Description

This is one of the best all-purpose drills in flag football. It gets five players into a game situation at once, practicing snap, handoff, running, pursuit, and flag-pulling simultaneously.

How to run it

  1. 1

    Offense: Center, QB, RB. Defense: Lineman and Linebacker.

  2. 2

    Set two cone gates 5 yards downfield — left and right of center.

  3. 3

    QB calls signals and takes the snap from center.

  4. 4

    QB hands off to RB.

  5. 5

    RB reads the defense and tries to get through a gate.

  6. 6

    Defense pursues and attempts to pull the flag.

Points to stress

  • QB: clean snap and clean handoff — no fumbles.
  • RB: pick your lane BEFORE the snap.
  • Defense: communicate — assign a lane to each defender, don't both go to the same one.
  • Rotate positions after every rep.
