One Bounce through the Legs


Exercise Objectives:
This is a good exercise to incorporate into your warm up. It develops both flexibility and coordination.
 
Field Preparation
   1 Player
   Area 5 x 5 Yards
   1 Ball
 
Coaching Pointers:
Each player has a ball. With legs open wide, the player drops the ball from behind and towards their legs. The ball has to bounce once through the legs for the player to bend over and catch.

Work for 60 seconds then move onto next warm up activity.

The coach should emphasize the following points:
  • Legs should be open wide.
  • Transfer quickly from leaning backwards to bending forward.
  • Develop a rhythm to your movement.
  • Start slowly then increase pace.
