Training in soft sand is a sure-fire method for improving speed and first step quickness. You have to work harder to get your legs moving fast and it provides a great form of resistance. Training in sand while running uphill adds an even greater degree of difficulty.

To keep our athletes motivated and competing at DeLuca's we use mini-races, challenges and tag drills. The key is not to "overdo it." Cut back the volume and distance from your regular speed training program and you'll reap the rewards of "sand training."

  • @LoveFitnessEd Serves as a for of resistance, and the unstable surface improves balance and strengthens ankles. It works, I do it personally living five minutes from the beach, and I've lowered my 40, 20ys, 3 cone, and improved my vert. My backpedal is a hell of lot quicker too.

  • nice ill be trying this

  • great vid looks fun and hard work

  • Why would you do speed and agility training on sand? It defeats the purpose of building reactive stretch shortening cycle from the floor which is solid for most sports. This may help with sports specifics like beach volleyball.

  • nice vid

    keep the hard work :D

  • I find your lack of comments disturbing.
