Follow me on twitter

Great drill for working on multi-direction speed, balance and reaction times.

Player or client simply stands in the middle of the 'pictured' area 5x5. The coach then calls out a colour to which the player reacts by accelerating towards, laterally or backpedalling too.

Coaching Points:

- Athletic Stance

- Player is on the balls on their feet ready to move

- Feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart

Progressions/Variations:

- Call out cones

- Point at cones

- Vary up the movement patterns - shuffle, crossover

- Add more cones

- Increase grid 

Sets of 3-5 with each set lasting between 15-30 seconds

Enjoy thanks for reading...
