Combination Ladders and Cones 3:

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!

Ladders

Side Shuffle:

Stand to the left of the ladder, facing down the length of it. Step into the first square with the right, then left, then out to the right side of the ladder. Reverse the steps, this time going to the left. Always step into the ladder with the foot that is closest to it.

Ladders

Speed Ladder - Read the Signs!:

When the player reaches the end of the first ladder, the indicator shows them which way to go (left/right).

The player must respond to the sign and side-steps in the direction indicated before then sprints off again to the cones placed further away.

Ladders

Single Leg Heel Flicks:

Standing with their legs between the side of the ladder players plant one foot inside each rung and then heel flick that leg up to their buttocks before jumping onto the next rung.

Repeat.
