3 Great Drills to Work on Quickness and Footwork
Posted on Dec 16, 2007 under The Physical Game |
2 Touches
#1, #2, #3 start at the end of the ladder and just try to touch both feet inside every square as fast as possible. They must go in one at a time. In order to be good , the feet must not stay on the ground long. One goes after the other and they will watch and improve to keep up with their peers.
Karoke Step
#1, #2, #3 start sideways to the ladder and must do the karoke or crossover step in each hole. There is a distinct rhythm to this and speed should increase as they develop the rhythm and timing.
Two in Two Out
This is very similar to hopscotch. You jump with both feet in Box 1, then both feet must be outside Box 2, and then repeat. This drill works on explosion, and builds legs to increase push off power needed in tennis.
