I’m looking to start playing tennis and some other sports and I want to improve my agility. Things like lateral movement, starting/stopping, turning quickly, bending, jumping, etc. I can be pretty clumsy and trip over myself. What are some exercises I can do? I’m thinking things like suicides? Anything else?

Right now, I don’t think my tennis coach is working us that hard: suicides (touch every line)-about 5 reps, 3 sets (10 sec breaks in between reps)
crab walks-across court up and down-1 rep, 2 sets
squat jumps-10 reps, 1 set
run up to the net, then run backwards-5 reps, 3 sets
Are there any other good tennis conditioning drills that anyone knows?
