Agility & Reaction

Session Organization:

  • Field: Two different colored cones (Blue & Red) placed next to each other with the inverse order of those color cones placed ~3 yards away. Separate
  • Players: Minimum 2 players start on each starting cone (Yellow)
  • Players run to the colored cones and wait for coach to call which color. 
  • Whichever color is called, player moves to that side of the cones and accelerates through the channel to rejoin the back of the opposite line.
  • Next player in line moves up to the cones as the runner approaches the opposite side.

Coaching Points:

  • Agility comes with the first steps, keep body position low and stay on toes. 
  • Emphasis is on players staying light on their feet and quick reaction time.

Progressions:

  • Call out colors of cones that are not on the field to create confusion and make sure players are paying attention.
  • Add a ball to convert this to a dribbling & control oriented drill.
