Directions for performing these general agility drills:

1. Make sure to do an adequate Dynamic warm-up, pre-stretch, and active warm-up prior to beginning ANY activity (see our "Dynamic Warm-Up" below). These drills are to be performed by individuals in good health (free from injuries) and under competent supervision.
2. Drills should be done at full speed! Game like conditions!
3. Keep your rest between reps/sets to a minimum to elicit an overall conditioning effect.
4. Stay in an "athletic" position at all times keeping your center of gravity low with a good base of support.
5. Keep your feet moving the whole time!
6. Sink your hips, plant tour outside foot, and lean into your cuts.
7. Pump your arms hard and accelerate on the straightaway.
8. Drills should be performed on appropriate surface to avoid slipping (Ideally the same surface as your sport.
