Agility: Combination Ladders and Cones 3

Great drills and practices thank you. Have used to great success for...

Steve, Clayesmore Prep School

DESCRIPTION

Player line up behind the first ladder and then take it in turns to run up the ladder, making sure they place both feet between each rung.

After this they then shuffle forward and back along the cones.

When they reach the final cone they should use a burst of acceleration to run forward and complete the final ladder, the same as before, before jogging to the back of the line ready to go again!

COACHING POINTS

You can vary the layout of the cones and ladders, increasing the distances to increase the physical intensity.

You may also like to vary what players must do - perhaps they could hop along the ladder, run around the cones or touch each cone with their hands? Use your imagination!

Players sprint through the slalom, running around each cone as closely and quickly as possible.

You can vary this drill so that players must also bend down and touch each cone before moving onto the next one.

Speed Footwork

2 Feet in each rung:

This speed exercise will get your players moving their feet quickly as they attempt to move up the ladder as quickly as possible whilst planting both feet inside each rung on the ladder.
