FridayNightPulse Training Tip: Seton Hall Prep's TE Drill for Non-Public A Success
For tight ends at Non-Public A programs like Seton Hall Prep, dominating in the red zone requires a combination of strength, agility, and technique. To improve their chances of scoring touchdowns, coaches can implement the following drill: 'Route Boxer.' Divide the TE group into pairs, with one player as the blocker and the other as the receiver. Set up a series of cones in a box formation (3x3 yards). The blocker must box out the defender, while the receiver runs a 5-yard out route. The receiver must catch the pass while being hit by the defender. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, with a 2-minute rest between sets. Coaching cues include: 'Box it out!' and 'Catch and finish!' This drill translates to game performance by improving the TE's ability to create separation and secure passes in traffic.
