Barcelona Turning to Run Drill

.
 

Exercise Objectives:
This drill will enhance each player’s speed, agility and awareness.

 

Coaching Pointers:

Divide your team into 2 equal groups. Team up players by speed. Place colored cones as in the diagram above. On the coaches “command” players go flat out and race to the “orange cones” at the opposite end of the grid. As the players race to the “orange cones” the coach can call out “turn”. If he does then the players must turn quickly and run back to the starting line.

If the coach calls out “Yellow” or “Blue” the players must turn and sprint to that cone, then race back to the starting line.

 

Field Preparation:

  • Area 10 yards x 10 yards.
  • 3 sets of different colored cones (can use bibs as markers).
