Description: |
Procedure:
- Three marker cones are placed to form an “L.” with cones at the corner and at each end, 5 yards apart (see diagram).
- The player starts by getting down in a three-point stance next to Cone 1.
- On the command ‘Go’, he runs to Cone 2, bends down and touches a line with his right hand.
- Then he turns and runs back to Cone 1, bends down and touches that line with his right hand.
- Then he runs back to Cone 2 and around the outside of it, weaves inside Cone 3, then around the outside of Cones 3 and 2 before finishing at Cone 1.
- The player must run forward while altering his running direction, as opposed to strictly stopping and starting in opposite directions. Each time they perform the 3-cone drill for a different side (e.g. first time they curve to the left, second time they curve to the right).
Scoring: The time to complete the test in seconds is recorded. The score is the best time of two trials.
