Screen 1 (10 mins)

⚽Practice Organization

• A good reaction game which stimulates and develops the rection speed
• Good exercise for decision making (red-blue in sharp time)
• 6 mannequins are required
•  Players are required to face the opposite direction to which the coach is positioned
• Coach provides 2 stimuli (sound-whistle) and (visual-red/blue cone) 

⚽Key Coaching Points 

• Players have to initiate their runs by being in a continuous skipping action
• Players, by listening to the whistle have to turn quickly and try detect where the optical stimulus takes place(cone)
• Coach can make the reaction even more difficult by changing positions on the pitch(even harder for the players optical connection)
• Coach can execute many actions with the cones(throw them when the players turn, have them placed next to the players, hide one of them, run and holding one of them in the air)
• Improvise, try to make the reaction even more ''reactive'' and engaging 
• Players have to sprint as fast as possible 
• Players return back after the pass of each respective repetition
