaker side alongside handball and disposal under fatigue.
A week of australian rules football training
Example: a midfielder building running capacity in pre-season. Your own plan is built around your event, level and schedule.
How SportBlox personalises it
Your goal & event date
Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.
Your skill level
Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.
Your stated weaknesses
Tell SportBlox about things like running capacity across four quarters, kicking accuracy on the non-preferred foot, overhead marking against contest and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.
Your schedule
The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.
Australian Rules Football training plan FAQ
How many sessions per week does it include?
Typically 4-6, balancing running volume, strength and skill work with at least one full recovery day.
Do I need an oval or can I train elsewhere?
No — sessions are written for whatever open space, gym or local park you have access to, and adapt drills accordingly.
Is it suitable for someone new to Australian Rules?
Yes, skill level scales handball, kicking and contested-marking complexity so beginners build fundamentals safely.
Will it work around my club's training nights?
Yes — tell it your existing training and match days and supplementary running and gym work is scheduled around them.
Does it address common AFL injuries like hamstring strains?
Sessions include running-specific strength and mobility work targeting high-risk areas, but flag any current injury so the plan can adjust.
