What Are Some Ladder Agility Drills?
Ladder agility drills provide excellent speed training and help develop speed and coordination. The agility ladder is laid out on the floor, so that the athlete can run, step, jump or hop between the rungs or to either side, depending on the drill. Simple ladder agility drills include the hopscotch drill, bunny hops, zig zags and high knee runs. Agility ladders are made from fabric or plastic, outlining a series of squares. In the absence of an agility ladder, lines can be drawn on the floor for ladder agility drills in the way that a child might draw for hopscotch, and chalk lines would prevent potential trips. Athletes, however, are more likely to notice stepping on a nylon strap than a chalk line and are more likely to perform the ladder agility drills correctly.
