Defending
Line jumps

a) Facing the line

Double-leg forward and back jumps across the line for 10-15 seconds (or 10 jumps on each side). Repeat with single-leg jumps (do right and left)

Progression

- double-leg box pattern jumps e.g., forward, right, back, left
- compass jumps (N, NE, SE, S, SW, NW, always back to the start between jumps)

Variation - front-back shuffle (scissors) across the line (see 5star work-out).

Derek Kellogg

- single-leg line jump - facing the line, 30 seconds back and forth with the right foot, really push the last 10 seconds, take a short break, then 30 seconds with the left foot
- double-leg line jump - 30 seconds, both feet at the same time
- foot square and box jump - 30-second right-foot box square (jump clockwise, make a big box, SE, SW, NW, NE, continue), 30-second break, 30-second left-foot box square (counter-clockwise, SE, NE, NW, SW), break, 30-second box (squat) jumps (squat, explode, reach and extend, turn right about 90 degrees in the air, land, squat, jump, turn left in the air, continue).

b) Facing up the line

Double-leg side-to-side jumps across the line, repeat with single-leg jumps.

Derek Kellogg - two feet side to side for 30 seconds.

Progression - jump forward diagonally back and forth across the line (45 degrees each time).
