Team Handoff Exchange

Description

Fumbles on handoffs are often the result of poor technique rather than bad luck. This high-rep drill builds the habits that make every exchange clean — proper grip, belly target, and immediate tuck.

Instructions

1. Divide players into two lines, facing each other 20 yards apart.
2. First player in line A runs toward line B with the ball.
3. First player in line B runs toward them.
4. Players meet in the middle and exchange the handoff.
5. The receiver continues to the opposite line and the drill continues.

Points to Stress

• Carry the ball with proper grip — don't swing it loose.
• Handoff: ball into the belly, not a sideways toss.
• Receiver: create a target and seal the ball before you run.
• Eyes forward after the exchange — keep running.
