Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

With feet together jump over the mini hurdles as quickly as possible, pumping the arms to increase speed.

COACHING POINTS

To make this harder you could:

  • Space hurdles further apart.
  • Get players to jump on the spot once before jumping over the next hurdle.
  • Layout hurdles in a shape which means players must change direction as they jump.
