Description

Accuracy is the most important skill a QB can develop. This target drill gives QBs immediate, objective feedback on every throw — making it easy to self-correct and compete with teammates.

How to run it

  1. 1

    Set up a target (hula hoop between two cones, or a circle of cones) at 10 yards.

  2. 2

    QBs take turns throwing at the target.

  3. 3

    Move target to 15 yards, then 20 yards.

  4. 4

    Make it a competition: most targets hit in 5 throws wins.

Points to stress

  • Aim small, miss small — pick a specific spot in the target.
  • Spiral = accuracy. Focus on your release point.
  • Follow through — point your fingers at the target after the throw.
  • Adjust arc for distance — don't just throw harder.
