Quarterback Readiness: Weddington Warriors' Pre-Season Focus
As the Weddington Warriors prepare for the upcoming 3A season, quarterback development is a top priority. One key drill to help QBs build accuracy and decision-making skills is the '5-Step Drop and Read' drill. This drill involves setting up five cones in a line, 5 yards apart, with a target or receiver at the end. The QB starts 10 yards back, drops back 5 steps, and reads the defense before delivering a pass to the target. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, with a 30-second rest between sets. Coaching cues include: 'Drop back smooth, eyes on the target, and read the defense before throwing.' This drill translates to game performance by improving QBs' ability to read defenses and deliver accurate passes under pressure. By incorporating this drill into their pre-season routine, the Warriors' QBs will be better equipped to lead the team to victory.
