This is a fast paced and very competitive drill that the
kids seem to love. One of the best conditioning drills for
the younger age groups because they enjoy the competition
so much. (Coaching Point: Try to make your teams are as
even as possible from a skill level and try to make sure
that all the players are involved.)
Use
as much of your field area as possible. If you have too
many players then divide your players in to three teams
and rotate teams with the winning team staying on.
The
concept is simple. The team with the ball must pass the
ball to teammates without dropping it while moving towards
the end zone.
- The
player with the football has 8 seconds to pass or pitch
the ball to a teammate.
- The
ball can be passed forward or pitched sideways or backwards
only.
- The
player with the ball can take only two steps after catching
it.
- The
offensive players without the ball can move anywhere on
the field to get open.
- 6
Points are awarded for a touchdown and after the touchdown
the ball to the defensive team or the team rotating in.
The ball starts on the 5 yard line.
- If
the ball is dropped or intercepted, play continues with
the the team in possession at the point of the turnover.
- The
defenders must stay at arms length from the player with
the ball.
Key
Points: Make sure all players have opportunities to catch
and throw the ball. Make sure the receivers are finding
open areas and not bunching.
