Do not train light chasing only.
Keep reaction speed age-appropriate.
Use both feet when responding.
Reaction must connect to touch
For soccer, the player needs to control the ball after reading the cue.
Start predictable
Kids should learn the movement pattern before random cues become faster.
Use balance as feedback
A good reaction rep ends with the player balanced and ready for the next action.
Session ideas
Make the next touch measurable.
Cue and stop
