1) Cone hops

Standing beside a cone, two-foot jump side-to-side over the cone, do 3 sets of 20.

Often it's not the first jump but the second jump that gets you a rebound because you jump quicker than the other guy.
 
See YouTube video - Cone agility.

Also see Defending - Line jumps, Conditioning - Line drills for quick feet.
