Building a Stronger Bulldog Line: Greenwood's 6A OL Drill
As the 2026 season approaches, the Greenwood Bulldogs' 6A OL is gearing up for a strong campaign. To improve their blocking technique and overall performance, Coach Thompson has implemented a crucial drill that targets the linemen's footwork and hand placement. The 'Boxer Shuffle' drill is a high-intensity exercise that simulates the chaos of a live game. Here's how to run it: Set up a 10-yard box with cones, with a defender or pad at each corner. OL players perform 3 sets of 10 reps, shuffling to each corner, then exploding into a block. Coaching cues: 'Fast feet, strong hands' and 'Keep your eyes on the defender.' This drill translates to game performance by improving OL's ability to quickly react to defensive schemes and maintain a strong, balanced stance. It's a must-run for any 6A OL looking to dominate this season.
