TRAINING
Speed and Agility for Southington Blue Knights' S Players
📍 Southington Blue Knights·Tuesday, July 14, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
As the Southington Blue Knights prepare for the upcoming season, S players must focus on quickness and agility to stay ahead of the competition. One effective drill to improve these skills is the 'Ladder Carioca Drill'. Set up a ladder on the field with 5-6 rungs. Have the S players perform a carioca drill (side-to-side shuffling) through the ladder, focusing on quick footwork and changing direction. Start with 3 sets of 10 reps, resting for 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues include 'quick feet' and 'stay low'. This drill translates to game performance by improving the S players' ability to quickly close gaps and stay with receivers. It also enhances their agility and reaction time, allowing them to make plays on the ball.
