How to run this drill
Flag Football Drills – The Rodeo 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.
- Read the purpose once, then walk the setup on air before live tempo.
- Demonstrate one clean rep so players see landmarks, pad level, and finish.
- Run short competitive periods — quality reps beat long lines.
- Close with one coaching cue players can repeat in the huddle next period.

Thanks to Matt for sending this one in. If you’ve every struggled with finding fresh ideas for [tag]flag football drills[/tag], you should try this out!
From Matt…
This is a [tag]football drill[/tag] called “The Rodeo“.
1) Take cones, and create a big “pen” (30′ X 30′) with a “gate” at the front.
2) Place 2 “cowboys” in the middle on each side of the the pen. (these are the linebackers)
3) Place a “bull” (running back) at the gate.
4) Hand the [tag]football[/tag] off on the word hike.
5) The RB’s goal is to maintain his/her flag as long as possible.
6) The bull with the best time wins. The cowboy with the most flags wins. The team of cowboys with the lowest average times win… this allows everyone a chance to do well, and enforces team play.
