Saint Louis Crusaders S Players: Master the 'Speed Through the Hole' Drill
📍 Saint Louis Crusaders·Sunday, July 19, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
At the Saint Louis Crusaders Open program, S players can improve their agility and reaction time with the 'Speed Through the Hole' drill. Set up a series of cones in a zigzag pattern, with three holes spaced evenly apart. Players start at the first hole and must quickly change direction to sprint through the second and third holes. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, resting for 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues include 'Quick feet!' and 'Stay low!' to emphasize proper technique. This drill translates to game performance by simulating the fast-paced, changing direction required in football. By mastering the 'Speed Through the Hole' drill, S players will be better equipped to react to defenders and make plays in traffic.
