Special thanks to John and Ken for sending these in. If you’ve every struggled with fresh ideas for drills for youth football camps, you should try these out!
From John…
For a fun football drill, and teaching of leverage…we play “Towel Fight”.
We get 3 boys to all hold onto a towel, (one in the middle, and the other two at opposite ends). We then circle up around them. We put 3 cones out, about 10 feet away from each player. The first player to touch a cone while holding the towel is the winner.
It teaches advantage, determination, competition, problem solving, and survival.
From Ken…
Instead of running standard sprints for end of practice conditioning and cool down, divide the players into groups and have them compete in relay races where each player runs up and back completing 2 normal sprint distances each turn. 3 out of 5, 5 out of 7, or however many sprints, 2 per relay, you desire.
Loser puts bags and shields away after practice. The players love it.
