This drill is built for players who want real speed with the ball, not fake-fast jogging touches. Burn the Grass, Break the Turn forces you to explode from a dead stop, attack the gate at full pace, and touch the ball every single step to keep total control under max speed. At the gate, you snap into a sharp, efficient turn, then fire back toward the start line with the same urgency and technical discipline.

The goal is simple: accelerate faster, stay tighter on the ball, and waste zero movement. This session trains your first-step burst, your ability to turn at speed without losing the ball, and your habit of finishing reps with intention, not coasting.

Fast feet, clean touches, ruthless acceleration — in controlled chaos, every step counts.

Drill Set Up:

• Begin by placing down 1 cone.

• Turn right and take 2 steps, place down the 2nd cone.

• Turn left and take 15 steps, placing down the 3rd cone.

• Turn left again and take 2 steps, placing down the 4th cone.

• You should have 2 gates, 15 steps apart from each other.

Drill Directions:

• Begin in a stationary position with your strong foot behind the ball.

• Sprint as quickly as you can to the gate directly ahead of you, focusing on taking a touch after every step.

• Perform a sharp turn at the gate and sprint while maintaining control quickly back.

• Rest for 15 seconds.

• Perform the same with your weak foot.

• Rest for 30 seconds.

• Complete 6 repetitions of the above and then rest for 2 minutes.

• Perform this drill an additional 2 times for the best results.
