Conditioning Drills for Football – 4 Corners

One of my favorite [tag]conditioning drills for football[/tag] is one we call “4 Corners” where you set up 4 cones in the shape of a square about 10-15 yards apart.   This has been a great conditioning tool for our [tag]football[/tag] players.

You separate into 4 groups of equal size.

On the [tag]football coach[/tag]’s whistle, each group lays on their back & does leg lifts on the coaches cadence.   The players count out the # of reps (10 reps), if not they start over.   Upon 10 reps, the players will get up & run clockwise to the next cone.

On the coach’s whistle, each group gets into push up position & begins doing push ups on the coaches cadence. Again, the players count out the # of reps (10 reps).   On the coaches whistle, the players run clockwise to the next cone.

On the coach’s whistle, each group starts to chop their feet & begins doing up downs on the coach’s cadence.   Players count out # of reps (10 reps).

On the coach’s whistle, the players run clockwise to the next cone.   On the coach’s whistle, the players get into sit-up position & begin doing sit-ups on the coach’s cadence.   10 reps.

This [tag]football drill[/tag] has helped our players build up their stamina especially where the # of reps increases as the season progresses.
