Game-Changing CB Drill for B-Programs: Kearney Bearcats' Summer Prep
Kearney Bearcats' cornerbacks are gearing up for a strong season with a focus on agility and reaction time. One key drill to incorporate into your summer camp is the 'Ladder Cuts' drill. Set up a ladder with 5-6 rungs, spaced 1-2 feet apart. Have CBs start at the top, then quickly descend to the bottom, using each rung as a 'cut' point. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, resting 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues: 'Fast feet, quick hands' and 'Read the ladder, not the ground.' This drill translates to game performance by improving CBs' ability to quickly change direction and stay in phase with receivers. It also enhances their reaction time, allowing them to stay on top of deep balls. By mastering the Ladder Cuts drill, Kearney's CBs will be ready to take on the competition this fall.
