I'm sure that every game would require you to be fast on your feet, especially with the different tasks you need while in the game. Tasks like cutting someone off for defense, receiving the ball and jumping for a shot. One of the most common basketball quickness drills is the rope jumping. All you need is a good rope wherein you can alternate jumping with both feet first, then switch to jumping with one foot then the other. Cone jumping may also do the trick for you. It's easy, you just need to jump with both your feet back and forth over a 6 inch cone for a given period of time. Leg bounds will also do for you as one of those effective basketball quickness drills. After lining up along a baseline, you stand with your arms tucked to your sides and your knees bent. Jump while you throw your arms up and your body extending so you can go far and higher. Make sure you land in the same position where you started and head for the base line to finish to exercise. You may also try doing line jumps while standing and your toes are pointing towards the line. Then you jump over the line quickly as you can while still on your toes, make sure that your heels do not touch the ground. You must remember not to touch the line while jumping close to it. These basketball quickness drills will help you increase your skills if you do them on a regular basis. You should be consistent in your practices to be able to get the results that you need. Set your goals and work hard to attain them.
