The main objective of agility ladder programs is to promote a wide range of different foot and movement patterns. Through practice these movements will become second nature and the body will be able to respond quickly to various sport specific movement patterns.
With the use of an agility ladder we can improve our agility by practicing movement patterns in training. The standard ladder is 10 yards long with 18 inch squares but you can construct your own ladder using sticks, lino strips or tape.
When beginning an agility ladder program start with 2 to 4 drills and once you master these then introduce new drills.
