Anyone have any good agility excercises?

I occasional jump around a bit, sideways and try quickly changing direction and stuff, but i don't really know how good that works. Its all pretty amateur really

Just that i play basketball and want to work on it a bit more.

do some suicides, those work on endurance and agility.

ahh yeah suicides. I haven't done them for a while, i really should get around to them again, especially before and after training. Cheers for the tip

Also that was a pretty quick response.

Running very fast in short bursts of speed.

IE sprinting sideways across a gym floor, then going back

taking a very small rest, or no rest, and doing it again..

and then again
and again
and again
etc

they're common in tryouts for sports team to measure endurance, speed, etc..

they're also common in practices after a loss to punish the team

Have you tried ladder drills. If you don't have a ladder, you can draw one with some chalk. Then you can do all kinds of drills, like one foot in at a time, hopping, hopscoth (hop with both feet in and then hop with feet split outside of the ladder and then hop with both feet in the next section, etc.) You can also do similar drills in a side to side manner over a single line. These are a blast and are very difficult.
