Reaction Footwork Cues

What you will learn

Move in a chosen direction after a simple visual cue. This TRAINOVIX lesson shows a simple setup, a specific practice action and a way to notice your progress without rushing.

Practice step by step

1. Warm up first and choose a clear, non-slip area for footwork.
2. Set short markers on a safe non-slip surface.
3. Ask a partner to point left or right, then step toward that marker at easy speed.
4. Reset your stance and check balance between cues.
5. Pause between repetitions and favour smooth controlled movement.

Coaching tips

• Keep cues predictable at first.
• Avoid maximum effort until a coach has checked your technique.

How to progress

Start with the simplest version of the activity. Give yourself enough time to learn the movement, ask for feedback when useful, and choose a more challenging variation only when your practice feels comfortable and controlled.
