Youth Football Drills - Pursuit Drill

Footall Drills>Pursuit Drill
| Purpose: |
Great
drill to teach defensive personnel proper pursuit angles while
providing conditioning. |
| Procedure: |
The defense huddles on a selected line of scrimmage. Align two
cones, one on each side of the field on top of the numbers.
Position a running back on each hashmark, five yards behind
the selected line of scrimmage. The coach calls out the defensive
play. The defense lines up accordingly in proper stance and
alignments. On the cadence, the coach either drops straight
back and throws the ball deep or turns and simulates a toss
sweep. If the coach drops straight back, the defensive line
rushes and the secondary and linebackers drop to respective
zones. The coach throws the ball deep, and the defender intercepts
the football at its highest point and returns it up the near
sideline. The remaining defenders set up a wall leading the
ball carrier into the end zone. If the coach simulates a toss
sweep, the ball carrier on the hashmark sprints around the cone
and down the sidelines.
