How to run this drill
Youth Football Conditioning Drills – Team Gasers 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
We have youth football conditioning drills that the kids love and hate at the same time, call em’ “TEAM GASERS!”
Team Gasers
Split your team in 2.
Have the first kid do his “gaser” then when he comes back to his team he grabs the hand of the next kid and they both do a gaser.
You keep doing this until the whole half of the team does a complete gaser with their whole half of their team without breaking the chain they have made.
Basically we’re teaching the kids to work together as a team and at the same time making them think when they’re tired.
The trick is to make sure that the kid who starts the drill is the kid that the team pivots the entire chain around since he’s the one that has been running the most.
Broom Stick Tip
Use a broom stick and have the offensive and defensive lineman grab the broom and pull and push to work on foot work and balance. T
The defense will be the ones who are designated to pull and push. The O lineman adjust.
