How to run this drill

Football Tips 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.

I received these suggestions on [tag]football tips[/tag] from George and from Joel. Keep em coming!Football Tips

From George,
My quick [tag]football tip[/tag] seems rather obvious but a lot of teams don’t do it:

On punt and kick teams, always kick the ball to the side. Never kick it down the middle. This effectively makes the field smaller, and I have found you frequently will get a recovery, on kickoff, as most little league teams do not spread out to cover the field on return teams.

Also you avoid the return teams “best back,” as he is typically sitting in the middle of the field waiting for the ball.

From Joel,
The purpose of this [tag]football drill[/tag] is for “Line Get-Offs”. Its called Tag.

Pair [tag]football[/tag] linemen together. One Defense and One Offense. The Offensive player stands at the depth of an offensive guard or tackle.
The defensive player is in his stance (Take Charge or Jet).
At the simulated snap the Offensive player back pedals as fast as he can and the defense player explodes of the snap, shooting hands and grasps the offensive player as quickly as possible.

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.
