Stand on 1 almost stretched leg and hold your balance.
Hold this position.
Do the drill also on the other leg.
Do this drill after a good warming-up.
Work with series and repetitions.
Don't overload your players!
Start with lighter series, less repetitions and less seconds.
e.g.
1. 12-14 year olds: 3 series of 5-8 repetitions - hold for 30 seconds.
2. older players: 3 series of 10 repetitions - hold for 60 seconds.
Variations:
- bent your knee slowly (knee may NOT pass the big to on the floor)
- close your eyes: balancing becomes a lot harder!
