Speed and Agility for S Players: The L-Cone Drill
📍 St. Frances Academy Panthers·Tuesday, July 21, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
This summer, S players at MIAA programs like St. Frances Academy Panthers can improve their speed and agility with the L-Cone drill. Set up three cones in an L-shape, with the player starting at the bottom of the L. The coach or trainer will call out a direction (e.g. 'left' or 'right'), and the player must weave through the cones in that direction. Complete 3 sets of 10 reps, resting for 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues include 'keep your head up' and 'stay low.' This drill translates to game performance by improving reaction time and agility in tight spaces. It also enhances the player's ability to quickly change direction, making them a more effective defender in the secondary.
