Eagles' Eye View: CB Drill for Graham-Kapowsin's Secondary
📍 Graham-Kapowsin Eagles·Wednesday, July 29, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
Graham-Kapowsin's cornerbacks are gearing up for a fierce 4A season, and Coach Thompson's staff has developed a drill to sharpen their skills. The 'Shadow Box' drill targets quick feet, agility, and reaction time. Set up a series of small cones or markers to create a 5x5 yard box. CBs will start in the center of the box, then react to a coach's whistle by sprinting to one side, changing direction, and covering a defender (or a coach holding a ball) in a tight space. Complete 3 sets of 10 reps, resting 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues: 'Stay low, stay fast, and stay on their hip.' This drill translates to game performance by replicating the quick changes of direction and spatial awareness required to cover receivers in tight spaces.
