Football Training Drills – Lone Ranger Drill

As a coach, I often turn to   the classic but effective [tag]football training drills[/tag]. This drill teaches hand-eye coordination and basic receiving skills.

Position 4-5 receivers on a line and have them face a lone receiver positioned about 5 yards from them. Give one [tag]football[/tag] to the lone receiver and one ball to one of the others.

The football receiver drill begins with the lone receiver throwing a pass to a receiver in the line. At the same time, the receiver with the ball in line passes to the lone receiver.

Keep this cycle up for a sufficient amount of reps, then slide everyone sideways until each player has a chance to be the “Lone Ranger”.

Coaching Detail: Make sure each receiver is locking the ball in and catching with their hands.
