During you're indy session, how many different drills do you run (during the season)? How many drills do you run that work on similar skills?
I know coaches who have 4 ball security drills they'll use. I know coaches who have one. We have coaches who do the same 4-5 drills every practice, we have coaches who never repeat drills.
Do you feel it's better to have 1 or 2 tackling drill you really believe in, or 5 that all teach tackling slightly different? 1 or 2 catching drills, or 6 different ones?

No set prescription
You must repeat drills to increase skill ability. Not sure why some coaches never use the same drill.
That's a lot of time spent teaching drill set up / emphasis / rotations, etc.
I tend to drill the essential aspects needed at the positions that I coach and I focus on areas that we must get better at. We also do a base of EDD's (or every day drills) that are utlized everyday in the spring/summer/and pre-season. When the season begins we do our EDD's every Mon, Tue, Wed and Game nights for our warm ups.
We normally get 10-20 min for indy. More early season and less later in the season. I tend to use 3-4 drills and what could be 4 reps each in the early season cuts down to 2 reps by mid season.
Hope this makes sense.

I never use the same drill twice AND I use the same drills every week...
What I mean is that we work for example in defensive indy on the same skills every single week. We work hands, tackling, block reads, pursuing to the ball, avoiding over penetrating, screen awareness, taking on the trap, sticking to our option responsibilities, etc etc.
That said we rarely do things exactly the same. I often combine skills into one drill. Also what day of the week it is effects how heavy our contact is. On monday we're still probably hurting from our games on Friday / Saturday so we're probably going to avoid the very heavy collision drills same with Thursday & Pregame drills during pregame indy on Friday & Sat...
I might tackle tackle the tackling sled for ten minutes on Monday.
On Tuesday or Wednesday I might do Oklahoma.
On Thursday I might low contact block read (offense lets them rip through post-read) and have them form tackle a stand up bag.

we don't do a lot of different drills - rather rep the heck out of the fundamentals instead of learning new drills.
now we may do something different as a change of pace - but we again we want to rep the good things as much as we can.

1) I try to use drills that are as close to game situations and alignments as possible. If the movement of the drill is not at all like anything we use on a play in our offense - then I don't do the drill. 2) More often than not I will use a "reverse progression" of the drill in the initial introductions. If the drill has two or three elements to it ... FSG gaps down, Center fill backside, BSG pulls and traps the tackle ... (quicktrap!) .... we will start with the block of the FSG. We will drill it versus air, dummies, rehearsal live (with the 3 tech DT going into the B gap and the Mike LB stepping away, then rehearsing with the 3 tech DT looping into A, etc.). This is JUST with the front side guard. Once the FSG's are confident that they know what might happen to the 3 tech DT and MIKE LB (or nose and 50 LB's), we will TEST him versus live reps. NEXT - the center's down/fill block backside. ETC. 3) Once all the elements are in place, once we know that each player knows and is capable of blocking each segment, we put it together in one drill. Now this might take the first 12 days of summer mini-camps, camps at colleges and specialty camps, and then the first 10 days of two-a-days. But that is how we approach drills and our teaching progression. We use purposeful drills to teach the elements of each play. And sometimes it works GREAT ... and other times - I swear I should have just played twenty minutes of bull in the ring for all it matters! But that's high school coaching eh?!?

Coaching QBs
Do the same 5-6 every day drills that I do, well, every day (footwork and throwing mechanics). Usually get through the 5-6 drills in no more than 10 mins (5-10 reps each drill).
Do 1-2 drills each day from a roster of about 6-8 drills so I do each at least once per week. (Throwing on run, avoiding rush, windows, etc). Takes about another 5 mins (5-10 reps each drill).
Do 1-2 drills each day devised and aimed at correcting a particular problem that has been identified. (Ex. steps on a particular run action, play action fake, etc.)

I have a list of drills that I call "must do's" that I will make sure is done at least twice per week.
Then I have a list of drills that address a specific area of weakness that may need to be addressed.
Included in this list are drills that will prepare my players that week for the scheme that they will be playing. I coach DL so we may need to work more zone steer drill when playing a zone team or work spill tech when playing a pwr / ctr team.
