Setup

Three 8-yard grids, three players working possession in each — and every time you reset, they sprint flat out to a pole.

１）Split your 12 players into 4 groups of 3

２）Set up three 8-yard grids

３）Put one group of 3 in each grid and keep one group on standby

４）On the whistle, the three players in each grid start playing possession with one ball

５）On your next whistle, everyone leaves the grid and sprints to a pole

６）Once they reach the pole, the standby group jumps into the next grid

７）Each group works 2–3 minutes straight

８）Run 3 rounds total, with 30 seconds of rest between rounds
