Stance & Start Drill
view description
- Stance & Start Drill
  Make sure players have good bend in the power angles (knees, hips and ankles)
  Their heads must be up and looking downfield.
  NO FALSE STEPS: Be sure that players do not make their first step backward before going forward.
  Players then explode out of their stance and sprint 10 yards.
  Add ball movement so players learn how to move during the game.
  
  Coaching Tip:
  Have the quarterback bark out his cadence to practice their calling. Also, vary the snap count so they are not just going on one each time.
