You better being eating huge amounts of food and sleeping every spare minute u get. Squatting 5 times a week n pressing five times a week will burn you out in no time. When doing full body workouts generally 3 days a week is plenty. Eg train mon,wed,fri. You can do conditioning on off days
Thats a very big program for a begginer, What are your main lifts atm?\
I never touched a weight untill a a year and a half ago, Pretty much started on the Begginer BB program, when in consitanst, Progress is great, allows time for recovery, and allows time for sport specific training aswell. Combined with a solid diet you cant go wrong mate.
P.s If your putting 100% into your lifts and going heavy, you will not be ssquatting 2 days in a row. Nor anything for two days in a row, Unles like said as above, Eat and sleep right through till your next session you might be able to recover

gotta agree with this guy here, that's alot of volume and those are generally very taxing movements, your CNS needs time to recover too and 3 times per week will be plenty especially if you are only trying to get in shape for footy
If i was prepping for afl id be piling on the strength work 3 days a week with one day of conditioning. Then at the start of next year work on your endurance and just maintain strength.
Footy players run like 14km a game. You only have a limited window for the strenth component, make the most of it. Working 5 days a week is not how you maximise gains.

It seems a little crazy but wouldn't be impossibly if handled right. I'd suggest an extra rest day and this could be done by reducing one of the weights days to just squat and a press then tacking your plyo work in afterwards.
And just for the sake of your shoulders and tris you could maybe alternate bench press and overhead press through the program rather than doubling up on them all the time.
Might be a bit too much volume, not enough time for recovery if you ask me, thats a lot of squatting i'm all for volume but maybe you should tone it down a little, squats mon-fri, moderately light front squats on wed, same with bench. i'd only bench 3x max if i were you, keep incline as an assistance don't go too hard with it, keep it simple if you have only just started you will see results don't over do it
