Agility and co-ordination are two of the many
attributes required to become a successful player.
Compound movements such as dribbling, turning,
passing and intercepting often necessitate great
accelerative and declarative forces, caused by
changes in speed and direction. Also correctly
executed
skills require good body co-ordination, and
an awareness of space and time.
Agility refers to the ability to change the
direction of the body abruptly or to shift quickly
the direction of movement without losing balance. It
is dependant on a combination of factors such as
speed, strength,
balance and
co-ordination. The
ability to turn quickly, evade challenges and
side-step
calls for good
motor co-ordination and can
be measured using agility tests.
