Athletic work in 30-15 with the ball on 4 stations

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.

Animation: Athletic work in 30-15 with the ball on 4 stations
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:
  1. Station 1: poles (or constri-foot) to create a series of slaloms, with a supply of balls. Players must slalom between the poles.
  2. Station 2: 5 to 6 hoops randomly placed on the ground with a supply of balls. Players must maneuver around the hoops.
  3. Station 3: a few balls. Players must perform a series of passes using multiple balls simultaneously.
  4. 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.
