This is one of the [tag]football drills for kids[/tag] that I recommend.   It is a favorite with the players and the skill improvements speak for themselves.

Drill:   Bear Crawl/Crab Crawl Fumble Drill

”¢   Have two lines

”¢   One [tag]football[/tag] player from each line does a Bear Crawl or Crab Crawl (both lines does the same crawl).

”¢   The [tag]football coach[/tag] throws a ball in the air.

”¢   When it hits the ground the players can get up and run to the ball.

”¢   The first player to the ball picks it up and runs back from where they originally started from (the finish line).

”¢   The other player must tackle the player with the ball before he reaches the finish line, if not, he does 5 push-ups.

Positive:   I get a good response from the kids, they enjoy this [tag]football drill[/tag].

Negative:   The only problem with this drill is it does not teach the kids to drop on a fumble.
