Route Timing

Home » Drills » Route Timing

Perfecting routes is a meticulous art in football, requiring endless repetitions and coordination among players. With Dashr's technology, the time taken to get into position with your route becomes measurable. Imagine the efficiency gained by assigning a numerical value to each movement. Whether it's an Out Route or any other route, Dashr ensures your moves are sharp, precise, and perfectly timed.

Drill Instructions

This drill uses 2 or 3 Dashr|Blue Timing gates (3 if you have the 5 split). You likely already have your devices registered, if not – please check out the Flying Drill as it is the same process.

Step-By-Step Instructions

You will use a 2-point start for this drill, so we recommend using the Flying drill or the 10 yard dash under Sport Collections > Volleyball > 10 yd Dash. Both will do the same thing.
To set-up this drill you will have a starting gate on regular tripods extended to about waist height.
If you are including a split, set that up on regular tripods as well.
Set-up the finish laser at waist height at the 10 yard mark.
Power on all lasers, and connect them one at a time.
Once all devices are connected, press “Start Testing”.

Running The Drill

Check in the appropriate athlete (details here) – optional.
With QuickRun on, when the athlete moves through the starting gate -timing will start (time will turn blue – indicating that timing is taking place), and you get a result when you cross the next gate.
With QuickRun off (option in settings) you will see “Set” and “Reset” buttons to give you control of when a test starts. Press “Set” once the athlete is ready to take off. Press “Reset” to clear the time for the next athlete.

Recommended Equipment

The Dashr App

2-Gate System

You don’t have to be tech-savvy to harness the power of Dashr. If you can use a stopwatch, you can use our system. Even better, when you use the Dashr App, you can set it and forget it so you can focus on your athletes, not the clipboard.
