Set-up

Single file through ladder and cone gates: high knees, lateral shuffles, A-skips, hip circles. Walk back recovery. Four passes through the circuit.

Coaching points

  • Feet quick through the ladder — don't look down
  • Hips loose on the lateral work; this isn't a drill for ego
  • Posture upright; tired players collapse through the trunk first

Progressions

  • Add a ball-carry through the final gate on rounds three and four
  • Introduce a reaction trigger (coach calls left/right) at the exit cone
