Looking for youth football drills? You’ve come to the right place! Try out these ideas below and let me know how it goes for you.
From Cedric…
We ran a football drill last year that made running sprints and also built a sense of team.
What we did was line the kids up in a single line (we had a baseball diamond that we used. It gave us somewhat of a circle to run around) and what we did was start the kid in the rear. Once he gets half way around the other players, the next player starts on and so on. As this is going the entire team is going around the diamond at a trot pace. Once the last player goes we trot for 30 seconds then start it over.
While we are doing this the coach has a chance to do some motivation. We try and do it military style keeping the line strait keeping the kids off the grass etc.
This is a great way to make running fun.
From Duane…
Take a baseball bat.
Have all players or running backs line up in 1 line.
The player will lean his helmet on the top of the bat as the base of bat is on the ground.
He must spin 3-4 times around the bat the let go of bat and the sprint 20yards.
We all have a good time and it teaches them balance and how to keep focus if they spin out of a tackle.
