Chris, one of my readers, sent this one to me last week. A great example of [tag]football coach receiver drills[/tag] that don’t require a coaching PhD to figure out.
From Chris”¦
One of the [tag]football[/tag] [tag]drills[/tag] that I like to do is called Jump Ball. It is a simple [tag]drill[/tag].
You’ll need your QB and a line of [tag]receivers[/tag] on the right or left.
The QB calls the cadence and snaps the ball.
The [tag]receiver[/tag] heads downfield parallel to the sideline looking over his inside shoulder..
The QB throws the ball high and outside on purpose so the receiver must leave his feet to get the ball.
The receiver makes the [tag]catch[/tag] but must be aware of where his feet come down.
The object of the drill is to get the receiver to be aware of where he is in relation to the sideline and to come down with the ball [tag]inbounds[/tag].
This is also a good drill for the QB. It gives him the practice of putting the ball where the receiver can get it, and the defender can’t..
I usually start this drill at half speed until the players get it, and then we turn up the speed. You can also add in a [tag]defender[/tag] once everyone is on the same page.
