Field setup:

• Place 2 x 4 x 2 pilons next to each other so that two streets of pilons are formed.

The course of play:

• The players have to try to pass exactly through the pilon street and then sprint through it after the ball. 
• Another player (white) receives the ball and dribbles to the other street. 
• There this player does exactly the same towards player 3.
• Player 3 starts again on the same spot as player 1.

Laws of the Game:

• The ball must pass through the pilon street.
• If you hit a pilon, you have to sprint to straighten the pilon and try again.
• The ball must pass all pilons before the receiving player can take it.

• The following exercise contains a lot of speed, agility, coordination, passing and even duelling.
• A speed exercise that can be done at any time of the training.
• Any age group can do this exercise. There are enough variations possible that you can apply yourself.
• With the younger and even the older groups the FUN aspect is also very pleasant.
• You can apply this form of exercise to different distances. It is especially important to look at your age group and what you want to achieve.
• Both players A leave with shoulder to shoulder until they're between the poles.
• (1), They then accelerate around the pilon and go back to the stick
• (2,3). Behind the stick, they go sideways over the hurdles
• (4). Again they go behind the stick and accelerate forward to the stick that's the furthest away.
• (5). Back to the other pole again
• (6) to then get a ball played in from B
• (7) on which A finishes on target
• (8).Player who finishes first wins.
• In the older ages you can have the loser do push-ups or do an extra job.
• At younger ages you add up the points.
• A takes the place of B and B goes to A.
• As a variation, you can have players B throw up the ball so that A has to head the ball inside the goal.
• As you can see, it is all about speed, agility and coordination
• Whoever wins, it's always fun and hard work is done
• Have fun with this speed exercise and let us know what you thought of it
