Cleveland Storm LBs Get Ready for 6A Action with Blitz Package Drill
📍 Cleveland Storm·Saturday, July 11, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Cleveland Storm linebackers are gearing up for another strong season in 6A, and Coach Thompson is putting them through a rigorous training program to prepare. One key drill is the Blitz Package series, designed to improve their speed, agility, and decision-making. The drill consists of 3 sets of 10 reps, with 30 seconds rest between sets. Players start in a 3-point stance, then quickly change direction to simulate a blitz. Coaching cues emphasize 'quick feet' and 'eyes on the quarterback.' The goal is to reach the quarterback in 3-4 seconds, forcing a quick decision. This drill translates to game performance by replicating the high-speed, high-intensity situations Storm linebackers will face in 6A competition.
