Coach Bill Renner uses four drills with a towel to teach and coach quarterback throwing techniques. This is Drill 4 - Crossover Balance Hitch. The quarterback starts in a "top of the drop" position. On a "ready go" command he will take one crossover step, a balance step, and then one hitch up step. When his hitch step is done he will then rotate his hips and throw. He will do the drill with a rolled up towel in his hand which is doubled over. The quarterback is expected to be able to perform the "crossover balance", "step", "hips" and "throw" sequence correctly as a result of doing drills 1, 2 and 3 prior to this Crossover Balance Hitch Drill. This drill simulates the last crossover step in a 3,5 or 7 step drop with a hitch step to throw longer routes or to move up into the pocket. It requires the quarterback to come to balance to begin the throwing kinematic sequence after his hitch step. Do 2 sets of 5 reps. This is a live on-the-field video review session with 11-year old Connor Clark that Coach Renner does after each drill in his quarterback technique training sessions.
