CONDITIONING  PROGRAM  GUIDELINES

 

      You will have two workouts a week to complete. To follow the program, look at the week and the workout you are at and go down the column. For example, if you are on your first week and the first workout of the week, look under WK 1/1 etc.
     At the bottom of this page is a link to each session of a 16 week conditioning program.  Although it is specifically for the 1989-1990 group, the maximum times are given for the 1987-1988 and 1985-1986 groups. A description of each exercise is given.

 

Exercise                    Description:

Plyometrics: Rest 60 seconds between each set.
Squat Jump: Squat down until your thigh is about parallel to the ground, explode forcefully and jump as high as possible. It's like a rebound in basketball. Make sure that you squat down on your heels and push firm your toes as you get off the ground. Also, land softly on the ball of your feet.
Triple Jump: Do three consecutive broad jumps for distance. Make sure you don't stop between each jump.
Penta-Jump: Do five consecutive broad jumps for distance. Make sure you don't stop between each jump.
Skater Jump: In place, jump from side to side. For example, start on left leg, push off to the right, land on the right leg, immediately push off on the right leg to the left, land on the left leg, etc. It's like a speed skater.

Starts: Each start is followed by a 10 yard sprint. Rest 20-30 seconds between each start.
Push Up: Get down on the ground on your belly. Hands should be in a push up position. On a signal push up and sprint out 10 yd.
Seated: Sit facing the opposite direction of where you will be sprinting. On a signal, get up and turn and sprint 10 yd. Make sure to alternate the side you turn on as you are getting up from your seated-position.
On Back: On Back: Lay on your back. On a signal, roll over and get up and finish with a 10 yd sprint. Make sure to alternate the side you roll over to.
Forward Roll: From a crouch down position, perform a forward roll, get up and sprint out 10 yd. Make sure to tuck your head in when you forward roll.
Backward Roll: From a crouch down position, facing the opposite direction of where you will sprint, perform a backward roll, get up and sprint out 10 yd. Again make sure to tuck your head in as you backward roll.
Head N' Go: From a standing position, simulate a header and sprint out 10 yd. If you have someone who can throw a ball to you, that's even better. Make sure to alternate offensive and defensive headers.
Falling: From a standing position, put your toes on a line and let yourself fall forward until you have to take a step and sprint out 10 yd.

Speed: Make sure to sprint at as fast as you can, don't hold back You can only get faster by running fast. Resting times for each distance are as follows: 60 yd. =60 seconds, 40 yd. =40 seconds, 30 yd= 30 seconds, 20 yd= 20 seconds, and 10 yd= 15 seconds.

* Measure out the described distance and perform all out sprints. Make sure to follow the resting times prescribed.


Agility: Rest for 30-40 seconds between each repetition for the following exercises:
W-drill, 5 yd-10 yd-5 yd and Star Drill For the 5 yd-10 yd-15 yd, rest 60 seconds. Run at the highest speed you can without losing control as you change direction.
W-Drill: You need five cones. Make the letter W with the cones placing them 5 yards apart.
 

a. Sprint: Sprint around the cones. Concentrate on making good cuts.

 

b. Sprint + Backpedal: Sprint to the first cone, backpedal back to the second cone, sprint to the third etc.

 

c. Shuffle + Sprint: Shuffle to the first cone, sprint to the second cone, shuffle to the third cone etc.

5 yd-10 yd-5 yd: You need three cones. Place two cones 10 yd apart; place the third cone in the middle. Start at the middle cone, on a signal sprint 5 yd to the cone to the right of you, touch the cone with your hand and change direction and start sprinting to the furthest cone away from you, i.e., 10 yd, touch the cone and change direction and sprint to the middle cone and finish by touching the middle cone. Alternate direction of your start, i.e., start to the left some times and start to the right some times.
Star Drill: You need five cones. Make a square box with four cones 5 yd apart. Place the fifth cone in the middle of the box. Start in the middle, sprint to one of the comers and back to the middle, sprint to a different comer and back to the middle until you have touched all four comers. Do not run a long diagonal, always make a cut at the middle cone.
5 yd-10 yd-15 yd: Measure three points, 5 yd, 10 yd, and 15 yd. Place a cone on these spots.
 

a. Sprint: Sprint 5 yd and back, 10 yd and back, and 15 yd and back.

 

b. Sprint + Backpedal: Sprint 5 yd and backpedal back, sprint 10 yd and backpedal back, and sprint 15 yd and backpedal back.
