Abstract
Objective of the study was to test and analyze benefits of a new training program for amateur footballers to stay fit throughout the competitive season.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled for the educational experiment the 25.1±5.9 year-old and 181.7±2.9 cm tall players of Kolomna Football Club from Moscow Oblast who played in the 2019-20 season in Division III Group A in the Moscow Oblast Qualifiers for the Russian Football Cup; and split them up into Control and Experimental Group. The Experimental Group training system included 12 weekly micro-cycles in the first round of the 2019-20 competitive season, with every of them having two technical and tactical trainings and one calendar match per week, with a special priority to the special physical fitness.
Results and conclusion. The program was tested beneficial as verified by a significant progress of the Experimental Group due to the special static/ dynamic strength workouts and interval high-intensity sprint trainings that helped not only maintain the aerobic and speed-strength fitness elements but also significantly improve them within the limited seasonal timeframe.

Keywords: amateur footballer, sport shape, Division III, training process.
