The coach lines up 4 hurdles from the baseline to the net through the middle of the court, and cones on the sidelines. The players jump over the first hurdle with both legs, and sprint laterally to touch a cone. They sprint back to the second hurdle, jump and then sprint to another cone placed on the other sideline and continues alternating jumps with lateral sprints until he has jumped all hurdles. .This drill help players improve their ability to change directions.
