Agility drill
Around the Academy:

Agility
The agility drill helps to improve your nimbleness on the pitch.

Equipment
You'll need to make an agility ladder to do this drill. This can be made out of 20 sticks or flat cones.

The sticks should be flat about 30cm long. The space between sticks or cones should be 35cm apart.

Try to be light on your feet, running on the balls of your feet while using your arms for balance.

And remember to rest and stretch the hamstrings and calve muscles every 6 runs.

What do I do?
Start at one end of the ladder and do each of the following drills three times, taking a ten second break between each.
