FridayNightPulse: LB Drill for Div 2 Success
📍 Muskegon Big Reds·Monday, July 20, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
At Muskegon Big Reds and other top Div 2 programs, linebackers are working on the 'Agility Ladder Drill' to improve speed, agility, and reaction time. The drill consists of 3 sets of 5 reps: start in a 3-point stance, quickly move through the ladder with feet, then immediately cut to the left and right, mimicking a defender's change of direction. Coaching cues include 'quick feet, light feet, and explosive change of direction.' This drill translates to game performance by allowing LBs to react faster to ball carriers and make quicker tackles. By incorporating this drill into their training regimen, Div 2 LBs can gain a competitive edge in the upcoming season.
