Set-Up
Make a circle with markers – one for each player.
If you have a large number of players, make two (or three) circles.
The size of the circle will depend on the age of your team and how much of a work-out you want to give them – but even a small circle is good enough if you do the drill at pace.
Procedure
Couldn’t be simpler – you just shout out instructions!
“2 left”
“3 right, 1 left”
“2 right, centre, 1 left”
(Centre means run to the middle of the circle AND BACK)
Variations
The drill can be done with or without a ball.
Specify the type of steps they have to use between each marker, i.e., sidesteps or turn and run.
