How to run this drill

The Football Coach 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.

From Dan”¦

Idea for Defense-Line [tag]drill[/tag]:

Make a large circle about 8ft round.
You can use cones or an old rope or garden hose can substitute.

Four or five players holding blocking bags line themselves around the inside edge of the circle.
A D-Line player can work one direction and then the other. Runs around the outside edge of the circle punching down on the [tag]blocking[/tag] bag with his right hand while ‘ripping up and thru with the left (while running counter clockwise, reverse direction to finish the drill).

Object is to [tag]practice[/tag] rip move while taking an outside bellied rush.
Player can change places till everyone has completed the drill.

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.
