Progressive movement lanes

Setup & sequence

Pairs in parallel lanes; leave a clear buffer between lanes. No balls.

1. Walk to the far marker; return outside the lane.
2. Add a relaxed jog while keeping space from your partner.
3. Change direction on a clear signal, then walk back.

Before you start

Clear, non-slip floor; comfortable walking.

2–4 players per station. With four, the player without a ball observes one cue or rehearses footwork in clear space; rotate every five attempts. For 12 players: three groups of four, provided lanes remain separated.

Starting dose

4 minutes: easy walking, light jogging, then controlled direction changes.

Observe & correct

Cue: Build pace gradually; finish balanced.

Error → correction: Players cross lanes: shorten the route and keep one direction per lane.

Observable outcome: Each player finishes four controlled changes without entering another lane.

Adapt to the group

Easier: Stay at walking pace.

Harder: Add a late left/right signal without a sprint.

Alternative setup: Use existing floor lines instead of cones.
