Soccer Exercise
Sprint from Skipping
- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
- Training Set Main point
- Number of Players 1 - 5 players
Setup
The station is marked with a start and an end cone. 1-2 m in front of the start cone, players line up one behind the other. No more than 5-8 players per station.
Procedure
The player starts with skipping. On a visual signal from the coach, he switches to a sprint and runs to the end cone.
Tip
- Skipping: short, quick movements on the balls of the feet (not flat-footed). The heels must not touch the ground; legs/arms are bent and swing in the natural opposite running motion (right arm/left foot). The upper body leans forward. Short ground contact time, maximum speed. - For the sprint start, begin in a staggered stance on the balls of the feet. Initially the upper body is leaning far forward, the centre of gravity is at hip height, and the eyes look down. After a powerful push-off from the balls of the feet, the upper body gradually straightens, the eyes lift, and the stride frequency increases. The arms move actively in alternation with the legs (right leg forward = left arm forward and vice versa). After the first 3-4 steps on the balls of the feet, the foot rolls through fully (heel to sole to ball of the foot); the upper body is upright and steady, and stride frequency increases to maximum. - 2 cones
