A selection of reaction drills for integration on training or game days to keep athletes physically and mentally sharp. These drills use healthy competition and different coaching cues to test athlete’s senses and help them focus ahead of training or games. They can also be a fun addition to your usual training as time-efficient and engaging group activities.

Generally speaking, 1-2 sets of 5-15 repetitions per exercise (on each side of the body where appropriate) should be sufficient for warm-up purposes. The common goal with these exercises is to feel prepared for further activity, not to create fatigue that may negatively impact performance. Exercises should be adapted to the needs of each individual
Common methods for increasing the difficulty of an exercise include using a more resistant band or changing the placement of the band for an exercise. For many exercises, moving the band further down the arms/legs (i.e. closer to the hands or feet) will significantly increase the challenge experienced.
