Conditioning Drills for Football – Ultimate Football

During our conditioning camp last spring one of the favorite [tag]conditioning drills for football[/tag] was a game called Ultimate Football.   This is a fast paced [tag]football drill[/tag]/game that emphasizes passing, receiving and pass defense, as well as conditioning.

Here are the rules:
Pick teams dividing them as evenly by talent as possible.
Kick-off or throw-off, then receiving team moves up the field by pass only.   Passes can be forward, backward, or lateral.

Once a pass is completed, the receiver has to stop where the [tag]football[/tag] was caught and he becomes the passer.   Play continues until there is a score, an incompletion, or interception by the defense.   An incompletion or interception turns the ball over to the other team going the other way.   We allow the defense 5 seconds to reset after a turnover.

Fast transition is the key to scoring.   Pass interference counts as a completion for the offense.
