Drills for Youth Football

This is one of the drills for youth football that Darwin sent to me. Great idea to keep up the momentum when you need it most! Try this out with your team tonight!

From Darwin,
This is a great football drill for making sure your team stays disciplined in your cadences. You know when you have 3rd and five in the fourth quarter and the other team is dead tired and you need that ever so important first down. Well with this drill your team will be more disciplined than not.

1. Have your coach step off 50 yards and line your kids side by side opposite of your coach.
2. Call your cadence on whatever you like; “on one, two, three or whatever floats your boat”.
3. Tell your kids to get in the ready position ” This is also a good time to focus on stance and posture”.
4. You then tell your kids to sprint to your coach on your selected cadence.
5. If they jump offsides, you then ask your coach to move back five yards.
6. If they don’t jump offsides, then you tell your coach to move five yards up. Your coach keeps coming towards the kids until he is five yards in front of your kids.
