Crossover Drill for Footwork & Agility

Purpose

This footwork and agility drill is a general athletic skill builder that will result in better base running and defensive skill.

Execution

1. Start from a good athletic position.   Explode using the knee and the hip to move the feet.
2. 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

• Stay in your power position as much as possible.
• 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.
