How to run this drill
Free Youth Football Coaching Drills – Practice Stations 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.
- Read the purpose once, then walk the setup on air before live tempo.
- Demonstrate one clean rep so players see landmarks, pad level, and finish.
- Run short competitive periods — quality reps beat long lines.
- Close with one coaching cue players can repeat in the huddle next period.
Full drill
I’ve gotten a whole bunch of requests for free youth football coaching drills over the past few weeks. Here’s an idea that Thomas in Canada sent in.
From Thomas…
I am the head football coach with the Alberta, Canada, Peewee (11-12) and Atom (8-10) football program.
As for a daily football practice drill (try this):
At each practice, right after warm up, the team splits into three groups.
Three stations are set up:
1. Lineman Hamburger hill (wide stance/ take off/ sprint)
2. Bag block
3. Bag tackle
Allow 5 min. per station, rotate kids in groups of 10-12, made as a nightly routine, variations only in the station [tag]football drill[/tag] type.
TOTAL TIME: 20 min.
As the football season progresses, all players progress in what is considered the 3 most important physical aspects of the game.
Time well spent.
