Speedy feet
Coaching Points:
This is a great
exercise to incorporate in your warm up activity. This drill will help
improve both the quickness of the player's decision making and their foot
reactions.
Divided your group of players into pairs. Each pair has 3 balls. One
player calls the instructions while the other performs the exercise.
Position 3 balls to form a triangle.
The player starts the drill by jogging slowly in place, between the 3
balls.
On the partners command, the player touches the top of the ball with the
sole of the foot,as quickly as possible. The challenge is for the player
not only to perform the drill quickly, but also select the correct ball.
Each ball is labeled in the following order;
One, Two and Three
Red, Green, Blue
Jack, Queen, King
The partner calls out series of commands for the player
to perform. If the partner calls out "Three" the player must touch ball
#3. If the partner calls out "Queen" the player must touch ball labeled
Queen etc.
Keep the pace fast and the player should prevent moving the balls when
they touch them.
Add your own categories and see how many things they can remember under
pressure. Rotate every 60 seconds. Repeat 3 times each.
