Footwork and acceleration drill
Around the Academy:

Frappier footwork board
The Frappier board can improve your football skills
This footwork drill will help you to speed up your footwork and speed in a match situation.

Equipment

To do the drill correctly, you need to make a Frappier four square plyometric pattern.

It is made up of two lines of 48 inches forming four squares of 24 inches in each direction.

How do I do the drill?

Begin at box number one and with both feet together jump from box to box as fast as possible.

Try to keep your centre of gravity in the middle of the area and only move the lower part of the body.

  • Box 1-2 for 20 seconds (s)
  • Box 1-2-3 for 20 secs
  • Box 1-3-2 for 20 secs
  • Box 1-2-3-4 for 20 secs

    Now move onto single legs and jump between the numbered areas in a hopping motion.

  • Box 1-2 for 10s (left and right feet)
  • Box 1-2 for 10s (left and right feet)
  • Box 1-2 for 10s (left and right feet)
  • Box 1-2 for 10s (left and right feet)
