Elevate Your Edge: Catholic Memorial's Kicker Prep Drill

As the summer heats up, Catholic Memorial's kicking game is gearing up for another strong season. One drill that's been a staple in the Eagles' pre-season training is the 'Ladder Lateral Leap.' This dynamic exercise targets the crucial combination of speed, agility, and power that separates top-notch kickers from the rest. To set up the drill, players will perform 3 sets of 10 reps, moving through a ladder with their feet while maintaining a low center of gravity. The key coaching cue is to 'jump low, land soft, and explode out of the ladder.' This drill translates to game performance by improving a kicker's ability to quickly change direction and generate power on contact, essential for making clutch field goals and extra points.
