Speed and Agility Drills for S Players at La Salle Academy
La Salle Academy Rams S players, get ready to take your game to the next level with this speed and agility drill. The 'Ladder Shuttle' drill is a staple at top Div I programs, and it's perfect for developing quick reactions and explosive acceleration. Here's how to run it: Set up 5-6 ladder stations with cones or markers. Players start at the first station, perform a lateral shuffle through the ladder, then immediately sprint to the next station and repeat. Complete 3 sets of 10 reps, resting for 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues: 'Quick feet, quick hands' and 'Drive through the ladder, don't just step through.' This drill translates to game performance by improving reaction time and allowing S players to quickly change direction on the field.
