Defending
5star plyometrics

Pete McLean

a) Jump and stop - jump forward off one foot, land on two. Progressions
- jump, land, explode into a jump stop
- jump, land, jump, jump, hold

b) Double jump lateral off two feet (jump, jump).

c) Using cones

- forward two-foot jumps (pull knees into chest)
- lateral two-foot jumps
- while moving forward, lateral jump side to side over the wall of cones (shown).

d) Graduated cones, 1-2-3-4 yards apart - forward two-foot jumps.

Impact time should be short, for quick feet.
