Two of my readers actually suggested these ideas for youth football at a recent practice. I’ve included them for you below. Keep em coming!
From Mark,
Here is a football drill we use for the snap count.
All the plays circle around the QB. The QB says the count then continues with the snap count. All the players must clap in unison when the count comes up. If not we either run or bear crawl to our favorite spot and start over. We do this till we get 6 in a row correct.
This is done every practice. For a twist we use a center and clap on ball movement.
From Allen,
We begin practice by playing a quick game of tag.
The last 4, or the persons tagged at a certain points (i.e.: 3rd, 5th, 11th, and 17th) are the leaders for stretching and exercises.
This gets the blood pumping and allows for a random selection of leaders for the day. Two or Three people are chosen at random to be “it” and a boundary is designated by cones. This exercise also helps with team building and makes practice “fun”.
