Hold the Ball (RB, WR) – New Youth Football Drills

Holding on to the ball upon contact, and staying on your feet are hallmarks of a good offensive football player.

What you need – You need to have 5 players holding blocking dummies (held in the hands) or they can go without.

How this drill works – This drill is to help your players learn to handle contact, stay on their feet, and maintain control of the ball.

At first, the ball carrier will start out in the middle of the five tackling players. On the coaches’ whistle, the player will run towards one of the defenders, absorb a ‘pop’ hit, then go right across to the other side for another pop hit, then down and across for another, etc.

The drill does not end for the ball carrier until they hit all five players that are standing around them. If they lose the ball, they will start again. If they get knocked down, they must get up and continue on with the last player that knocked them down.

Receiver Crack Block (WR) – Youth Football Drills

Learning to effectively and legally block down from the receiver position is an excellent skill to teach.

What you need – You can start this drill with groups of receivers and a coach or a player with a dummy, acting as a linebacker.

How this drill works – On the snap of the ball, the slot receiver, or the wide receiver will execute a legal seal block on the linebackers. The advantage of this block is that it prevents the linebacker from making a play, but there are disadvantages – your receiver could get blown up by a backer, or they could cause injury to the LB if they don’t execute the block correctly.

The block is ALWAYS above the waist – never should this block be executed below the waist. The lateral movement of the linebacker exposes their knees.

The block is NEVER from behind – if the LB has his back turned, you become an impediment to their movement – not cracking them from behind.

Punch then Backer Engage – Football Linebacker Drills (OL vs DL)

A quick hit, then the offensive lineman goes after the linebacker to open the hole. Reading where to go is important for the lineman.

What you need – Set up a half offensive line and two defensive line positions with a LB.

How this drill works – This drill can work a number of ways – it will assist your lineman in reading the play and deciding which offensive lineman will attack each defensive player.

You can switch up the assignment of the offensive linemen and their blocking responsibilities by changing the direction of the running play, and by changing where the defensive lineman are lined up.

Football Footwork Drills (Offensive Lineman)

Footwork and proper set up is essential for offensive linemen

What you need – You can create two lines of lineman, and a coach has a tackling dummy in one hand. A pylon should be set up no more than three to five yards behind the player.

How this drill works – On the snap of the ball, the coach will move forward with the tackling dummy as though they were a defensive lineman. The lineman needs to focus on three things:

1. Solid base with feet should width apart and knees slightly bent. The foot closest to the Center position should be slightly forward.

2. The bottom should drop dropped, the waist bent slightly forward and the weight of the body centered over the balls of the feet, but overall solid balance.

3. The arms should be up in a prepared position as the player shuffles back – but no more than the 3 to 5 yards of the pylon.
