A Sprint Conditioning Routine "Brackets"

Our Sprint Conditioning will consist of the following Routines:


Brackets every practice (will help build speed):

• Your rest periods will be 1 minute between each sprint.

• You will only be sprinting to either a 15, 30 or 60 yard marked distance.

• When sprinting 15 yards you will start from a push-up position lying flat on your

stomach.

• When sprinting 30 yards you will start from a lateral position (similar to stealing

a base.)

• When sprinting 60 yards you will start from a normal two point athletic stance.

• You will complete all of the 15 yard sprints before moving onto the 30’s and so

on.


Bracket 1.

15 yard sprint = 5x (times)

30 yard sprint = 3x

60 yard sprint = 1x


Bracket 2.

15 yard sprint = 1x

30 yard sprint = 5x

60 yard sprint = 3x


Bracket 3.

15 yard sprint = 3x

30 yard sprint = 1x

60 yard sprint = 5x
