FridayNightPulse: CB Drills for 6A Success
Greenwood Bulldogs cornerbacks are gearing up for the 2026 season with a focus on quickness and agility. This week, we're breaking down a specific drill to help CBs dominate on the field. The 'Ladder Shuffle' drill targets rapid footwork and reaction time. Set up a ladder with 5-6 rungs and have your CBs perform the following sequence: 3 sets of 10 reps, focusing on speed and control through each rung. Coaching cues include: 'Quick feet, quick hands' and 'Shuffle, don't slide.' This drill translates to game performance by improving CBs' ability to stay with receivers in man coverage and quickly close gaps in zone defense. By incorporating the Ladder Shuffle into their pre-season training, Greenwood's CBs will be ready to make plays all season long.
