Try these ideas for [tag]pre-season drills for football[/tag]. After pre-season practice, when 2x days are over, begin practicing team time the entire practice.
During team time you can teach fundamentals and techniques, but this way you will have seen the opponents offense, defense and special teams several hundred times before game time. Also, you will be practicing exactly as you play–11 on 11.
During pre-season, continually drill and execute techniques until the players are sick of it. That way, when the actual [tag]football[/tag] season begins, you’ll have focused on technique and drills about as much as your opponent come game time.
Your advantage is that you will have seen and practiced against your opponent several hundred more times than your opponent will have practiced against your offense, defense and ST.
