Inside the Practice

Exercise Objectives: This exercise can be used as a anaerobic fitness drill as part of your fitness session.

Coaching Pointers:
Position 2 players per flag pole, plus 4 more at one flag pole. The flag pole with 6 will be the starting position. To start, 4 players from the starting position sprint to the next flag pole. When they reach the next flag pole 2 of the players stay there.

The other 2 run to the next flag pole and rest. As soon as the first group hit the first flag pole, 2 players join them and sprint the length of 2 flags. The whole concept is for each pair to sprint 2 flags and rest. On each sprint they will be paced by 2 players. Each circle completed equals 160 yards. Record total distance sprinted.
