Description and Graphics
Players start this soccer speed exercise by placing themselves in the first square. Coach gives a command to start by calling two colors. Players must turn around these two cones in the given order without the ball in the first square and accelerate towards the ball in the second square where players turn around the two cones in the called order but in a different way as the sequence of the markers is different there. After turning the last cone players accelerate towards the sticks with ball where they perform a determined task around the sticks and pass the ball into the goal.
