Learning Outcomes

Technical

Tactical

Physical

player start at poles on command proceed to small hurdle - run through by going over each hurdle on landing open out and run to mid size hurdle-touch with hand then open out and run past cone

key points

knee drive/arm drive

ankle knee hip align

landing flexion at hip and knee

power away

do 2 right then 2 left

1 min active rest with a ball

Repeat as above this time do cross over step on landing

then do linear run through hurdles this time when get to large hurdle turn back around so as to run to tee-pee cone

repeat rest period as above

proceed to larger hurdles now do double leg hops through to end turn and go through next set then back to active rest for 30s do 6 sets

this is a lo- medium level plyometric drill with 84 low level contacts and 42 medium contacts
