Take a look at these football drills from Kim and from Mark. Two great examples of youth football speed drills that can work with all age groups.
From Kim,
#1 Practice drive blocking
Have a coach hold a dummy to be blocked and have an assistant hold another dummy between the blocker’s legs as he blocks the dummy. This forces the blocker to keep a wide stance as he drives the coach back.
#2 Here’s a 7 on 7 passing (skeleton)drill
Center and 2 lineman, 3 receivers and a QB.
Cover the whole field. The action is live but no hitting the QB. It is fun, lots of running, and the kids learn some ball skills both catching and defending the pass as well as tackling in the open field.
From Mark,
I do a flag pull drill and have a championship showdown at the end.
Set up cones 10 yards apart (wide) and 15-20 yards apart (long). Players lay on their backs. When I say go, one has the ball and tries to run by the flag puller. After the drill, i select my top runner and top flag puller and have a showdown!
The kids love the competition!!!
