Agility Ladder Drills

Now with agility ladder drills it's extremely important that you slow athletes down and give them some good cues on how to get in and out of the ladder and navigate the ladder. Because they're going to go in, they're going to be very uncoordinated, and they're going to have a much more difficult time negotiating the ladder than you think they will.

Another thing that you want to do when you're going through the agility ladder is you want to make sure that athletes are getting an equal number of repetitions in leading with each leg, each left and right leg. Athletes will have a coordinated leg and a strong leg and they'll prefer, you'll see very quickly, to go through the ladder with one leg over the other. Leading with the left leg, for example, will be much easier and quicker and more coordinated than leading with the other. So please make sure that you create symmetry with the way that they work out.

Once they've gone through the agility ladder and learned some things like you can see here in these drills pulled straight from Complete Speed Training, you can do what we call hybrids. And even here with the orange cones you can have a soccer ball, throw a football, pass a basketball, throw a baseball. There are a number of things you can do to make it a little bit more sport specific as the athletes learn to negotiate and navigate the ladder to add more complexity for your more advanced athletes. As you can see here, this athlete's going through quicker and doing an even more complicated drill.
