Football Training Equipment – Step Overs

John, one of my subscribers, came up with some great suggestions for football training equipment that doesn’t break the budget and works great. Keep ‘em coming!

From John…
I want to share an idea that I used for our Pop Warner football team a few years back.

This involves a relatively cheap way for football coaches to supply their teams with “step over’s”. They can use five “step over’s” to run different agility/footwork football drills that will benefit their teams all season long.

The Idea: Purchase 25 swimming pool 5 foot tubular float devices (should cost about $50).

–Assemble each of 5 devices stacked as a pyramid when viewed “on-end”.

–Tie together with ½ inch nylon “slip-straps” purchased at any hardware store. Usually secure near ends and in middle of your “step-over”.

–Place duct tape around nylon straps to guard against abrasions if a kid falls on the “step-over” during a football drill.

There you have it, a safe, effective and cheap way to provide your kids with a great football training aid practice station that can be used season after season.
