Catching the ball with the feet in-bounds is an excellent receiving skill for the youth football coach to work on. For quarterbacks, throwing the ball to the sideline helps build accuracy for this throw.
What you need – You can split this football drill into two stations, one on each sideline, each station with a quarterback (or two), and a line of receivers about 10 yards out from the sideline.
How this drill works – This drill is the same for receivers each time it is run, however it can be done three different ways for quarterbacks.
In the first one, on the snap of the ball the receiver sprints toward the sideline and the QB takes a three-step drop and then fires the ball to the sideline. The catch must be made in bounds.
In the second one, on the snap of the ball, the QB can be on a sprint out and attempts to make the same pass.
For the third part, you can have the quarterback right up against the sideline and throwing directly in front of him to the receiver at the sideline. This can be done on either sideline. QB’s and receivers should switch up the side they are on to get work on both sides.
Result – QB gets work throwing sideline routes and receivers work on concentrating on the ball while making sure they are in bounds.
