Tight End Tune-Up: Dowling Catholic Maroons' Summer Drill to Dominate the Endzone
📍 Dowling Catholic Maroons·Friday, July 10, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
As the Dowling Catholic Maroons prepare for the upcoming 4A season, their coaching staff has designed a drill to refine the skills of their tight ends. The 'Endzone Box Drill' targets the crucial combination of speed, agility, and hands. Set up a 10x10 foot box with cones, with a defender and a quarterback at each corner. The TE starts at the edge of the box, sprints to the middle, then accelerates to the corner, where they must shield and catch a pass from the QB. Complete 3 sets of 5 reps. Coaching cues: 'Quick feet, fast hands, and seal the defender.' This drill translates to game performance by simulating the high-pressure situations tight ends face, such as contested catches and blocking in traffic.
