Run the soccer drill
- Place the arms across the chest.
- Keep the chest up and maintain the arch in the back.
- Sit the hips back on the lunge, step to the side and slowly move to stretch.
- Players should complete three lunges to the left and three to the right, then rest for 30 seconds. This is one set of lunges and players should do three sets, then build it up.
Advance the drill
- Get your players to move while they are doing the lunge.
- Use two cones to set up a distance the players have to move across doing the lunge, between five and 10 yards.
- Get them to do the drill once across, then once back.
