The three-hurdle drill develops rapid response for quick feet. Quick feet enhance fielding range and reaction time, as well as speed and quickness for base running.

To perform the three-hurdle drill, setup three six-inch high hurdles or obstacles one yard apart. Straddle the first hurdle with your left foot on the outside of the hurdle. Now, sprint laterally over the hurdles to your right. As you step over the last hurdle, plant your right foot and hold the position for three seconds. Repeat the drill sprinting laterally left. Hold the position on your left foot as you step over the last hurdle. Perform two to three sets of four to six reps. Rest a minute to a minute and a half between sets.
