Quarterback Readiness: Carmel Greyhounds' Pre-Season Drill for 6A Success
📍 Carmel Greyhounds·Thursday, July 30, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
Quarterbacks at top 6A programs like Carmel Greyhounds need to be prepared for the physical and mental demands of the season. To improve accuracy and decision-making, we recommend the '7-Step Drop Drill'. Divide the quarterbacks into pairs, with one player as the 'QB' and the other as the 'WR'. The QB will drop back 7 steps, focusing on proper footwork and balance. The WR will release a deep route, and the QB must read the defense and deliver a pass to the correct spot. Complete 3 sets of 10 reps, with a 2-minute rest between sets. Coaching cues include 'eyes on the WR' and 'deliver the ball to the numbers'. This drill translates to game performance by improving the QB's ability to read defenses and make accurate throws under pressure.
