Unleashing the Speed and Agility of Caesar Rodney Riders' Linebackers

This summer, Caesar Rodney Riders' linebackers can take their game to the next level with the 'Shuttle to the Ball' drill. This high-intensity workout targets speed, agility, and reaction time – essential skills for any linebacker. The drill involves 3 sets of 5 reps, with a 30-second rest between sets. Players start in a 3-point stance, then sprint 10 yards to a marker, change direction, and shuttle back to the starting point. As they reach the starting point, they quickly change direction again and sprint to a second marker 10 yards away. The coaching cue is to 'attack the ball' with every step. This drill translates to game performance by improving the linebackers' ability to quickly close gaps and make tackles in space.
