Line Drills. These are simple—find the line, great training tool. Put both feet together so they are working at the same time. Do side to side jumps. Over and back is one repetition, do 10 as quick as you can. Keep the toes pulled up toward the shins so you can respond to the ground as quickly as possible. Now do one-foot-hops, simply just start on one foot do the same thing, over and back is one. Do 10, three sets of 10 on each to these is great for increasing your speed and quickness. Now let us face the line, forward and back. Pop off the foot; do not stab the toes into the ground. Pull the toes up so that you will bounce off to the ground. Do both feet then go to single leg, again bounce off the front part of that foot. Do not stab the toe into the ground. We want to have positive force applied to the ground by stepping down. Ski jumps, both feet together moving forward go side to side across the line. Move forward and then back. Good quickness of the ground and body control.
