Conditioning: Five dot jump Conditioning drills are effective in training and helping athletes be strong and reactive.
This drills intention is to help quickness and accuracy on the field which will reduce errors and increase the chances of great plays.
In order to execute the drill you will need a place with five dots, either marked on the grass or on a mat, forming an x shape much like the dots for the number five side of dice.
The player will start by placing a foot on the back two dots and then jumps together to the middle dot and then out separating his legs to the outer dots, much like you would see in hop scotch.
Next proceed around the dots one at a time jumping with one leg only, and then change to the other leg.
Then continue around the dots with both legs together.
The last step is the same as the first hop scotch method but this time when the player reaches the other side they will turn around on the two dots.
Because this drill is intended for accuracy and speed, it is recommended that players start out slow and deliberate and then speed up to their maximum time.
