Conditioning Drills
Conditioning in football is important as it can help us to react quickly on the field by moving in a variety of directions. The conditioning drills will help players quickly change directions on the field. Firstly the players must be placed in a small four square box. Then the player will proceed to jump from one area or box to another, thus forcing the player to jump frontwards, backwards, laterally and diagonally. Other trick is that we can made changes can which is the player will only use one foot and then use the other foot while they run the drill.
Line of Scrimmage Drills
Strategic advantage over your opponents is important of whether you are on offense or defense play. One of a great technique that will give you an advantage on the line is double team blocking. The strategy can be described as putting a hole in the line of scrimmage as two easily overpowers one. The strategy can be done by: Firstly, players need to step together, and second locking hips. Next, the players must form a wall, an impenetrable block that the opposing teams' linemen can't break. Concentrate on this wall so that the opponent cannot duck around or go through the double team. Most importantly, this manoeuvre (steps) needs to be happen quickly and efficiently.
Good Hand-off Skill Drills
Learning the basics in a hand-off is important to a strong offense. Running backs should constantly practice the hand off as they are the essential part of the defense. One of the great hands off drill is: Firstly the team must have two separate lines of players facing each other which are line A and line B. One player leaves line A with the football and runs towards line B. In sync with that first player, a second player leaves line B, when they meet player A passes to player B. Now player B has the ball and will hand off the ball to the next person in Line A who will hand off to the next player in Line B. The motion should be constantly moving from one line to another in this drill, almost like a juggling pattern. This drill should be practised every day to ensure that the running backs are effective on their hand offs.
