3 on 3 Passing

Purpose

To give DBs and WRs a chance to work on passing and defending against zone coverage.

Set Up

• Have an offensive team (2 WRs, 1 QB) and a defensive team (2 CBs, 1 DB/LB) line up on the field.   The QB will need a football as well.   The WRs and CBs will be in their normal alignment, with the DB 10 yards deep over the middle.

Instructions

1. Before the play, tell the WRs and QB what play they are running.
2. The QB will then snap the ball, make a read, and attempt to hit an open WR.
3. Cycle in a new 3 after each play.

Coaching Tips

• This can be a really fun competitive team drill.   Do Winners Stay On, and see if you can crown a 3 on 3 champion squad on your team!
• Be sure to work on a variety of routes, and keep contact to a minimum – we are working on route running and coverage here, not tackling.
