How to run this drill

Flag Football Practice Drills – QB Read and Accuracy 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

These [tag]flag football practice drills[/tag] will work on reads and progressions and then making the right pass for quarterbacks.Flag Football Practice Drills

What you need – You can set this [tag]football[/tag] [tag]drill[/tag] up with your quarterbacks and 4 targets.   The targets can start off as tackling dummies, and can eventually work up to live receivers.

How this drill works – In this drill, the QB is going to work on making progression reads and hitting the targets.   At first the targets will not be moving, but as the QB progresses, the targets will be live.  

On the snap of the ball, the [tag]quarterback[/tag] will make his first read and then throw the ball.   Then on the next snap, the QB will look at his first read, then progress to the second read and then throw the ball.   Then progress to the third read, throw and so on – right to the fourth read and throw.  

Once you add live targets, this drill becomes more difficult, as the quarterback will have to make the read and then gauge the speed of the receiver to make the throw.   The coach can place the targets where he wants, according to where a receiver might be on a set play.

Result – This is another drill where QB’s can learn to make their proper reads and progressions in order to make the right throw on the field.

 

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.
