Football drill?

Question

What are some drill you can do one your own to increase your football-related skills ?

Answer 1

Run and excersise.

Answer 2

How much money are you willing to spend on equipment? And more importantly, what kind of skills are you looking to improve - running, throwing, catching, blocking, etc? You cant be good at everything.....

By yourself, the most important thing you can probably do is increase your athleticism. Running, swimming, working out....anything that increases endurance, speed, and strength will benefit you on the field.

For specific football skills....well, its a team game, and you'd benefit a lot more from practice with a squad. You cant really do much line skills practice on your own unless you have tackling sleds or something. Catching skills are obviously out as well unless you have a ball machine. Throwing, you'd probably improve the best just by throwing the ball as much as you can, work on your mechanics. Pick any target and just try to hit it over and over. A moving target like a swinging tire on a rope is even better to learn how to lead.

Try filming yourself (if you have a digicam or a cell phone that can do movies that should be fine) while you're practicing, so you can look at it later with your coach and get some pointers on footwork and technique you could improve on.

Answer 3

Throw the ball through a suspended automobile tire.

Lay tires (2) side by side to form a column and run the column by stepping into the tire holes.

Throw the ball into the air and run to catch it.

If you have access to a goal post, buy a kicking tee or makesift some support to keep the ball upright for kicking.

We did a lot of calisthenics in football practice.
