LADDER TO SUCCESS 1 - Agility Drill for Ages 6-9. English FA coach, Neil McKay, teaches you a simple Ladder drill to build agility and coordination in younger players. Players should lift their feet and place the ball of their foot within each ladder gap while maintaining speed and balance. Start slowly, focusing on the accuracy of the foot placement before speed. Be sure to stay off your heels and use arm movements to hold your form. Practice for 5-10 minutes, 2-3 times per week to improve foot movement and coordination.
