In the form of 4 stations, this exercise is ideal for interval training (30-15) while including a fun element with the ball. Perfect for the start of the season or after the winter break.
On a large field, set up 4 stations in each corner of the field. Then ask your players to divide into 4 groups. The stations will consist of:
- Station 1: poles (or constri-foot) to create a series of slaloms, with a supply of balls. Players must slalom between the poles.
- Station 2: 5 to 6 hoops randomly placed on the ground with a supply of balls. Players must maneuver around the hoops.
- Station 3: a few balls. Players must perform a series of passes using multiple balls simultaneously.
- Station 4: only a supply of balls, with one ball per player. They must perform a series of juggles.
The exercise will proceed as follows:
- Each group starts at a different station.
- Each station lasts 30 seconds.
- Along the length of the field, players move from one station to another in a 15-second fast run.
- Across the width of the field, players move from one station to another in a 15-second active recovery.
- You can complete 5 full rounds with 2 minutes of recovery between each round.
