Ring Drills

Purpose

To work on agility and flexibility while getting the players loose.

Drill Setup

• You’ll need 3-4 hula hoops. You can set them all up separately, or have a two hoop circuit.

How it Works

1. The first player in line will sprint forward, and then lean over to put their hands down on the ring as they run around in a loop.
2. Players should be focusing on getting a good lean and staying balanced and in control.

Coaching Tips

• Change up the route – figure 8s, around the world, players should get comfortable changing direction at full speed.
• You’ll also want to change up how they run through the rings – you can have them sprint to start, but make sure to mix in some shuffles, facing both inside and outside.
