Receivers: Ball Safety Drill
When a catcher catches the ball, he must immediately place it in a safe ball-carrying position. The points of a proper reception are: First, open your hands with an open triangle. Second, keep your eyes on the ball throughout the entire catch. Third, lock the ball tight and high against your ribs, forearm, and biceps. The problem is that receivers are required to start facing the field before they have the ball properly secured. This mistake leads to incompletions or worse, a fumble. To avoid this, have two receivers throw to each other and when caught, ask them to slow down the movement so that they stop on each catch, follow and dunk.
Strength and Conditioning: Up Downs
Of all the football conditioning drills, the down is one of the most popular. This drill consists of making the players run in place as fast and as hard as they can. At the signal from the coaches, players will drop to the ground and do a push, then quickly get up and start running again. Because this drill can be very strenuous, it is important to slowly increase the time spent on this as the player’s strength increases.
Powerful blocking strategy: double team
Soccer is all about strategy and finishing, or making soft spots on your opponent. A great technique that will give you an advantage down the lane is the double team block. This play is simple, double and go. If you ever need to run again or pull off a big blitz, remember this technique. To execute this correctly, have both linemen walk together at the same time and bring their hips together. This forms an impenetrable line down the middle and since each lineman is on the opponent’s edge, it will be very difficult to get around him. Strike the shoulders hard and hold your opponent as he pushes you back. work fast and work hard
Basics of soccer transfers
Whether you’re a quarterback, a running back, or a player who is going to be traded anytime soon, you need to realize the basics of a great trade. Let’s look at a simple transfer between a quarterback and a running back to outline the fundamentals of this skill. The running back initiates the hand by running towards the quarterback with open arms, creating space for the quarterback to slide the football directly into the running back’s chest. Once the quarterback has placed the ball in the pocket, or opening, the running back immediately clamps down on the ball by shielding and holding it. As the running back comes off the handoff, he must stay low to react quickly and again to protect the ball.
