How to run this drill

Flag Football Drills – Youth Flag Football Drill is built for youth, high-school, and volunteer coaches who need clear drill language — not a random cone circuit. Beginners can install the first progression; experienced staffs can layer competition.

  1. Read the purpose once, then walk the setup on air before live tempo.
  2. Demonstrate one clean rep so players see landmarks, pad level, and finish.
  3. Run short competitive periods — quality reps beat long lines.
  4. Close with one coaching cue players can repeat in the huddle next period.

Full drill

When coaching 6, 7, and 8 year olds [tag]flag football[/tag] I like to do [tag]flag football drills[/tag] that involves the center, QB, and receivers.

The receivers line up on the side as if they were going out for a pass. Any pass. (This can be changed up.)
QB calls his cadence and they run the [tag]football play[/tag]. Once the receiver runs his route the play is over. Instead of the receiver going back in line he now plays as a linebacker. As soon as the [tag]football[/tag] is snapped he rushes the QB trying to block the pass not to touch the QB.

I have found that this helps to keep the QB focused on the receiver but also knows there is someone after him. It also keeps everyone involved. You can also have the center try to block the linebacker.

Coaching tips

  • Keep one cue per rep so kids hear the same language every time.
  • Film the first live set; pause on footwork and finish, not just the ball.
  • Pair this drill with a matching play install so practice transfers to game day.
