FridayNightPulse: Soldotna Stars RB Drill - 'The Hole Shooter'
📍 Soldotna Stars·Friday, July 24, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The 'Hole Shooter' drill is a game-changer for 3A running backs like the Soldotna Stars. This explosive drill targets acceleration, power, and vision. Set up four cones in a square, 5 yards apart. RBs start at the top cone, focus on a spot 3 yards beyond the bottom cone. On 'go,' they sprint to the bottom cone, then immediately change direction to shoot through the hole. Complete 3 sets of 10 reps, resting 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues: 'Explosive start,' 'change direction fast,' and 'shoot through the hole.' This drill translates to game performance by improving RBs' ability to accelerate through holes and create extra yards. It also enhances their vision and ability to read blocks.
