Once agilities are finished all players are in the end zone and the head coach can now gather them up quickly for team announcements, team building speeches and such. Once stretching is complete, all players collapse forward to the man on the goal line, turn and face the opposite goal. 20 X Coach 15 10 5 CPPPP CPPPP CPPPP CPPPP Goal Line After all players have collapsed into agility lines coach calls out “READY POSITIONS”…all players in front respond “hit” from the break down position together….keep asking until they respond together in formation. Agilities to include butt kicks, knee highs, karakoe, slide steps, lunges and sprints to finish. One rep each down and then back again after all lines have finished.
