Below is a list of Speed Ladder drills for basketball players of all ages and levels. The Speed Ladder is a great
tool that can be used to promote coordination, footwork, and body awareness. We primarily incorporate these
drills into our warm-up as they get players mentally focused and get their feet moving! Each of these drills can
be performed individually or in a group setting with an entire team. It is recommended to start at a slow and
comfortable pace and then increase speed as proficiency improves.
