6v3 Transitional Rondo ⚽️ at Jakarta International Stadium 🏟️ by Brisbane Roar @brisbaneroarfc

A progression from the 5v2 transitional rondo — now increasing the numbers to 6v3.

Six players keep possession against three defenders. Win the ball and the roles immediately change, with possession transferred to the neighbouring area.

This exercise was designed by Michael Valkanis @michael.valkanis_official for the Brisbane Roar First Team and led on the pitch by Iacopo La Rocca @iacopolarocca

One detail I really like here: the distances are not set in stone.

You can design the area before the exercise, but once the ball starts moving, you may realise that the space is too big or too small for the intensity and behaviours you want.

In the video you can actually see Raff Moro @raffaele_moro repositioning the cones while the exercise is running, adjusting the distances without stopping the flow.

The dimensions should serve the objective — not the other way around.

6v3 or 5v2 — which variation do you prefer for transitional rondos? 👀

Reaction + Power Warm-Up ⚡️ @michael.valkanis_official

A simple competitive reaction game designed by Raff Moro @raffaele_moro for Brisbane Roar FC ⚫️🟠@brisbaneroarfc

Players have to react instantly to the Raffa’s command:

➡️ RIGHT — move to the pole on the right
⬅️ LEFT — move to the pole on the left
🔴⚪️ RED / WHITE — react and grab the corresponding cone before your opponent
📣 WHISTLE — sprint forward, collect your bib and race back to attach it to your pole before your opponent

The whistle changes the physical demand of the exercise. What starts as a short, sharp reaction game becomes an explosive acceleration and power competition over a longer distance.

A nice way to combine reaction speed, competitiveness and explosive actions within the warm-up. ⚡️

Who wins your team’s reaction race? 👀

🏃‍♂️⚽️ Conditioning 3v2 + 1 Shooting Drill by Michael Valkanis @michael.valkanis_official and Iacopo La Rocca @iacopolarocca

As Brisbane Roar @brisbaneroarfc continue pre-season preparations for the 2026 A-League, the distances in this 3v2 shooting practice are deliberately kept longer to increase the physical demands of the session @raffaele_moro

The structure:

⚽️ 2 attackers work against 2 defenders, representing the two holding midfielders
🔄 A bouncer operates around the D, in front of the CB line in a game scenario
🚫 The bouncer can combine but cannot score
🎯 The attacking pair must use the bouncer to create an opening and find a shooting position

Longer distances add the conditioning element — repeated high-intensity movements while still demanding quality combinations and finishing.

Can you create the shot through the 2v2 + 1 advantage?

Leave it to Raffa Moro @raffaele_moro to turn a recovery session into a competitive game 😀

Welcome to Connect 4 at Brisbane Roar @brisbaneroarfc 🟠⚫️ @michael.valkanis_official @timschleiger.coach @andybernal66

Players race to place their marker, but it’s not just about speed. Communication, decision-making, awareness, and teamwork all come into play as they try to outsmart the opposition.

It’s competitive.
It’s fun.
And without realising it, the players are sharpening their reactions and keeping their minds switched on.

Sometimes the best recovery sessions are the ones where players forget they’re recovering.

Would your team enjoy this one? 👇

⚽️ Position-Specific Top-Up | Right Back @michael.valkanis_official
By Raffa Moro @raffaele_moro and our Brisbane Roar FC 🟠⚫️ @brisbaneroarfc Performance department @timschleiger.coach @andybernal66

A position-specific individual session for Tate Russell @tate.russ designed to replicate the technical and tactical demands of a full-back.

The exercise starts with a series of one-twos in the wide area, simulating recycling possession.

Three mini goals are placed in the channel, each representing a different passing option:

⚪ White – Short pass down the line
🩷 Pink – Long pass down the line
🟡 Yellow – Short pass inside

The coach calls out a colour, and the player must instantly recognise the cue and distribute the ball into the corresponding mini goal.

Then comes the attacking action.

📢 “Go in behind!”

The full-back immediately attacks the space down the channel, receives a second ball, delivers into the fourth mini goal inside the box, and then recovers quickly back to the starting position.

A simple way to combine:
✅ Position-specific passing
✅ Cognitive decision-making
✅ Timing of attacking runs
✅ Crossing under fatigue
✅ Recovery runs

Would you use position-specific top-ups like this with your full-backs? 👇

⚽️ Keep your players mentally sharp on MD-1 🧠⚡
Brisbane Roar FC 🟠⚫️ @brisbaneroarfc @michael.valkanis_official

The day before a match isn’t about exhausting players—it’s about keeping them fresh, focused, and ready to compete @timschleiger.coach @andybernal66

This reaction game, led by our S&C coach Raffa Moro @raffaele_moro , challenges players to process information before reacting.

Rules:
🔵 “Right” → Sprint to the blue cone and back.
🔴 “Left” → Sprint to the red cone and back.
🎺 Whistle → Sprint out of the playing area.

Commands like “Blue”, “Red”, “Go”, or any other words are simply noise designed to mislead the players. They must ignore the distractions and react only to the correct cues.

For the second round, change the commands or have the players face the opposite direction to break the pattern and increase the cognitive challenge.

Simple. Competitive. Effective.

Would you use reaction games like this in your MD-1 activation? 👇

⚫️🟠 2026 A-League Pre-Season with Brisbane Roar FC @brisbaneroarfc

Recovery is just as important as training.

Sunday morning on the beach with our Head of Performance, Tim Schleiger @timschleiger.coach , combining mobility, movement, recovery, and a cold-water swim after a demanding week of work.

Love seeing Andy Bernal @andybernal66 sharing his experience and mentoring the younger players. That’s how culture is built 👏

Great morning with the Brisbane Roar family 🧡🖤 @michael.valkanis_official

⚽️ Keep your players focused under fatigue 🧠🔥

After intense physical work, the challenge isn’t just to keep running—it’s to keep thinking.

Our S&C coach Raffa Moro @raffaele_moro puts Milorad Stajic @stajic.77 through an individual top-up that combines physical load, cognitive decision-making, and technical execution.

The coach calls out a sequence of numbers, and the player must sprint to the corresponding poles before finishing the action with a pass into the mini goal.

Football is a game of decisions. The best players maintain their quality of execution even when they’re exhausted @andybernal66

Great work by Raffa Moro and Milorad Stajic at Brisbane Roar FC @brisbaneroarfc 👏 @michael.valkanis_official

Would you use cognitive challenges like this in your conditioning sessions? 👇
