Footwork - Agility
Focus on improving your agility and coordination with this easy warmup.
Equipment required: 6 cones.
1. Set up cones (or other items) in a straight line, 50 to 70cms apart depending on your height.
2. Run between the cones in a zig zag motion, forward and back.
3. Try to improve your speed and footwork accuracy each set.
Drill progression (+ Footy, 1 training partner):
4. Receive a handball or ground ball from your teammate as you reach the final cone.
5. Return handball and run to the starting cone.
Training guide: Repeat set for 45 sec. 15 sec rest. Repeat x 3.
PUSH yourself: Have your partner alternate the trajectory of each handball. This will force you to keep your eyes up from your feet and ensure better coordination and game awareness.
Safe training recommendation:
Warm up and cool down (pre and post stretching). Wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Take caution if you have a past or existing injury. Train in a safe environment. Follow the recommended program guide for reps and sets as provided.
