Tennis Agility: Agility is the ability to change direction without the loss of speed, power, strength, balance or control. Sports agility teaches the athlete the best techniques to move with the greatest speed and quickness, with minimal wasted movement or action. This is done by simple and complex drilling exercises (hand, eye, and footwork) that through modeling and neurological conditioning of these movements will become habit.

Some things to remember when performing agility exercises are stay on the balls of your feet, keep shoulders forward, and knees slightly bent. Some common exercises are:

• Karaoke
  
• Back pedaling
  
• Side shuffling
  
• Slow Cutting at 45 and 90 degree angles. These can be performed at distances from 10-50 yards.
  

For more advanced athletes I suggest putting together multiples of these exercises together as on drill and adding sprints.
