Set up a running slalom for your players to run through at the end of their training. It should be approximately 10 by 5m in size.
Jog back to the start line and repeat.
Look for fast small footsteps as players go through the slalom. You also want to see arms pumping for speed and balance.
When running backwards ensure players look over their shoulder.
Once a player has reached the end of the slalom the next player can run. Each player completes 4 circuits.
With senior players you can add extra exercises to the circuit, such as a press up station.
