What We Do
Lowcountry Quarterback Academy is South Carolina’s elite quarterback training and development company. Founded by former Charleston Southern quarterback, Danny Croghan, Lowcountry QB currently trains middle school, high school and college quarterbacks in the Charleston area. Our training sessions focus on proper footwork, mobility, and throwing mechanics. Our goal is to give our quarterbacks the tools and confidence they need to be successful at every level of the game.
Our Approach
When playing quarterback, attention to detail is crucial. Our quarterbacks build a solid foundation by learning the fundamentals first. After our quarterbacks have mastered the fundamentals, we progress onto advanced principles of the game based on the offensive systems they play in and the defensive systems they compete against.
Our mission is to make an everlasting impact on our clients. We design every session to maximize our client’s potential and realize individual goals. During our sessions, we work on the following:
Foot speed, lateral quickness and agility
Footwork in the pocket and on the run
Pocket presence and escape skills
Shoulder strength and durability
Throwing mechanics
Throwing accuracy
Regardless of age of skill level, we have what you need. Whether it be start on your middle school team, make first-team all-region, or earn a full scholarship to the college of your choice, Lowcountry Quarterback Academy will give you the tools and confidence to be successful.
