How to run this drill

Football Plays and Drills – Quarterback Power Sweep 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 are [tag]football plays and   drills[/tag] I came up with on a quarterback keeper power sweep.   Here is how to set the play up, and then the blocking [tag]football drill[/tag] for the backs.

Have the center, guard, tackle, tight end, and split end all on the power side seal blocking.   Guard on weak side is pulling and the tackle on the weak side is to take out the outside linebacker or end on the weak side, whoever is coming backside to disrupt the [tag]football play[/tag].

All three backs sweep around the end creating a wall for the quarterback.
Now, the actual football drill is as follows:

Set up the three running backs in their positions, with three guys on defense in front of them 7-10 yards off.
Whistle starts play.
Set up two cones that the backs have to stay between to make sure they keep proper position.
QB takes off around end.
The backs are responsible for blocking the three defenders.
After we get the three defenders down, I throw in a fourth to see how they handle the open man to make sure they keep position, and keep defense away from QB by maintaining position and creating the wall.

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.
