Full drill
Purpose:
This team drill will help players to get in the proper stance pre-snap. It will also help them explode on the snap of the ball.
Set Up:
Players get in lines across the field. Each player needs to be able to have the space to explode forward. (The quarterbacks will need room to go backward.)
Execution:
- The coach will yell “Ready” and the players will plant their feet and prepare to get into their assigned stance.
- The coach will yell “Set” and the players will get into their specific stance that corresponds to their position.
- The coach will yell “Hut” and the players will explode forward three steps. (The quarterbacks will go into their drop back.)
- This drill should be repeated several times.
Coaching Tips:
- On each command coaches should be walking around and looking at all the players.
- Coaches should correct any stances that aren’t correct.
- Any players that explode too late or without energy should be corrected.
