Are you sick and tired of the same old boring training drills? Do you need to spice things up on a cold Tuesday night? Well, La Liga side CD Leganés have the answer to all your problems.
The Spanish club have revolutionised a standard exercise ball with a unique assault course to increase spacial awareness.
A player must use the famous "dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge" techniques used by the likes of Peter La Fleur, Steve the Pirate and Gordon to avoid contact from the exercise ball.

In the meantime, the main objective for the player is to collect all four bibs from each cone.
Reckon you and your mates could give this a go?
In the above clip, La Liga outfit Leganes, who suffered a 5-0 defeat to Real Madrid on Wednesday night, used a square to perform the incredible drill but you could easily modify the drill to your preference.

"Have you ever seen a training routine more enjoyable than Leganes" said one Twitter user, while another said: "Sometimes you do wonder who comes up with some of the warm up routines and training drills in football"
If that drill isn't for you, then don't worry. We have an alternative option for goalkeepers.
Italian side Bologna gave us a glimpse into the future this year when they released footage of their creative goalkeeper training sessions.

Championship side Norwich City started the trend with their 'spikeball' drill that involves a trampoline and four goalkeepers, but the Serie A side, who are managed by the legendary Filippo Inzaghi, have outdone them with a series of genius maneuvers.
The club have designed exercises to engage players and test their reaction times, using objects that can direct the ball in a number of different directions.
As we know by now, Sunday League football rules state that one player must warm up the goalkeeper by smashing balls at him before-kick off.

No fancy equipment is needed, just a rock hard Mitre ball and goalposts.
In a standard team though, you might have a back up goalkeeper if your lucky, so the last thing you'd expect to see on a muddy, wet Sunday is a trampoline in the middle of a pitch, surrounded by four shot-stoppers.
Championship side Norwich City have brought in a unique training drill that makes us Sunday League players look a bit daft.

'Spikeball' takes a huge amount of skill but it looks like a barrel of laughs.
The temptation to buy a pair goalkeeper gloves and try this out in my neighbour's garden right now is very strong.
