Mannequin Spin Out Drill

 

 

Exercise Objectives:
This exercise focuses on developing the “spin out move” with a change of pace and change of direction with the ball. It is a short exercise that can be incorporated into any warm up session. 

 

Coaching Pointers:
To start the exercise, divide your team into 2 groups and position them at opposite sides of the grid (see video above). The first player in each group runs at the mannequin and executes a “spin out move” before acceleration into the space behind the mannequin. He continues to the opposite side. The drill is then repeated from the other side. All players rotate through the mannequins in a circular fashion.

Focus on:
Clean technique
Change of Speed
Change of direction


Field Preparation:
Area approximately 20 yards x 20 yards.
Entire group
Agility ladders and cones.
