Description
The running part of the FIFA 11+ programme. Pairs jog through a course of cone pairs, do one exercise at each pair, then return on the outside. The animation shows the circling partner exercise.
Organisation
Six pairs of cones, 5 to 6m apart across the lane and about 5m apart along it. Two players start at the first pair. Do each exercise twice: straight jog, hip out, hip in, circling partner, shoulder contact, and quick forwards and backwards.
Coaching points
- Keep the upper body straight.
- Land softly on the balls of the feet with the knees bent.
- Keep the knee over the foot. Do not let it fall inwards.
- Increase the speed on the way back only.
