Quarterbacks have to go through receiver progressions to make the best passing decisions on the field. These football passing plays teach these skills early on.
What you need – You need a quarterback and a three-receiver combination (2 WR, 1 TE or 2 WR, 1RB, etc).
How this drill works – On the snap, the receivers will run their patterns at ¾ speed as the quarterback drops back. The quarterback should have his head up, and looking downfield at his receivers. The coaches should have a primary, secondary and tertiary target picked out before the play.
The quarterback will look at each of his targets in this drill before deciding which one is the best choice. He will make the pass to the appropriate player. The ball should be released within 3 seconds of setting at the end of his drop. Quarterbacks at this age can work up to that point.
Result – Recognition skills are crucial for making the right pass at the right time during a football game. Learning this skill early will help the player at higher levels.
