Eagles Fly High: S Players' Agility Ladder Drill
Graham-Kapowsin Eagles' secondary is looking sharp this pre-season, and it all starts with their agility ladder drills. Coach Thompson's squad is implementing the 'Ladder Weave' to improve their S players' speed, agility, and reaction time. The drill consists of 3 sets of 10 reps, with 30 seconds of rest in between. Players start in a 3-point stance, then weave through the ladder with their feet, focusing on quick footwork and explosive acceleration. Coaching cues include 'light on your feet' and 'explosive out of the ladder.' This drill translates to game performance by improving S players' ability to quickly close gaps and change direction on the fly, making them more effective in pass coverage and run support.
