Best Football Drills

Setup

Place five cones in a zigzag formation with five yards of space in between each cone.

Position a tackle dummy at the end of the zigzag formation.

Purpose

Defensive players gain agility work while incorporating the technique of a tackle on a tackle dummy at the end of the drill.

Drill Description

Players sprint through the drill by quickly turning and cutting around each of the cones in the drill.

Upon cutting around the last cone, players accelerate into a tackle to finish off the drill.

Remind players to stay in a low and controlled position as they make their way throughout the drill, so that they can make a controlled tackle on the dummy.
