Agilities?

JD,

I'm a big fan of the ladder, dots, and jump rope, as well as, the plyometric box!

Nylon ropes with plastic "steps" laid out on the ground or gym floor and utilized for quickening the feet and and other skills. EXCELLENT TOOL.

Coaches,
while the dot drill has a specific purpose for agility, I feel plyometric training is the way to go. In football, we want athletes who have power, strength, quickness, and explosion. The only way to get these things is through reps. The dot drill is considered "low intensity" footwork. When in football do we use low intensity footwork? The dot drill was originally used for basketball and baseball training. The BFS program used this as a mid-season agility exercise and now it has become a off-season workout exercise. Put the dot mats away and switch to a plyometric training program, reinforce the "core" as a means to training (abs, lower back) and you will see drastic increases in power, explosion, speed, and quickness.
