American football is the only sport I coach the athlete to start with their hand on the ground, because that is standard for their testing. Your body is split by the cone, centered up, always facing the cone. The stance to teach the athlete should be narrow enough to take a correct first step without over-striding. The direction you start itself doesn’t matter because we always train both ways. I’ve heard others say the opposite, but I disagree. If you are going to start right, I coach the left hand starts on the ground.
Whatever direction they start, they run five yards to a boundary cone, turn and run ten yards to the opposite boundary cone, then turn and run five yards through the middle cone where they started.

It practices two full changes of direction - a 180º turn each way - in as small a space as necessary. Its simplicity is what makes it so great. You should execute this drill to develop lateral speed and quickness. It is not considered a sport-specific COD drill. This falls under the COD Speed Training theme.
However, in this instance, the shuttling back-and-forth is running. Since we have variations that change the movement patterns, it’s understandable where there can be confusion. For whatever reason(s), some youth hear “shuttle” and think shuffle. Remember, for those athletes who are the newest into the sport, they may not make that correlation at the beginning.Īlso, reiterate the standard movement pattern is running, not shuffling. Teach your athletes the name “5-10-5” correlates with the distance of the three phases of the drill (running five yards, then ten, then five yards). For example, when you hear “pro shuttle,” you should think 5-10-5, not 6-12-6 or 4-8-4. It gets the qualifier “pro” simply because it denotes the particular “official” set-up, thus delineating it from other similar drills. In total, it is a 20-yard drill containing two changes of direction with a path that stays in the same plane.

The 5-10-5 Pro Shuttle is a COD drill where the standard version is three cones in a straight line, each five yards apart. So, for the drill we are discussing this week, the Pro Shuttle is the 5-10-5 and the 5-10-5 is the Pro Shuttle. Some drills have multiple names and youth athletes especially may not realize they are one in the same. We'll be looking at each drill in depth, starting with the Pro Shuttle this week.Īs simple as this sounds, one of the most important things to do is make sure your athletes understand the name of the drill. They are the Pro Shuttle, aka the “5-10-5,” and the 3-Cone Drill, aka the “L” Drill. They are speed drills, and they are so indicative of athleticism that other sports utilize them in their combines as well. However, that’s not because they are football drills.

Two of the COD drills to start our Spring Series are both main events at the NFL Combine. While it feels like it took forever to get here, it also feels like forever ago that they were hosting the NFL Combine. Here’s to your team drafting their missing link.
