Crossover Relays

Video

Set Up:
A relay race where small numbers of players race against each other with a mixture of sidestepping and passing.

Key Factors:
• Encourage players to run with the ball in two hands.
• When stepping, plant outside foot on one side and landing on ball of foot.
• Push off onto other foot and accelerate forward with short, sharp steps.
• Coaches can introduce poles, flags etc into the course so players are sidestepping different objects and at different angles.
