Fun football practice games

This middle school football activity introduces pass rushing for the first time so the QB is under pressure for time to make a pass before their flag is pulled. Scores in this game are for offense and defense to give the D extra incentive to pull that flag. The original game begins with only 1 defender, but you can challenge your students by having groups play 3V3. In Mini-Football , another middle school activity, the object is to score a touchdown in just 4 plays using a combination of football skills.

Skills include punting, flag-pulling, hiking centering , passing and receiving. Defenders is a high school football activity that teaches both zone and player-to-player defenses and allows for plenty of practice of each. Students rotate through each position to ensure everyone learns them all.

This high school football activity teaches multiple passing routes for receivers. In Passing Tree , teams of 5 practice these routes and are allowed just 4 plays each quarter. The goal is to complete as many passes as they can in those 4 plays. Players play soccer to have fun.

Soccer Games and Practices that are FUN and Engaging These FUN youth soccer drills and games are designed for the players to enjoy their time at practice and makes it fun for the players. For example, we may have an offensive lineman try to coffin corner a punt from the 20 even if it just dribbles there.

If he misses, everyone does 25 jumping jacks. If he makes it, the coaches do them. Any suggestions on more fun things we can do? I have known coaches who have a designated a player tell one joke and the end of practice, and it seemed to be something that the team looked forward to following each practice. I do like your idea of pitting the players versus the coaches, as long as the coaches can do what is asked of them.

Over the years, I have used drills that are directly related to the game. On offense, it was moving the ball, 20 yards at a time, up and down the field without an error or poor effort. If there was an error or poor effort, the team had to go back and start over. In your scheme, if they made it up and back, there could be a penalty for the coaches.

Starting on the yard line, with the defense going in, the team had to take their correct drops, a defensive player had to make the interception, then the entire defensive team had to run across the goal line. Poor drops, a missed catch or poor effort caused the team to line up and go again. Again, if the team is successful, the coaches could pay a penalty.

One end-of-practice drill that our defense had fun with was our end of the week fumble recovery drill. The defensive players line up across the yard line. The coach, with some footballs, lines up on the goal line.
