Sprint to Success: A Speed Drill for Non-Public A S Players
Summer is the perfect time for Non-Public A programs like Bergen Catholic Crusaders to focus on speed development. S players can benefit from a drill that targets acceleration and top-end speed. The 'Resistance Band Sprints' drill consists of 3 sets of 5 reps, with 30 seconds rest in between sets. Players wear resistance bands around their legs, which slow down their acceleration and force them to explode through the bands. Coaching cues include 'quick feet' and 'drive through the band.' This drill translates to game performance by improving players' ability to accelerate quickly and change direction on the field. By incorporating this drill into their summer training, S players can gain a competitive edge and become more effective in their roles.
