Receivers: Ball Safety Drill

When a receiver catches the ball, he must immediately place it in a safe ball-carrying position. The points of a proper reception are: First, open your hands with an open triangle. Second, keep your eyes on the ball throughout the catch. Third, secure the ball tight and high against your ribs, forearm, and biceps. The problem is that receivers have an obligation to start looking downfield before they have the ball properly secured. This mistake leads to incomplete passes or worse, a fumble. To avoid this, have two receivers throw at each other, and when they catch you, have them slow down so they stop on each catch, follow you, and put it in.

Strength and Conditioning: Up Downs

Of all the football conditioning drills, downs are one of the most popular. This drill involves having players run in place as fast and hard as they can. At the coaches’ signal, the players will drop to the ground and do a push, then quickly get up and start running again. Because this drill can be very strenuous, it is important to increase the time spent on this slowly as the player’s strength increases.

Powerful blocking strategy: double team

Soccer is all about strategy and finishing, or making weak points on your opponent. A great technique that will give you an advantage down the lane is the double team lock. This play is simple, double and go. If you ever need to go back to running or doing a big blitz, remember this technique. To execute this correctly, have both linemen walk together at the same time and touch your hips together. This forms an impenetrable line down the middle and since each lineman is on the edge of the opponent it will be very difficult to get around them. Hit the shoulders hard and hold onto the opponent as he pushes you back. Work fast and work hard

Basics of football transfers

Whether you’re a quarterback, a running back, or a player who’s going to get a transfer at any moment, you need to realize the basics of a great transfer. Let’s look at a simple transfer between a quarterback and running back to outline the basics of this skill. The running back initiates the hand by running toward the quarterback with arms outstretched, creating space for the quarterback to slide the football directly into the running back’s chest. Once the quarterback has placed the ball in the pocket, or the opening, the running back immediately clamps down on the ball by protecting and holding it. When the running back comes out of the handoff, he must stay low to react quickly and again to protect the ball.
