Full drill
I came up with these [tag]football training drills[/tag] from my years of experience coaching football and soccer. I am embarrassed when I see a youth football team practicing near a youth soccer team. Usually the soccer players are moving, active and all participating in a drill at the same time and the football players are mostly standing in line watching 2-4 players participating in a drill.
Therefore, I have adopted several soccer practice principles into my [tag]football practice[/tag]s. For example, during warm-ups I have all the players carry a football during all running drills, then I have boys partner up with another player and share a ball doing many different drills i.e., hot potato, shotgun snap to partner, each alternates playing QB and WR doing 3 step drops in unison and having them all call out the cadence together.
The boys line up in pairs 5-10 yds apart in two lines facing each other. I recommend doing this type of drill once per week for 5-15 minutes.
This helps everyone:
ӢTouch the ball
ӢGet comfortable throwing and catching the ball
ӢLearn the cadence
ӢLearn to shotgun snap
ӢImprove their eye-hand coordination
ӢImprove team morale
