Develop explosive first-step acceleration to reach balls quickly from ready position. Explosive start training builds the leg power necessary for court coverage.
Start in balanced ready position with knees bent and weight on the balls of your feet.
Focus on one directional target at a time, preparing to accelerate explosively toward it.
Push explosively off the ground with your inside leg, generating maximum acceleration.
Cover maximum distance in your first step, demonstrating explosive power and acceleration.
Maintain acceleration momentum through 2-3 steps to maximize court coverage.
Practice explosive starts in all directions—forward, backward, and lateral—building comprehensive acceleration.
Coach tip
Explosive starts are powered by legs and core; focus on generating maximum first-step power.
