The 321 Firecracker Footwork Drill
This is a terrific drill I found online to increase split steps, energy, and explosive movement.
There are either five or six stations with 3 across the baseline and 2 or 3 two feet inside the blue line.
The baseline stations have 3 low plastic discs spread 12-15 inches apart.
Two to three feet in front of those are two discs. All other stations have the same setup.
A player starts behind the first 3 discs and does 3 rapid split steps in place and the third split step lands them
behind the 2 discs where they do 2 rapid splits and land in front of them on the second split.
When they land that split, they explode (like firecrackers under their feet) and go to the next station on the baseline.
***. Young Zoe sparked the firecracker name because without instruction, she exploded to the next station.
This gives California Casual Slow Twitch kids a taste of what the fully engaged kids feel like
and perhaps stimulates them to take it up a few notches.
