Bag Drills
Drill Sequence
1. Every foot.
2. 2 in each.
3. Shuffle with eye contact and catch the ball.
4. Side to side through the bags. (scoop up a fumble)
5. Pass/Run front and back through the bags.
6. Downhill through the bags.
In every drill or station we work at, every ball is live until you hear a whistle.
A dropped ball becomes a fumble and we scoop and score. In pass skelly we
return all incomplete passes to the offense and if they catch it we go after it.
We carry this philosophy to every drill whether it be pursuit drill, inside, team,
scout, special teams, etc. It has made a huge difference in our turnover
count. We forced 20 fumbles and came up with 11 of them. We had 10
picks.
Circuits
1. Tackle Circuit - DL group/LB group/DB group
1. DL coach - Angle tackle out of bounds.
2. LB coach - 1/2 speed head on tackle. Focus on clubs, head up,
and most importantly driving your feet.
3. DB coach - open field tackle. Quick whistle to stay on feet,
practice working a move, head must get across to win.
4. Tackle the dummy through the blaster
5. Tackling Bertha
