DESCRIPTION

Step forward with one leg.
Bend down with body upright. Make that the knee does NOT pass the line with the big toe on the floor.

Do the same with the other leg.

COACHING POINTS

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 repetitions - hold for 3 seconds.
2. older players: 3 series of 10 repetitions - hold for 5 seconds.
