Agility Speed Ladder 4 Metres with Carry Bag Speed ladders, also called agility ladders, are pieces of athletic equipment to help you train to move your feet faster. Imagine a ladder lying flat on the ground, typically made of flat rope (so you don’t trip and injure yourself). Then you go through various repetitions using your feet and the speed ladder. You do all kinds of speed ladder exercises, like the feared bunny hop, or the hop scotch drill you did as a child. Of course, there are more advanced drills such as the Tango/Mumbo drill, but they all do one thing – they get you to move your feet. It is this repetition by using a speed ladder that increases your speed, helps you jump higher and makes you quicker.
