OBJECTIVE:

EQUIPMENT:
One ball per group.
GROUP SIZE:
Four.
AREA:
Small.
DRILL EXPLANATION:
- Players, one with a ball, adopt a squat position at the corner of a small square.
- On the coach's signal the ball-carrier passes in a nominated direction and then drops to the ground and does one pushup.
- The next player does the same and the drill continues.
COACHING POINTS:
• Fatigue can spoil the rhythm of the drill... keep them focused.
• Choose groups of similar build.
• Make sure that pushups are real PUSHUPS!
VARIATIONS / PROGRESSION:
Introduce six players to the grid and make a circle. Now do two pushups and a set-up.
