Tiger-Approved WR Drill: 'Rainbow Route' for St. Xavier's 6A Dominance
📍 St. Xavier Tigers·Thursday, July 9, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
This summer, St. Xavier's WRs can take their game to the next level with the 'Rainbow Route' drill. Set up a series of 5 cones in a zig-zag pattern, 10 yards apart. Players start at the first cone, then run a 5-yard out route, followed by a 5-yard in route, and finally a 10-yard deep post route. Complete 3 sets of 5 reps, resting for 30 seconds between sets. As players run, coaches should emphasize 'speed to the spot' and 'hands in a bucket.' This drill translates to game performance by improving WRs' ability to create separation and track the ball in space. By mastering the 'Rainbow Route,' St. Xavier's WRs will be ready to take on 6A competition.
