It really depends on how seriously you want to take the sport. I used to practice with the team 3 times a week, 2 hours per session back when I played for them. It would consist purely of physical training and drills. Only near the end of each session would we have a kickabout. This was when I actively played in tournaments of course and how we prepared for the MFL a few years back. Even then we only finished second behind Steven's Corner FC. Not sure if they still have a team. But yeah, nothing beats actual training and conditioning plays a big role.

Same goes for drinkers, especially those that drink at least 4 times a week
