Rigby Trojans WRs: Master the 'Route Runner' Drill
📍 Rigby Trojans·Tuesday, July 7, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
To dominate in the 5A division, wide receivers need to be precise route runners. This drill, 'Route Runner,' targets footwork, agility, and spatial awareness. Set up four cones in a square formation, 5 yards apart. Divide WRs into pairs, with one player as the runner and the other as the coach. The runner starts at the top cone, then weaves through the course, mimicking a slant, out, and in route. The coach provides verbal cues, emphasizing 'inside foot, outside foot' and 'stay low.' Perform 3 sets of 5 reps, resting 30 seconds between sets. This drill translates to game performance by improving WRs' ability to quickly change direction and create separation from defenders.
