Footwork & Agility Drill
Purpose
This footwork and agility drill is a general athletic skill builder that will result in better base running and defensive skill.
Execution
- Start from a good athletic position. Explode using the knee and the hip to move the feet.
- You can also go from a crossover to an explosive sprint. Drive that knee and hip quick across, bust into an acceleration sprint. Cross and go quickly.
Coaching Tips

- Your feet will always follow your knees and hips.
- Use those hips to get your feet in position to put force into the ground for greater acceleration and speed.
