Building a Fortress: Kaukauna Ghosts OL Drill for Dominant Play
The Kaukauna Ghosts' 5A program is renowned for its stout offensive line play, and a key component of their success lies in a specific drill designed to fortify their blockers. The 'Box Drill' targets the OL's ability to maintain position and generate power in the trenches. Set up a 10-yard box with cones, with two OL players starting in the center. On the whistle, the linemen explode into a three-point stance, then drive their feet into the ground, keeping their weight transfer focused on their back leg. As they push into the box, they're instructed to 'fill the hole' with their chest and shoulders, maintaining a tight, compact frame. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, rest 30 seconds between sets. This drill translates to game performance by teaching OL players to stay disciplined, maintain leverage, and generate power through proper weight transfer.
