    Cone drills

    Quick feet

    and my personal favorite... the Footwork Ladder

    Anything that involves the rapid movement of the feet can be considered plyometrics

    Jump squats, heismans, burpees can even be plyo if you jump when you stand back up. Clap pushups. Anything where you force yourself to come off the ground after the initial exertion of for example the squat. Heck jump rope and jumping jacks are plyo.
