DESCRIPTION

An interval set looking to remind and encourage players to change pace and drive hard at an angle into the mid-court, They then clear at jogging pace, before taking on the drive once again.

  • From corner, 2 players sprint to top of circle
  • Jog out to transverse line, push off outside foot and sprint to central of transverse line.
  • Jog out, then sprint to centre circle.
  • Jog out then sprint to central on next transverse line
  • Jog out then sprint to top of circle, jog out, then sprint to goal post.
  • Jog back to start

Repeat 4-6 times

Progressions/Adaptations: 

  • Change movement types and use as a warm-up drill
  • Pairs to race each other on the sprint section
  • Whlst jogging through the pattern, sprint on coaches whistle (this also means they may also be changing direction at pace)

COACHING POINTS

- Good sprint technique, head up, slight lean in body, bringing knees up fast and use of arms to get momentum, sprinting at full space for 3-4 seconds.

- Pushing off outside foot when transitioning from jog to sprint

- Jog back is recovery and can be taken down to a wlk. KEY is that they have breathe back and second repeat is as strong as the first.
