Agility ladder

A great way to improve foot quickness, coordination, and balance is by using an agility ladder. As your athletes master the different patterns, you can progress the drill by using audio and visual cues that signal them to change direction. This requires that your athletes are proficient in doing their patterns forward and backwards. By challenging the athletes to react, it will ensure that they maintain a balanced position where their quickness can be transferred over to their sport.
