What It Is

Our 5v5 Lineman Offseason Program is a specialized development system designed for offensive and defensive linemen. Instead of full-team plays, athletes compete in structured 1-on-1 battles, maximizing reps and skill development in a controlled, high-energy environment.

This is not “game football”—it’s elite preparation.

How It Works

  • 1v1 Matchups: Offensive linemen (center, guards, tackles) battle defensive linemen (ends, tackles) in designated zones

  • Multiple High-Quality Reps: Short, intense bursts with continuous feedback

  • Stance & Spacing: 2-foot spacing from 2- or 3-point stances

  • Scoring System: Points awarded for dominant blocks or defensive wins

Key Focus Areas

  • Technique Mastery: Footwork, hand placement, leverage, balance, and power

  • Pass-Rush & Blocking Skills: Counters, anchoring, maintaining blocks

  • Strength & Agility: On-field drills paired with structured gym work

  • Game Awareness: Reading stunts, pressure, and defensive movement

Why It Matters

  • More Reps, More Growth: Linemen get focused development often missed in team practices

  • Confidence Building: Competing daily sharpens belief and performance

  • Exposure & Recognition: Linemen get a platform to showcase their skills

  • Offseason Advantage: Programs typically run December–May, keeping athletes sharp year-round

THE HAMMERS WAY

At Hammers Elite Athletics, our philosophy is built on one simple truth:


You’re Either the HAMMER or the Nail.

This mindset goes beyond physical dominance. It represents total mastery of the Mind, Body, and Soul—the foundation of an athlete who excels not only on the field, but in life. We don’t train to survive pressure.

WE TRAIN TO APPLY IT!
