Drop in the Bucket

Passing & QB Mechanicsbeginner10 min1+ players

Description

Accuracy drills don't have to be boring. This competitive format gives QBs a clear target with immediate feedback and an incentive to dial in their mechanics. Great for isolating release point and touch on the ball.

Instructions

  1. Place a bucket or cone-circle target 10-15 yards from the QB.
  2. Each QB gets 5 throws per round.
  3. Count hits. Most buckets wins.
  4. Increase distance for advanced players.

Points to Stress

  • Release point matters — find a consistent arm slot.
  • Follow through on every throw — the ball goes where your arm points.
  • Compete — pressure in practice builds composure in games.
  • Adjust your arc for distance.
