Hop Scotch Drill
This is one of the simplest ladder agility drills, even for those who are too old to remember playing hop scotch (or just won't admit to it!).
- Begin with feet hip width apart at the base of the ladder
- Jump up with both feet and land on the left foot only in the first square
- Immediately push off with your left foot and land with both feet in the second square
- Immediately push off with both feet and land on your right foot only
- Push off from your right foot and land on both feet
- Repeat this pattern for the full length of the ladder
General guidelines for agility ladder drills:
• Push off from the balls of your feet (not the toes) • Pump your hands from shoulder height to hips (men) and from chest height to hips (women) • Keep your elbows at 90 degrees at all times • Keep your arms, shoulders and hands relaxed • Try to keep your head still as much as possible
