Hurdle Drills Library

Every drill here includes who it's for, the equipment, setup, execution, coaching cues, common mistakes and how to make it easier or harder. Pick drills that match what the athlete needs to fix.

Find a drill by what you need

If the athlete… Start with
Is brand new to hurdles Walkovers, A-skips over mini hurdles
Jumps up over the hurdle Low-hurdle run-throughs, side-of-hurdle lead leg

How drills fit in a session

  1. Warm-up: jog, then mobility
  2. Technical drills: 2–4 drills, early in the session while the athlete is fresh
  3. Hurdle runs: apply the drill cue at speed
  4. Cool-down

Sample sessions are in the training hub, including a beginner hurdle workout.
