Ladder YakimaSport 12-step raised coordination ladder model 100271

The YakimaSport 12-step raised coordination ladder model 100271 is a training aid designed to improve agility, footwork and coordination. The ladder has twelve evenly spaced steps and a raised profile that simulates elevated obstacles to challenge balance and proprioception during drills. It is suitable for use on turf, track and hard surfaces, and can be incorporated into individual or team conditioning sessions for sports such as football, rugby and general fitness training.

Advantages

The raised step design increases the difficulty of standard ladder drills by forcing athletes to lift their feet higher and control landing mechanics. Twelve steps provide a progression of drill complexity from basic footwork patterns to advanced speed and precision sequences. The ladder is lightweight and portable, allowing it to be moved and set up quickly for training circuits or outdoor practice. Durable materials provide resistance to regular use on different surface types while maintaining a consistent step height for repeatable training sessions.

Suitable for

• Agility and footwork drills for football and rugby players
• Speed, coordination and conditioning sessions for athletes
• Group training circuits and team warm-ups
• Individual skill development and balance training

Key specifications

• Twelve raised steps for progressive drill difficulty
• Raised step profile to simulate elevated obstacles
• Designed for use on turf, track and hard surfaces
• Lightweight and portable construction for easy setup
• Durable materials suitable for repeated training use

How to use

Place the ladder on a flat section of the chosen surface and ensure each step lies evenly. Begin with basic drills—single-foot and double-foot patterns—moving through the ladder with controlled movements to establish rhythm and timing. Progress to more advanced exercises that require higher foot lifts, lateral movement and directional changes. Use a training partner or coach to time repetitions and provide feedback on technique. Store the ladder rolled or stacked to maintain its shape and prolong service life.

Usage recommendations

Start sessions with low-intensity drills to warm up muscles and joints. Combine ladder work with short sprints, plyometrics or sport-specific drills to build functional speed and coordination. Inspect the ladder before each session for wear and ensure the training surface is clear of debris to reduce slipping or tripping risks.
