Purpose:

This drill is designed to help quarterbacks improve their accuracy and release time.

Setup:

Two players start out standing five yards apart and then move to 10 yards apart after six to eight reps. The coach should be nearby to call commands.

Execution:

  1. The quarterback with the ball gets in “profile” position, which means knees are bent, the lead shoulder is pointed toward the target and feet are moving.
  2. Receiver flashes a hand.
  3. Immediately upon seeing the flash of the hand, the quarterback throws the ball toward the hand.
  4. Perform six to eight repetitions.

Coaching Tips:

  • Again, pay close attention to grip and form during this exercise. Keeping balanced and properly shifting weight will help the quarterback improve accuracy.
