Develop Winning Drills

Winning Drills
It never changes. Football is a game of repetition, mental and physical. You may try to articulate it a little different, but it's the same thing: Get better players, make fewer mistakes, and drill the fundamentals into your players' heads. Bob Stoops The secret to winning is constant, consistent management. Tom Landry

Equipment Needs
List anything and everything needed Be as descriptive as possible 3 Footballs and 30 yards of the field from hash to sideline

Individual / Group Drills

Description / Mechanics
Include as much information as possible including positioning of coach and other players involved Start with one QB in a gun (or under center) position. Usually position QB on or near a hash. Other QBs (or WRs) should be lined up in positions where most throws take place. Usual spots include flare, comeback, curl, and dig. The coach and other QBs should stand at least 10 yards from the LOS behind the QB. The coach should then designate each QB (or WR) by a number (usually 1 through 4). At the snap, QB will take a 5 step drop with a hitch. As he is hitting his 5th step, coach will call out one of the numbers he has given the routes. The QB (or WR) with that number should raise his hands. The QB needs to get his feet set to make the throw at the target the number signifies and then make the throw as quickly as possible. The coach can force the QB to move from one receiver to the next by saying No followed by a second number. (i.e. 3 no 1) This forces the QB to move his feet and reset himself like in a game.
