Prepping for the fall season? Use these four conditioning drills to boost your fitness this summer, and show your coach how ready you are!
20/40’s Drill
- Start on one end line.
- Sprint 100 yards in maximum 20 seconds.
- Hit the 100 yard mark and immediately pivot to jog back to your starting point (another 100 yards). You have 40 seconds to do so.
- That counts as one rep. Do a total of 20 reps.
25 Yard Shuttle Test
- Start on one end line.
- Sprint out to the closest 5 yard interval (5 yard line) and work your way out to the 25 yard line. (This is similar to a suicide drill).
- Focus on timing out your pivot when you reach each line. Being able to efficiently pivot will greatly improve your ability to change directly fast and effectively.
- For time and rep requirements, follow the time interval chart below.
