How to run this drill

Football Linemen Training 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.

From Rob,
I am the Head Coach of our Junior Pee-Wee [tag]football[/tag] team in New Hampshire. I also [tag]coach[/tag] [tag]tight-ends[/tag] for the local high school.

With my young [tag]linemen[/tag] I find that they have a habbit of standing up out of their 3point stance before engaging the [tag]defensive player[/tag]. I have the following [tag]drill[/tag] that has worked well.   I take a tarp and have parents hold the corners and keep the tarp just above the players heads. I then have the players drive out of their 3point stance and stay low until the und of the tarp.   I know that there are shoots that are professionally made but this is a nice cheap way to do it.

My players all stay low and we both know in football the low man always wins.

Here’s another tip for your youth team [tag]practice[/tag]:
From Justin,
To keep all the kids having fun at the end of practice instead of just running [tag]sprints[/tag] or jogging around the field sometimes I strap the flags on myself and the kids have to pull my flags before we leave practice.

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.
