COACHING POINTS

Drill 1: You might like to play some music whilst players are jogging.

Drill 2: To add to the competitive element you could place a ball on top of each cone and the first player to snatch the ball is the winner.

Drill3: Depending on the age of your players you might like to decrease/ increase the number of back and forth runs - possibly even doing an extra set with older, fitter players.
