Shamrock Strong: 6A Linebacker Drill for Speed and Agility

This summer, Trinity Shamrocks linebackers will be putting in work with the 'Shamrock Shuffle' drill. Designed to improve speed, agility, and reaction time, this drill is perfect for 6A programs looking to dominate on defense. The drill consists of 3 sets of 10 reps: 1) 5-yard shuttle run through cones, 2) 3-foot jump over a hurdle, and 3) a 180-degree pivot to a target. Coaching cues include: 'quick feet, fast hands,' and 'stay low, stay loose.' This drill translates to game performance by improving a linebacker's ability to quickly close gaps and change direction on the field. By incorporating the Shamrock Shuffle into their training regimen, Trinity Shamrocks linebackers will be better equipped to take on the toughest opponents in 6A.
