FridayNightPulse: Long Island Lutheran Crusaders LB Drill
📍 Long Island Lutheran Crusaders·Saturday, July 11, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
This summer, AA programs like Long Island Lutheran Crusaders are focusing on developing their linebackers' agility and reaction time through a specific drill. The 'L-Shape Shuffle' drill involves setting up two cones 5 yards apart in an 'L' shape, with a third cone 10 yards away from the starting point. Players start at the starting point, shuffle through the 'L' shape, and then react to a coach's whistle by shuffling back to the starting point. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, resting 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues include 'quick feet' and 'stay low.' This drill translates to game performance by improving a linebacker's ability to quickly close gaps and react to ball carriers. It also enhances their agility and speed in tight spaces.
