Objective – Teach hand-eye coordination and basic receiving skills.

Action – Position 4-5 receivers on a line and have them face a lone receiver positioned about 10-15 yards from them. Give one [tag]football[/tag] to the lone receiver and one football to one of the others.

The [tag]football receiver drill[/tag] begins with the lone receiver throwing a pass to a receiver in the line. At the same time, the receiver with the ball in line passes to the lone receiver. Keep this cycle up for a sufficient amount of reps, then slide everyone sideways until each player has a chance to be the “Lone Ranger”.

Coaching Details – Make sure each receiver is hooking the ball in and catching with their hands.

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.
