📍 Blue Valley Northwest Huskies·Monday, July 27, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
At Blue Valley Northwest Huskies, defensive end players are gearing up for a dominant season with the introduction of the Husky Hedge Drill. This drill targets the critical skills of speed, agility, and hand placement. The drill consists of 3 sets of 5 reps, with a 30-second rest between sets. Players start in a 3-point stance, then explosively drive forward 5 yards, planting their inside foot and extending their arms to 'hedge' a defender. Coaching cues include 'quick feet' and 'hands up.' This drill translates to game performance by improving players' ability to quickly close gaps and secure tackles. By mastering the Husky Hedge Drill, defensive ends will be better equipped to disrupt opponents and lead the Huskies to victory.
