How to run this drill

Football & Kicking & Drills – Kick Off Coverage 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.

  3. Run short competitive periods — quality reps beat long lines.
  4. Close with one coaching cue players can repeat in the huddle next period.

[tag]Kick off Coverage Drill[/tag]

Four Lines—Two on either side of the kicker and a couple of return guys taking turns returning the kicks.

There are two cones on the 20 yard line on the hashes. When the [tag]football[/tag] is kicked four players go sprinting down field. The return guy gets the ball and runs back and forth between the cones. The four coverage guys break down five yards away from the returner.

The four coverage players work on keeping the Returner on their inside eye.   After a few seconds a [tag]football coach[/tag] blows the whistle and the returner tries to get past the coverage players and the coverage players squeeze and tackle.

Can also work for punt coverage as well using only 2 coverage players.

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.
