need ideas for o-line jump rope routines...

Coach -

Here's a routine used by the U of Illinois:

Use tape or paint to make a cross on the floor. Then, number each quadrant of the cross "1","2","3", and "4".


It should look like this:

12
43


Here's the workout that I got from Illinois. You will probably want to pare it down for high school kids.

1. Regular jump x50
2. Side to Side (4 to 3 & back) x50
3. Up & Back (4 to 1 & back) x50
4. Boxer Shuffle (2 on right foot, 2 on left foot) x50
5. Up & Back Right Foot (4 to 1 & back) x25
6. Up & Back Left Foot (4 to 1 & back) x25
7. Side to Side Right Foot (4 to 3 & back) x25
8. Side to Side Left Foot (4 to 3 & back) x25
9. Triangle (alternate 1-2-4 and 2-1-3) x50
10. Four Square (1-3-2-4) x50
11. Four Square Variation (1-2-3-4) x50
12. Double Jump with bounce in between reps (alternate rope under foot twice/rope under foot once) x50
13. Double Jump in Succession (no single inbetween doubles) x50
14. Bonus - Try to get as many single jumps as you can within 30 seconds.

I have never done this workout. If you do, let me know how it goes.
