Tight End Training: Los Lunas Tigers' 5A Summer Camp Focus
This summer, Los Lunas Tigers' tight end coach is emphasizing a crucial drill to prepare his 5A players for the upcoming season. The 'Route Runner' drill targets the tight end's ability to create separation from defenders. Set up cones in a zig-zag pattern, 10 yards apart. Have the tight end start at the first cone, then run through the course, focusing on quick footwork and change of direction. Complete 3 sets of 10 reps, resting 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues include 'inside out' footwork and 'eyes on the target.' This drill translates to game performance by improving the tight end's ability to create space and get open down the seam. By mastering this drill, Los Lunas Tigers' tight ends will be ready to make big plays in the 5A classification.
