TRAINING
Sprint Through the Hole Drill for 6A S Players
๐ Derby PanthersยทWednesday, July 1, 2026ยทFridayNightPulse Insider
Derby Panthers' S players, are you ready to take your game to the next level? Coach Thompson recommends the Sprint Through the Hole drill to improve your speed, agility, and reaction time. Set up cones in a zigzag pattern, with 5-6 cones spaced 5 yards apart. Have your players start at the first cone, then sprint through the course, focusing on quick changes of direction. Complete 3 sets of 10 reps, resting for 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues: 'Keep your eyes up, stay low, and explode through the holes.' This drill translates to game performance by simulating the quick cuts and changes of direction that S players face on the field. It also improves your ability to read the defense and make split-second decisions.
