Soccer Exercise
Two-Three Metre Build-Up + Sprint
- 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. Players line up one behind the other in front of the start cone. No more than 5-8 players per station.
Procedure
The player deliberately does not start at full speed. He should focus entirely on the correct sprint starting motion, intensively pushing off on the balls of the feet for the first 2-3 metres and developing the best possible body feel. Only then does he transition into the sprint to the end cone.
Tip
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
