Korfball drill: calves (jumping power)

Suitable for the following techniques: strength

Stand with the front of your feet on an elevation (such as a step) and lower your heels as far as possible so your calves are properly stretched.
Now slowly stand on your toes. All the weight is now resting on your toes and you can feel your calves contracting.
Slowly lower yourself back to the starting position.
Doing this exercise slowly will work your muscles more effectively--you won't get the same effect by jumping up and down at a fast pace.
Check yourself by keeping track of time; each repetition should last no less than 6 seconds total.
Repeat this exercise as many times as you can. Twenty reps is fine to start with.
