BOW TIE AGILITY DRILL

Using four cones to make a 3 m square, students run diagonally forward, laterally across, diagonally backwards and laterally across. The path of the runner is in the shape of a sideways bow-tie.

The aim is to perform this activity quickly and effectively.

Move as fast as possible around each cone, attempting to change direction efficiently in one movement by driving off from the outside foot then quickly accelerating.

In order to move effectively the centre of gravity must be kept low, and the body must be ready to move quickly.

Groups of 3 students. One performs, one rests whilst the other is ready to go.
