Fast Feet drills
The following drills can be used to develop thge quickness of the feet.
Quick feet drill
From a jog, increase your strike rate to take as many steps as possible in a 10-metre interval. Jog for 10 metres and repeat. Emphasize the quick turnover with the legs moving in front of and not behind or under the body.
Down and offs
From a high knee position, the emphasis is to decrease your foot/ground contact time by hitting the ground with the ball of the foot and getting off as quickly as possible. In turn, the effort on the ground should bounce your leg up into the high knee position. Ten down and offs per leg make a set.
Hurdle Drill
Twenty low hurdles (12") are placed 18 inches apart on the ground. Sprint over the hurdles as fast as possible, touching one foot on the ground between each. Emphasis on a high knee lift and quick ground contact.
Rat-a-tats
Knees slightly bent, running on the spot on your toes, bringing the toes no more than 2 or 3 centimetres off the ground. Emphasis on the speed of movement. Duration of 30 seconds.
