Star Run Drill This drill can be adapted to running and soccer-specific training. It can incorporate all aspects of soccer, including forward, backward, or multidirectional drills, and explosive and reactive drills with cutting.

Combined Drills Different activities such as quick-feet, short sprints, cutting and accelerating, and body rotations can be trained in a rapid sequence over a predefined distance (eg, 20 m). Incorporating various skills into a rapid sequence has proven to be an effective specific quickness and dynamic body control training method for soccer players after knee surgery
