Two-A-Days (football)

Two-A-Days is a term mainly used in American football, but applicable across all sports, that describes when a team or individual trains on two separate occasions during the same day.
Two-A-Days is used primarily to get in shape for the season, and learn new strategies.

Previously, teams ran double sessions and sometimes triple sessions for several weeks during the pre-season. Those practices are called Training Camp, and most teams travel to distant locations to hold their preparations.
