Here is what we have planned
Agile Bags
Ropes
Competition Drills (tires, tugs etc)
Cones
Reactions
Seat Rolls and sprints
The thought just came to me, why do ropes and bags. Both drills require athletes to pick up knees/feet. Why not do agility ladders tacked into the ground with tent stakes instead of ropes. Seems it would be a different type of movement. More of a quick foot agility as opposed to really picking feet up....since they get that with bags.
Thoughts?

personally
I am not a huge fan of doing agility work during the season. To me, that is more of an offseason thing to do. We only get so much time during the season, it had better be spent on very football specific stuff. So if there is an agility component in what you are trying to work on, then find some way to kill two birds with one stone and at least make it football specific.

I agree with tog except when we start Individual Defense I want to start with at least one movement drill that sets "tempo" for period and practice - quick feet, get moving, play "Fast and Furious." Plus, moving with pads is different than without. Always finish drill with second reaction - Form Tackle, Fumble Recovery, Pursuit (Wave), Pass Rush (hands up). Obviously when pads are on, cut down on Agility. If you watch - amazing how young kids do not know how to fall and catch themselves if knocked down-get back up and get after it. |

We do stations for agilities that include pro agility ,bags (pedal drills), positions specific (broken up by line, LB's, DB's), agility square, etc. They work for us because they are geared towards football movement skills and include conditioning. I believe any drill not relating directly to football is somewhat wasting time. I would rather condition using stations than seeing kids go half a$$ on sprints or jogging.

we do it everyday, right after dynamic warm up
- pro agility (20 yard shuttle)
- chaos
- speed ladders
- shopping carts with the wheels cut off
- L drill (20 yds)
- hurdles
- Nebraska drill (what we call it, cones 10 yards apart, figure 8 with the hand on the ground, then sprint to the second cone, then back pedal to the start)
1 rep if it is good
