Speed, Agility & Quickness (S.A.Q.)

• The essential part of this exercise is having quick feet and staying low to the ground. This creates a low center of gravity which allows you to have more balance and control over your running patters and/or dribbling

   

  To use this with your team, have 4 or 5 people lined up behind the exercise and take it turn to perform each step. Make sure you focus on getting quicker each time and have excellent coordination.
