How to run this drill

Football Speed and Agility 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 Henry,
I place a [tag]football[/tag] on a flat cone behind an [tag]offensive lineman[/tag] (about seven yards). I then place two about a yard apart at the line of scrimmage. I then have an offensive lineman and [tag]defensive lineman[/tag] line up between the cones.

The idea is for the defensive lineman to get to the ball without going outside of the two cones and touch the ball within a certain amount of time (usally 5-8 seconds). We give the offensive lineman a point if he stops the defensive lineman from getting it within a certain amount of time.

From Sam,
It’s a [tag]football tackling drill[/tag] that starts with 2 players on their back about 5 feet apart. One player has the ball and the other will be the tackler. The coach blows the whistle and both players get up as fast as they can and the runner tries to get by the tackler and the tackler goes after the runner.

A great [tag]football drill[/tag] to teach quickness getting off the ground and still making the play. Thanks!!

Coaching tips

  • Keep one cue per rep so kids hear the same language every time.
