How it works
Develop multi-component athleticism by combining jumping, sprinting, and dribbling in a sequential circuit.
What you need
- field hockey stick
- field hockey ball
- cones
- agility ladder
Your focus
Combining multiple physical qualities in one circuit mimics the mixed demands of field hockey. Transitioning between jumping and sprinting and dribbling improves kinesthetic adaptability. Circuit training builds work capacity appropriate for youth athletes.
Set up: agility ladder, then 10-yard sprint zone, then a 10-yard dribble course with 3 cones.
Player performs two-foot hops through all rungs of the agility ladder.
Sprint to the first cone of the dribble course.
Dribble through the 3 cones and finish; rest and repeat 3 times.
Goal
You're there when the jump, sprint, and dribble flow together without a restart pause between each element.
Helpful cues
- High knees through the ladder
- Drive your arms in the sprint
- Settle the ball quickly when you pick it up to dribble
