Unlock Explosive Speed with the 3-Cone Shuttle Drill
For 6A programs like Lake Travis Cavaliers, speed is a crucial component of a successful offense. To help S players like senior sensation Tyler Johnson, we've developed a drill that targets acceleration, agility, and reaction time. The 3-Cone Shuttle Drill consists of three 5-yard cones set up in a triangular formation. Players start at the top cone, then dash to the bottom cone, back to the middle cone, and finally to the top cone. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, resting for 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues include 'quick feet,' 'stay low,' and 'change direction fast.' This drill translates to game performance by improving a player's ability to quickly change direction and accelerate out of cuts. It's an essential addition to any S player's pre-season training regimen.
