Building a Stronger Coatesville Red Raiders O-Line: The 'Power Position' Drill
For 6A programs like Coatesville, dominating in the trenches is crucial. To improve their line play, we recommend incorporating the 'Power Position' drill into their summer training regimen. This drill focuses on developing the strength and technique needed to excel in the 'A' gap. The drill consists of three sets of 10 reps, with a 30-second rest period between sets. Players will start in a three-point stance, with their feet shoulder-width apart and hands on the ground. On the coach's whistle, they'll explosively drive their feet into the ground, extending their arms and maintaining a tight, compact body position. Coaching cues include 'Power through your legs' and 'Keep your chest up.' This drill translates to game performance by developing the strength and technique needed to seal the edge and create holes for the running back.
