Step-Up Pass Drill for Quarterbacks at Middletown Cavaliers
Middletown Cavaliers Quarterbacks are gearing up for the 2026 season with a focus on precision passing. This step-up pass drill is designed to improve arm strength, accuracy, and decision-making under pressure. The drill consists of three sets of 10 reps: (1) Step-up pass with a defender in the face, (2) Step-up pass with a defender closing in, and (3) Step-up pass with a defender in a zone coverage. Coaching cues include: 'Step into the throw,' 'Follow through with your eyes,' and 'Keep your elbow in.' This drill translates to game performance by simulating real-game situations and building confidence in the quarterback's ability to deliver the ball accurately under pressure. The step-up pass drill will be a key component of the Cavaliers' pre-season training program.
