Pyramids

Killer drill for conditioning and short sprint work.

Instructions

Players start on baseline. Run to one end of court-do one push up, run back to baseline, do two push ups, etc up to fours. Once finished pushups, go to sit ups, burpees and then sprints. Drill should finish with a sprint of four lengths of court.

Variations

Can increase pyramids of four to any number or add more sets (ex-wall taps, step ups).

Tips

Encourage team to cheer on as the last sprints require an extra push.

Skills

Conditioning, stamina, perseverence.

Players

As many as fit on the baseline.
