High Knee Punches                                    



Coaching Points:

With a partner holding the ball, the player lifts his knee, and touches the ball.
The player doing the exercise can feel better than anyone their limits, so they must tell the player with the ball to raise it (if it is too easy), or lower it (if it is too difficult).This constant re-assessment is vital.

Alternate punches with the left knee, followed by the right knee.

Music with a constant beat is a fantastic tool for helping this rhythmic movement.

There are also a number of different ways of using these drills.

1. 40 repetitions.

2. 3 x 20 repetitions.

3. 30 seconds work, with maximum touches.
