Two-Line Passing Warm-Up

Description

This simple warm-up packs in 30-40 catches per player before the real work starts. It gives coaches an early look at throwing mechanics and hand-eye coordination while getting both QBs and receivers into a throwing rhythm.

Instructions

1. Players pair up and stand facing each other.
2. Start 5-10 yards apart based on player age and ability.
3. On the coach's signal, begin throwing and catching.
4. After 2-3 minutes, have one side step back 3-5 yards.
5. Continue. Repeat the step-back one more time.
6. Finish back at starting distance.

Points to Stress

• Keep the football tight — laces away from palm.
• Step into every throw — don't arm it.
• Follow through toward your target.
• Eyes on the ball all the way into your hands.
