Cones (recommended)

Start on the line, take two steps to clear the cone (or any other marker: bottle, bag) placed one yard away, then run ten yards at full speed. Alternate between the inside and outside without calling out which side.

Key points

  • The first step should be short and under the body, not long.
  • The shoulders should pass the cone before the torso.
  • Six starts per side, with a full recovery between each one.
  • In a group, with a ball: your partner throws to you as you come out of the break. Same movement, plus the catch.

Common mistakes

  • Taking a false step sideways before starting.
  • Standing up on the second step: that’s where the speed goes.
