Jerry in Massachusetts sent me this football conditioning drill that he uses for coaching football defense and offense. It can be used for any football player’s position with equally good effects. Check it out!
From Jerry
I call this football drill the Pancake Drill.
I am an Offensive-Line and Defensive-Line Coach but the drill can be used for any players position.
You need (4) shields held by a player. Space out each player with their shield every Ten Yards in a straight line and tell them to get ready and dig in. Your other players will form a straight line and the player in the front of the line will go first one at a time. The first player gets into their proper stance and at the whistle fires out and attempts to knock down (pancake) the 1st player with the shield. After that hit, which hopefully is a pancake, the player continues down the line to the next player and attempts to pancake him. After the player has completed the course of the (4) players and shields the drill is complete.
The kids get pumped up for this football conditioning drill. It brings out some aggressiveness and toughness. It’s very competitive and it’s also part of the conditioning of practice.
