Best Football Drills

Setup

Place five cones in a diagonal zigzag formation, with each set of cones five yards away from each other.

Place a tackle dummy in the final position at the end of the zigzag.

Purpose

Defensive players merge their agility work with the goal of a proper form tackle to finish off the drill.

Drill Description

Players sprint forward to the first cone, and then quickly change direction into a back peddle, as they move backward to the next cone.

Continue the sprint/back peddle rotation until the last cone, where players sprint forward and tackle the tackle dummy.
