There are a couple of football drills I like to run, which my players really enjoy.
The first football drill is the “In the Crowd” drill. So often during our games the quarterback tends to throw a football that is in the middle of a crowd and, essentially, up for grabs.
I generally run this football drill in the beginning where I line up my players shoulder to shoulder. They stand about 15 yards from me. I then proceed to throw different kinds of passes, mostly a lob type throw. The players battle for the ball in the air. I have a competition that allows the player to exit as soon as he has caught 2 passes. By doing this, the crowd gets smaller and more people compete for the pass. The last player standing gets to run a lap. It creates a great deal of competition, but also develops the focusing on the ball instinct. This drill helps you both offensively and defensively. Our defense’s interception total greatly increased after I started running this drill a year or so ago.
The second drill is my 1 minute drill. I run this at the end of the game. I give the offense a formation to run out of. It is a formation that has different pass patterns for the receivers. They have 1 minute to start the drill from their own 5 yard line. They have to go down the field in that minute or the game is over. It is a no-huddle drill. Once the first play is finished, they quickly line up again and run out of the same formation. The clock never stops.
It is a drill that helps teach poise, structure and the ability to march down field under pressure. The kids really enjoy this drill. It also helps the defense in reading and reacting.
