Purpose
To work on agility, speed, and acceleration
Drill Setup
- Setup 4-6 large tractor tires about 4 yards apart
- Players grab a ball and line up on one end
How it Works
- 1st player in line explodes towards the tire
- Player gets his hips low and extends the off hand to drag it along the tire as the player circles the tire
- Player continues to next tire, queuing next player in line to start as drill continues
Coaching Tips
- Make sure players are keeping their hips low and don’t let their feet drift out from under them – this will throw off their center of gravity and make it more likely that they slip or stumble
- Ball security must be preached at all times!
- Make sure players are keeping the ball tight in their outside hand as they loop the tires
