Category: Strength & Conditioning
Type: Drill
MICHIGAN STATE
Set up two coaches, 40 yards apart, and line up your players along the line of one of the coaches. All the players should begin this conditioning drill by getting on their knees, with their feet underneath them, in preparation for squat jumps. The drill involves doing a number of different motions, following by a sprint to the other coach. Feel free to vary the number of sprints and the number and type of exercises.
Execution
1. On the coach’s signal, the players are to rock back onto their heels and do 10 squat jumps.
2. Immediately following their squat jumps, the players sprint to the other coach where they will do 10 sit-ups upon crossing the line he represents.
3. After their ten sit-ups, the players then sprint back to the other coach for 10 up-downs or burpees.
4. Sprint followed by 10 push-ups.
5. Sprint followed by 10 mountain climbers.
6. Sprint followed by 10 heel touches.
7. Sprint followed by 10 jumping jacks
8. Sprint followed by 10 push-ups
9. Sprint one forty-yard dash to finish the drill.
On this conditioning drill, the players can either count for themselves or you can have them all do it as a team. I use this type of conditioning to get the players in shape for the season and for disciplinary reasons. Remember to start at a reasonable level and continue to add reps as the players get into shape.
