Two Players Chest Bump + Sprint

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players

Setup

The station is marked with two start and two end cones placed side by side. Players line up behind the starting cones. No more than 6-10 players per station.

Procedure

The two players jump and bump chests against each other. After landing, they orient themselves toward the end cones and sprint against each other to that point.

Tip

- During the jump, both legs are bent. The arms swing in the opposite running motion. The upper body is upright. - Quick 45-degree turn. - Palms are open, do not make fists. - Light, easy footwork, no stomping or pounding but nimbleness. - Quick, short movements. - Short ground contact time. - For the sprint, start in a staggered stance on the balls of the feet. At the beginning, the upper body leans far forward, the centre of gravity is at hip height, eyes look down. After a powerful push-off through the balls of the feet, the upper body is gradually raised, the eyes lift and the stride frequency increases. The arms move alternately to the leg movement (when the right leg goes forward, the left arm goes forward and vice versa). After the first 3-4 steps on the balls of the feet, the foot rolls through the whole foot (heel to sole to ball of foot), the upper body is upright and steady, stride frequency increases to maximum. - 4 cones
