How to run this drill

Football Training Drills – Hamburger Drill 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

If you’re looking for effective [tag]football training drills[/tag], try the one below.   We use this [tag]football drill[/tag] called Hamburger.

  • 2 equal lines that are 5 yards apart and for what I call a tunnel.
  • 1 line is ball carriers, the other line are tacklers.
  • 1 player from each line lays on their back with their helmets facing inside the tunnel.
  • On the coach’s whistle each player has to get up and run on the outside of the tunnel.
  • The ball carrier is trying to get across the end line and the tackler is trying to stop him.

This [tag]football[/tag] drill works on several things: agility to get up off your back quickly, runners to lower shoulders, stay square and run over the tackler. The tacklers learn to breakdown with good, form tackling 1 on 1 skills.

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.
