What are the routes for a reciever?

Answer 1

There can be any # of diffrent routes and names.
We will keep it basic each level you go up in football there becomes more names or varriations on the same ones below.

#1 - Quick Out. Drive out 5 yards then 90 degrees and drift to sidelines.

#3 - Deep Out. Drive out 10 yards then 90 degrees and drift to sidelines.

#5 - Flag Route. Drive out 8 yards, show hand fake and look back at QB, then sprint to deep flag. (out route)

#7 - Shoot Route (Chair Route) Sprint up to 4 or 5 yards then 45 degrees (or 90 degrees) for 2 strides then straight up the field. DO NOT drift to the middle of the field!

#9 - Streak Route (Fly Route) Can be a straight sprint "go" route off the line of scrimmage or can be incoporated with a one stride 45 degree "chair" after 8-10 yards. See Shoot Route above.

#8 - Post Route. Drive out 8 yards, show hand fake and look back at QB, then sprint to deep post.(in route) Opposite of Flag Route above.

#6 - Curl Route. Drive out 12 yards, slow and gather yourself, curl in towards QB, establish a wide stance and frame yourself. Find an open or void area.

#4 - Drag Route. Drive out 3 strides then drag on a 45 degree (or 90) angle to the opposite tackle.

#2 - Slant Route. Drive out 3 strides then slant 45 degrees. This is a timing route, Expect the ball immediatley!

#0 - Quick Hitch Route. Drive out two strides then come back to QB on a 45, establish a wide stance and frame yourself.

Hope it helps The passing tree in the link below is similar to the one I teach at the high school level.

Answer 2

Here are the basic sets, anything else is simply a derivation of these.

Slant - the receiver runs up the field at approximately a 45 degree angle, heading to the gap between the linebackers and the linemen

Curl - the receiver looks to be running a Fly pattern but after a set amount of steps or yards will quickly stop and turn around, looking for a pass

Hitch - the receiver will act like he is running a pattern down field, taking possibly one or two steps forward before quickly stopping and looking for a quick pass before the defender has a chance to react and try to deflect the pass. This route can also be used in what is called a screen, where while the receiver is receiving the pass, one or more lineman, tight ends, or running backs will run in the direction of the receiver in order to block the initial pursuing defenders so that the receiver has time and space to be able to run after the catch.

Fly or streak - the receiver runs straight upfield towards the endzone. The goal of the pattern is to outrun any defensive backs and get behind them, catching an undefended pass while running untouched for a touchdown.

Answer 3

My favorite receiver route is the "fade"

WR's: Receivers should be at 3/4 speed and then break full speed on the ball. Watch the ball all the way to the hands. Should catch the ball without breaking stride.

The use of speed to break away from the defender, is a must.

Answer 4

Many... I think Michael Irvin has a video, you can problably dig it up on the internet and pay a few bucks for it. I forgot the name but he's got some really great routes. Also Jerry Rice has a video too. Don't do too many fades, you'll get popped.

Send me a thank you note if you find it.

Answer 5

There are many routes...in HS football I had a number of routes but the names could be different for different teams...I ran post, button hook, flag, in, out, chair, stop and go, go...etc any type of route in particular you are looking for?
