GAMES FOR IMPROVING QUICKNESS

Games that incorporate quickness skills are a fun way to increase athletes’ motivation and enthusiasm for training. The quickness games in this section also help athletes develop their situational-movement skills and body awareness.

Red Light, Green Light

This drill improves quickness and teaches athletes how to effectively accelerate and decelerate. Two cones are placed 40 yards (37 m) apart. Athletes should stand by one cone and the coach should stand by the other. On the green light command, the athletes sprint forward as far as possible before the coach yells red light! On this command, the athletes immediately stop in place. When the coach calls green light again, the athletes resume sprinting toward the second cone. The coach continues to call out commands until an athlete passes the second cone.
