1. Develop Aerobic Capacity
2. Develop Threshold Capacity.

• Drill No:               Ae8
• Age:                    12-Adult
• No Players:        2+
• Difficulty:            Easy
• Area/Time:         Half Pitch  (25-30 mins)

Players perfom 1 lap of casual low intensity jogging in preparation for the activity.  Partner up the players, attempting to make equal speed teams.  Total exercise time shoould be approx.  25-30 mins.  Players perform the following:

All players start at the start position (A) in their pairs:

1) One player of each pair run (sprint) around the outside of one half of the field.  This player holds either a pinnie or cone as a baton (black lines).
2) Whilst this players runs around the perimeter of half the field the other player (red lines) walks (jogs) across the pitch half way line to meet up with them when they get to the intersection of the half way line at the other side of the field.
3) As the pair meets back up the first player passes the baton (pinnie/cone) to the second player, who now runs the other  half of the field.
4) The player who completed the first sprint walks/jogs back across the pitch half following the half way line to meet up with them when they reach the start position again.  This equals one lap.

Teams perform 6 laps (i.e. 6 sprints each) = 1 set.  This should take approx. 6 mins (1 min per lap).

Recover for 3.5 mins.

Repeat for a second set of 4 laps.

Slow jog of of 2 laps to finish and cool down.

1. Good technique on the dynamic stretches and also the fast feet activities.  Monitor both hand/arm and feet movement.

• Addition of a 3rd set of only 4 laps.

• Reduce the rest period to 2 minutes to increase the intensity of the activity.
• Stagger the start point for winning teams, to make their subsequent bouts much harder.
