Form Running Drill

Form Running  Drill

This drill is designed to help improve players running techniques.

POINTS OF EMPHASIS

• • Check hip movement

  • Lift knees high

  • 90 degree angle of the elbows and keep elbows in

  • Don’t allow the arms to cross into the body

  • Faster arms will result in faster feet

SETUP 

Set up four lines for this running drill

The coach moves backward at a slow pace keeping the runners in front of him—Speed (forward progress) is not a factor in this drill –the object is more foot “reps”.

• • Run back to the starting point using “butt kicks”

  • Repeat by doing ”high-skips”—opposite arm/opposite leg

  • Return to the starting point using longer stride run
