Foot speed is the ability to touch the foot quickly to the ground while reducing the time that the foot is in contact with the ground

The Foot Speed Ladder forces legs and feet to adapt to the demands of the spaces between rungs and provoke fast patterns of footwork. The length of the Ladder allows for repeated movements for fast and effective learning, and the rungs may be manipulated for a variety of drills.

How fast you move your feet is dictated by how efficiently the joints of the lower body work with each other.

Because rugby is a multi-directional sport, foot speed is vital for effective and efficient positioning, particularly on the advantage line.

Missing a tackle or avoiding a defender is often reliant on foot speed
