footwork drills

Step pattern practice

Footwork drills are exercises designed to improve quickness, agility, and coordination of the feet.

Athletes practice them across sports—boxers shuffle and pivot, basketball players work on defensive slides, tennis players rehearse court coverage.

The drills typically involve cones, ladders, or marked patterns: We ran footwork drills until our calves burned.
