Sprint in opposite directions

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players

Setup

A start and an end cone as well as two further slalom cones are set up according to the graphic. In front of the starting cone, the players line up one behind the other. There should be no more than 5-8 players per station.

Procedure

The player sprints to the first slalom cone, circles it and runs backwards to the second slalom cone. He circles that too, then sprinted through to the end cone. As soon as the player has reached the first cone, the next starts, and so on.

Tip

- Backward run => The legs are moved backwards in an angled position on the footpads. The arms are bent and move in the opposite direction. The upper body is bent slightly forward. - When sprinting, start in step position on the footpad. At the beginning the upper body is bent far forward, the center of gravity is at hip level, the view goes down. After pressing firmly over the footpad, the upper body is gradually straightened up, the gaze lifts and the step frequency increases. The arms are actively moved alternately with the leg movement (the right leg goes forward, the left arm goes forward and vice versa). After the first 3-4 steps on the footpad, roll over the entire foot (heel-> sole-> footpad), the upper body is upright and calm, the step frequency increases to the maximum. - 4 cones
