at any one point of the circuit. This activity can also double as a warm-up.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Players perfom 1 lap of casual low intensity jogging in preparation for the activity. Players then perform 3 laps of the circuit in an anti
clockwise direction. If a limited number of players they can all start from the same point (i.e. top right hand corner of the field, labelled
'start'). Should take players approx 7-8 mins. For the dynamic stretch sections the players perfom the following activities:
Lap 1 =
Fast feet Activity (A) = 2 feet contact through the cones (training bars) in each section (i.e. left and right).
Dynamic Stetch (B) = Walking Lunges
Lap 2 =
Fast feet Activity (A) = Side shuffle (2 feet contact in each section) through the cones (training bars) in each section (i.e. left and right).
Dynamic Stetch (B) = High knees (Also known as knee raises)
Lap 3 =
