Description and Graphics
This soccer speed exercise opens the door to lots of variations. We could determine how the players perform the zig-zag movements between the sticks or mannequins, or how they have to turn around the last stick. How steps they perform between the hurdles, or which body position they should use above the hurdles. And we can also determine the technique of the passes or the headers to the goal.
