JUMPS, CONE WEAVE, FORWARD, BACKWARD

Jump backwards, sprint forward

Make two lines of cones 5m apart.

Starting at the first line jump backwards 2-5 times then sprint forward to the second line.

Forward and lateral cone weave

Create a line of 6 cones 2m apart.

Sprint forward, weaving through the cones - up and back.

Avoid contact with cones try skipping and sidestepping.

Forward backward forward backward

Sprint forward 5-7m then turn and sprint backwards for 5-7m and repeat for 30m.

Use cones to mark transitions.

Move as fast as possible changing direction in one movement.

BENEFITS

Move quickly and efficiently

Identify the concept of acceleration

Technique

Proprioception

Balance and control

Coordination/ Rhythm

BEGINNERS ADVICE
BEGINNERS ADVICE

Begin slower to allow the body to become organised and acquainted with the pattern, then build up speed and confidence.

Practice the transition from forward to backwards.

CHALLENGE
CHALLENGE

Increase/decrease the distance depending on what the intention is (change of direction / sustaining speed /technique).

Build the amount of repetitions from 1-5.

Work in pairs, allowing one student to provide feedback.

Working in 3's with all student moving together throughout the cones.

Students may consider a different formation of the cones, or different pattern within the grid.

ADJUSTMENTS / WHAT TO LOOK FOR
ADJUSTMENTS / WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Sharp changes of direction.

Smooth movement.

Preparing for the change of direction upon approach to each cone.
