If you are coaching youth football, I know you are continuously searching for drills and tips to keep your practices fresh. Here are two football drills that work well for me. Give them a try and let me know how they work for you.
This first football drill is for defensive backs:
Starting at the top left corner
1.Begin by sprinting to top right corner
2.Back peddle down to lower right corner
3.Shuffle to the lower left corner
4. Sprint back up to top left corner
5.Sprint diagonally to lower right corner
6.Repeat drill 3 times
Note: You can use cones and space them 7 yards apart across the top and 5 yards apart along the side.
The second drill is aimed on improving our RB to WR exchange for reverses.
I break my team into 2 teams. Each team will get into two lines spaced about 15 yards apart and facing each other with 2 or 3 kids in each line. One player runs at the other and they work on exchanging the football cleanly. I will also put a string on the ground to assure proper spacing so that they don’t run into each other.
The football team that goes through a cycle with no drops and clean hand-offs wins.
