Full drill
The objective of these [tag]wide receiver drills[/tag] are to teach players how to catch the ball at the sidelines.
Sideline Drill
Action – Position the receivers in a line about 5 yards in from the sideline. At the snap, the first player runs a short out route and the quarterback throws the ball. The wide receiver then makes the catch with both hands and concentrates on keeping both feet in bounds.

Variations:
Have the receivers catch, then turn up field and run up the sideline.
Have them catch it one-handed as they fall out-of-bounds.
Have the QB throw high or low passes.
