This is a great conditioning drill for football players that helps work on a breakdown position, but also keeping the feet moving, which they should be doing on all plays. These flag football drills are great for all football players. 
What you need – Have your players make four lines. It doesn’t matter which players are in which lines, and they can mix about in each line. The coach will stand about 10 yards in front of them.
How this drill works – The players will all be lined up in their lines, and the first four players will step forward. The players will start in the breakdown position – knees bent, arms in front of them, bottoms dropped –essentially the way one would be prior to tackling.
The players will start quickly chopping their feet up and down, continuing this until the whistle blows. Once the whistle blows, the players quickly drop down to their belly and then bounce back up to their feet, which will still be moving rapidly.
You can add an extra element to this drill by having the coach point one direction or another, and players must shuffle their feet in the direction the coach is pointing, while keeping them moving up and down – shown with the player in the left corner of the diagram.
Result – This is a great conditioning drill for all players.
