Lateral Ladder Drill
The ladder drill done sideways: quick steps into the squares as you travel side-on along the ladder, then back.
How to do it
Setup
Side-on at one end of an agility ladder, knees soft, weight on the balls of the feet.
Steps
- Move sideways along the ladder, the feet touching down in the squares.
- Keep the steps quick and short, knees soft.
- Lead with the other side on the way back.
Common mistakes
Crossing the feet: step, don't cross. Standing tall: stay low with the knees soft. Heels dropping: quick contacts on the balls of the feet.
Breathing
Fast steady rhythm.
