Quarterback Quick Release Drill for 7A Programs
📍 Hewitt-Trussville Huskies·Tuesday, July 28, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Quick Release Drill is a crucial exercise for Quarterbacks in 7A programs like Hewitt-Trussville Huskies to improve their accuracy and speed. This drill consists of 3 sets of 10 reps, with 30 seconds rest in between sets. The QB starts in a shotgun formation, 5 yards behind the center. The coach or trainer calls out a target (e.g. '5-yard in') and the QB must release the ball within 2 seconds. Coaching cues include 'eyes on the target' and 'follow through with the throwing hand.' This drill translates to game performance by mimicking the quick decision-making and release required in live game situations. It also helps QBs develop muscle memory and consistency in their throwing motion.
