Purpose
The purpose of this agility drill is to improve the balance and explosive power of a player.
Set up
- 2 hoops
- 3 mini hurdles
How it works
Place 2 hoops 3 yards apart with 3 mini spread evenly between them.
Start the exercise in one hoop balancing on the leg that is closest to the mini hurdle in a side-on-body position.
Using the same leg you will laterally hop over the hurdles until you reach the hoop on the other side.
Once you reach that hoop with the same leg you will laterally hop over the hurdles back into the original hoop you start in landing on your opposite foot.
Rotate 180 degrees so now the foot you landed on is now closest to the mini hurdle. Repeat this drill 3 times on each leg.
Coaching points

- Focus on exploding from your hops
- Use your arms to help you balance
Questions
- After each hop what should you do?
