Don’t let the name of these [tag]football practice drills[/tag] confuse you. We can all benefit from techniques of other sports and apply them to our own needs.

This [tag]football drill[/tag] helps the players keep eye contact on the [tag]football[/tag] as well as developing good hand eye coordination which helps both receivers and D-Backs stay focused on the ball with traffic around them.

We call this drill the Volleyball Drill-–
Purpose:     Help defensive coverage personnel and offensive receiving personnel with hand eye coordination
Positions:   Linebackers, Defensive backs, Receivers and running backs

Description of drill:
Two players line up facing each other 3-5 yards apart.
One of the players has the football and uses a volleyball setting technique to hit the ball to the player facing them.
The two players shuffle sideways hitting the ball back in forth for 10-20 yards.

This drill also adds some fun to our [tag]football practice[/tag]. To make it more difficult, put out bags for them to have to step over.
