Silver Foxes Spotlight: CB Drills for Success
📍 Dutch Fork Silver Foxes·Friday, July 17, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
Cornerbacks at 5A programs like Dutch Fork's Silver Foxes need to be quick, agile, and precise in their footwork and reactions. To improve these skills, we recommend the 'Shuttle-Backpedal' drill. Set up four cones in a square shape, with the first and third cones 5 yards apart and the second and fourth cones 5 yards apart. Players start at the first cone, shuffling to the second cone, backpedaling to the third cone, and then shuffling back to the first cone. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, focusing on staying low and keeping the back foot anchored. Coaching cues include 'stay light on your feet' and 'keep your eyes on the target.' This drill translates to game performance by improving reaction time and quickness in changing directions.
