Football Drills for Kids – Bear Crawl-Crab Crawl Drill

This is one of the football drills for kids that I recommend.  It is a favorite with the players and the skill improvements speak for themselves.

Drill:  Bear Crawl/Crab Crawl Fumble Drill

•  Have two lines

•  One football player from each line does a Bear Crawl or Crab Crawl (both lines does the same crawl).

•  The football coach throws a ball in the air.

•  When it hits the ground the players can get up and run to the ball.

•  The first player to the ball picks it up and runs back from where they originally started from (the finish line).

•  The other player must tackle the player with the ball before he reaches the finish line, if not, he does 5 push-ups.

Positive:  I get a good response from the kids, they enjoy this football drill.

Negative:  The only problem with this drill is it does not teach the kids to drop on a fumble.
