Behind our gym we spraypainted ladders on the pavement. We can get a hell alot more reps in during our advanced P.E. and they never get tangled up.....
I 2nd that. Nothing I hate more than having Joe No Feet kick my ladder and slow everything down.

I made kicking tees out of PVC pipe and duct tape. Worked great. Given the fact that I can't hang a picture straight on a wall, I considered myself pretty accomplished after that.

I use one of the zapper dog collars on my Db's when they don't come up and support the run. saves my voice from yelling at them across the field across the field during games. I used to use a stick but the parents complained.

JG, too funny. I actually do this, since we are out here in the country nobody really says much about it. Talking about making things. I made a defensive linemen snapper out of a paint roller with the cover removed. I took a flat football and attached it to a paint roller that I had laying around. I attached the long wooden handle and it was just the right height to practice the snap for the D-line. To be cute, I taped it on with white duct tape across the lines on the football. (to make it look a little more professional)

I agree Trash cans are good for Oline and Dline. If you dont have big dummies they can be used for routes on air. You can also use them with the QB working on throwing the fade to the corner of the endzone. This is a great post. Keep them coming, the school i'm at now has everything you can ever want but last year the school I was at had nothing.

We have used the ball-on-the-stick but also use tires and netting for our snappers.

Have Made 2 water horses out of pvc that would have probably cost about 150 a piece if we would have ordered them, but since we made them it cost about 25 a piece. We have also used the ball on a broom stick.

I also made a ball on a stick and we have used it for the past 4 years at every defensive practice. Garbage cans are used for RB drills and Lb drills.

We use tractor tires and attach a rope to form a harness for players to use during conditioning drills.

cut very old car tires in half length wise -creates two thin tires that lay flat for footwork drills.

took an old rubber football and filled it about a quarter of the way with water. teaches proper grip on the ball for rb's because it always feels like someone is tugging at the ball from a different angle.

Made OLINE straps to keep hands together using tire tubes. Had to cut them and then tape them but have been a great investment. We've done that with large rubber bands. They're nor sturdy but they're cheap. We're not holding them for ransom, just reminding them to keep their hands together.

More for agility training, but we made running ropes from 1" sch.40 pvc. Cut 4 inch sections of inner tubes to make elastic loops to connect the cheap nylon rope to the pipe. 15 feet long, 10 inches high.. We have about $40 in it.

Chutes.
Really expensive to buy. But PVC works just as well,

Slosh pipes:
4 inch PVC, six feet long, cap one end, fill about half way with water, then cap the other end. let the cement dry, and you have a slosh pipe.
We bench press it, squat it, hold above head and do lunges, walk a straight line, etc. You can get creative. The water sloshing back and forth in there really helps with balance. It's a killer workout.

I "creatively acquired" 8 highway marking barrels instead of trashcans.
We use "gates" made from 1 1/2" PVC to train our backs and receivers.
Instead of firehouse for scrimmage strips, which is heavy, use 3" flat plastic drainage hose. Much lighter and does get waterlogged. I get mine via eBay. Paint as needed.
55 gallon plastic drums filled part way up with water are useful to have your linemen stay low by having to push them around. (Better if you teach hand blocking!)
I made a "water horse" -a watering station made with a sawhorse, some 3/4" PVC pipe and a ball valve. This hooks to a standard hose bib. 6 kids can drink at a time.
I have connected LBs together with lengths of surgical tubing to get them used to moving in unison. Also good for resistance training.
I will caution those that make their own chutes, to be very careful about using metal pipes and anything that could cause injury. You don't carry the insurance that a company like Roger (for example) does in case of a liability lawsuit should one of the kids gets injured. That tire blaster mentioned above would fall under the same category. Home made stuff can be a problem!
If you use boards to train your linemen, be sure to round the edges over with a router bit, and sand them up a bit.
Gotta think safety like a lawyer would!

Did not use the surgical tubing.. but years ago we used this stuff.. Well it snapped one day.. and sliced the kids arm pretty good.. luckily only one of the 3 strands we were using broke.. and it broke kind of near the one being pulled and recoiled towards the puller and hit him.. would have been nasty for the other guy to take that to the face.. eye.. etc..
