How to run this drill

Football Receiver Drills 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 Greg,
We call this [tag]football[/tag] [tag]drill[/tag], the fumble drill.

We form the boys into 2 single file lines with a coach in the middle.
The [tag]coach[/tag] [tag]throw[/tag]s the football down, usually on the end so it takes off. The first two run after it. The one who comes up with the ball is the winner and gets back into line.
The one who didn’t come up with the ball goes off to the side and starts clapping.
It keeps going round after round until you get a winner.
The kids really love it and it creates great competition, they ask for it at every [tag]practice[/tag]. We do this as the last part of our practice, it gets them [tag]running[/tag] and also instills in their memory about recovery fumbles.

This helped us out several times last year.

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.
