Equipment Needed
- Football(s)
- Cones to mark routes and hash
Setup
- Use a shortened field and align 7 offensive and 7 defensive players in standard positions.
- Work through route combinations at three depth levels: short, intermediate, and deep.
Instructions
- Start with route concept walkthroughs at half speed, emphasizing timing and leverage.
- Progress to live 7v7 reps focusing on clean drops, accurate throws, and receiver separation.
- Rotate quarterbacks and receivers after a set number of plays so everyone gets reps at each role.
Coaching Points
- Quarterback: work on drop depths and throwing on rhythm, not just when the receiver is open.
- Receivers: run precise breaks and secure the ball through contact.
- Defense: focus on coverage leverage and preventing easy separation rather than aggressive hits.
