Rams Ramp Up: La Salle Academy OL Summer Drill
As the summer heat intensifies, La Salle Academy's Division I football program is focusing on building a stronger, more cohesive offensive line. One key drill to watch is the 'Chain Reaction' series, designed to improve OL communication and timing. The drill involves three players: a center, guard, and tackle. The center calls a snap, while the guard and tackle work together to execute a double-team block. The twist: the guard and tackle must communicate and react to the center's snap before making contact with the defender. Run 3 sets of 10 reps, with a 30-second rest between sets. Coaching cues include 'set, snap, react' and 'lock out, drive through.' This drill translates to game performance by simulating the chaos of a live snap and allowing OL to develop trust and timing with their teammates.
