Youth Football Running Back Drills
Youth football rushing drills used to consist of practicing handoffs, holding on to the ball while being hit, and blocking for the quarterback. In today's game, a running back needs those rushing skills in addition to "reading" the defense for blitzing linebackers and catching the football out of the backfield. In many cases, the running back acts as an option for the quarterback if no other play is available. To play the position effectively, the running back must be quick on his feet, drive forward with power, and be able to react reflexively in an instant.
Below are some youth football rushing drills, but you can find more free football drills online at websites like Weplay.com.
Youth Football Running Back Drills
Weave Drill
The Weave drill teaches aspiring running backs proper footwork techniques. It focuses on balance while planting the foot and driving in another direction.
- Place 5 cones in a straight line on the field about one yard apart.
- Have the running backs line up near the first cone.
- To begin, the coach hands the football off to the first running back.
- The running back weaves in and out between the cones and returns handing the football off to the next running back.
When performing this running back drill, the focus should be on planting the outside foot firmly and then driving in the opposite direction. The proper planting of the foot will help prevent slippage when game time rolls around. The running backs should also focus on proper ball protection technique and maintain a low center of gravity.
"Running the Gauntlet"
This running back drill teaches players to receive a handoff, tuck it in, and break through immediate contact while retaining possession.
- Position two dummy bags approximately 3 yards from the starting position.
- Position two dummy bag holders 3 to 4 yards further downfield.
- Have a linebacker roaming the field to force open field maneuvers.
- After taking a handoff, the running back protects the football while running through the two dummy bags.
- He must maintain control while being pursued by the dummy holders.
- And finally, perform an evasive maneuver to avoid the linebacker.
- Have each running back practice handoffs from both the right and left sides.
When performing youth football rushing drills such as these, the player should practice keeping a low center of gravity with knees up and shoulders down. Proper ball protection techniques must be employed in order to retain possession of the ball.
