Agility is the quickness and readiness of movement. It is the ability to change the position of the body with skill and control when faced with some sort of stimulus or opposing movement. This ability requires a combination of skills such as coordination, speed, strength and stamina. It is the union of dynamic balance, or the ability to maintain balance under changing conditions, and speed.

In order for an athlete of any sport to maintain peak performance, he or she must be agile. Most movements in any high-speed sport are multi-dimensional, moving in angles, curves, sharp directional changes, and even frequent starts and stops. If the ball carrier quickly changes direction, the defensive player needs to react. He or she must swiftly apply force in the opposite direction he is traveling in order to follow the motion of the ball. He or she needs quick reflexes and efficient footwork.

Agility training exercises allow an athlete to fine-tune body awareness, reaction time and coordination with selected drills comprised of the components of movement or certain motor skills specific in his sport. Since this ability is based on stop and start demands placed on the body, it requires good strength or the quality of movement will be diminished.
