This is a good way to begin flag football practice. After a short stretching period, this drill gets players loose and warmed up, while also helping them practice their agility and footwork.
Purpose: Improve balance, footwork, and change of direction.
Drill Outline:
Place cones at corners of 15-yard square. Line up players at one corner of square. Players then:
1. sprint to first cone
2. side-step to second cone
3. backpedal to third cone
4. sprint back to beginning of line.
Throw a football to each player as he or she finishes the drill. Repeat drill to other side after everyone has had a turn.
