Agility Drill: improving acceleration reactions
This drill is designed to focus upon quick feet movements followed by an initial acceleration. The quick foot movements will help “prime” your body for the sprint and rapid change of direction. When implemented correctly this drill can also be used to teach athletes to be on their toes ready to react to a sprint.

Speed and agility soccer drills for young soccer players
Coaching your young players to develop speed, stamina and agility is vital to help them stand up to the rigours of a match or soccer training session. With the help of this fitness soccer drill you can build these skills and give your players an all-round soccer education.
You can see when youngsters are running back to get goalside of attackers, that a lot of pressure is put on their bodies and their stamina levels, but regular fitness drills will help them work through training sessions and cope better in matches.
Here's a good soccer warm-up drill for speed and agility skills.
Place two markers 10m apart to form a line, stand facing across the line.
Rotate lower body to put one foot over the line the other behind.
In a small, jumping action, repeated switch stance by rotating lower body to place other foot over the line.
Jump and rotate as fast as possible.
Move slowly sideways towards the far marker.
