Summer Speed and Agility for S Players: The 5-10-5 Shuttle Drill
📍 Greenwood Bulldogs·Monday, July 13, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The 5-10-5 shuttle drill is a crucial exercise for S players at 6A programs like the Greenwood Bulldogs to improve their speed, agility, and reaction time. This drill consists of three sets of 10 reps, with a 30-second rest period between sets. The drill starts with the player at the 5-yard line, then sprints to the 10-yard line, touches the line with their foot, and immediately changes direction to sprint back to the 5-yard line. Coaching cues include 'explosive start,' 'quick feet,' and 'aggressive change of direction.' This drill translates to game performance by allowing S players to quickly close gaps and make tackles in space. It also improves their ability to read and react to the offense's movement.
