Drill Setup

Split the team up into two even teams. The first cone is 5 yards to the first group of cones. There are 5 cones in the group. Each cone in the group is 1 yard apart. Therefore the whole cone set up is 10 yards long. One rep is completed when the athlete passes the final cone in the group. That is when the next athlete will start and do his or her rep.

The animated drill only shows 4 athletes on each team. But in real life you will have anywhere from 8-12 athletes on each team.

There on 4 rep types in this drill. In the animated drill it shows each athlete doing a different rep type in one set. This is to show you what the different rep types exist. When actually doing the drill, each athlete will actually do the same rep type in each set. After one set is completed both teams will then switch to another rep type and everyone will then do that same rep type for that set.

Repeat this drill for 2 sets of 4 reps as a team, giving adequate rest so that the athletes perform each drill fresh. Do this drill 100% speed.
