DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY COMBATIVE DRILLS THAT I CAN USE FOR CAMP? WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND FUN YET COMPETITIVE.
I HAVE ONE WHERE THEY ARE IN A CIRCLE EACH WITH DUMMIES AND HAVE TO KNOCK THE OTHER OUT
THE OTHER ONE IS WHERE THEY HAVE A BATON FROM TRACK. THEY GRIP IT WITH ALTERNATING HANDS AND HAVE TO RIP IT OUT OF THE OTHERS
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHERS THAT ARE GOOD AND IF SO COULD YOU HOOK ME UP AND EXPLAIN HOW TO DO THEM
THANKS!!!!!!!!

no offense or anything, but what does these kind of drills do to help a kid become a better football player?

Not necessarily better football players but it fosters competition and mental toughness.

amen coach j...
-gladiator style power ball
-we use a towel instead of a baton... "who wants the bone"
-we use a line instead of circle must keep "unit" over line drive one another back
-shield basketball... kid must score into a trash cam while being pummeled with shields
-capture the flag with shields... each teams flag is guarded by shield holders while runners try to get it...
we split our team into 5-6 groups and do ALL of the above while keeping score during camp (see post on camp schedule) winners at the end of our 6 day camp receives a shirt...

Hugh Wyatt gave me a few great ideas, one was a tug of war with a towell "towell tug" for kids, where the idea is to pull an opponent out of a circle painted on the ground. He also had kids racing pulling a tire by a rope, it was attached to an innertube that was around their waists, they had to drag it down and back.
On hot days we used to teach our toss with water balloons, one year we sprayed them with a hose while we ran practice to get them used to inclemment weather, and keep them cool...they loved it

kylem - ever heard of toughness? My original response was not to offend gschwender. Maybe these drills are good for off season workouts but theres no way I would take 10 minutes out of practice so my kids can wrestle towels away from each other. I would rather do actual football drills but hey different strokes for different folks, all the power to ya bud |

Coach K I would never take time out of a regular season practice... all that I'm posting we do during the summer or spring ball...

we call it steal the flag. set up a trash upside down and put a flag or towel on top of it. we have two offense players block one defensive player. the defensive player must get to the flag the two offensive player should protect the flag. It works pass pro pass rush TOUGHNESS CONDITIONING and many of things. the kids love it.

One of my favorites is 10 yard fight....
set up a grid like this with cones ever ten yards
...............BC
...........BL......BL

NOT SURE IF THIS IS GOING TO SHOW UP RIGHT BUT EACH DEFENDER OWNS A TEN YARD BLOCK. HE STARTS IN THE BACK OF HIS BLOCK AND WHEN THE BLOCKER OR BALL CARRIER ENTERS HIS BLOCK HE CAN ATTACK. WE USE TWO BLOCKERS AND A BALL CARRIER TO TRY AND GET THE BC INTO THE ENDZONE SOME 40-50 YARDS AWAY. A DEFENDER CANNOT LEAVE HIS BLOCK, ONCE THE BALL IS OUT, HES DONE.
ULTIMATELY YOU ARE GOING TO COACH THE DEFENDERS TO TRY AND BLOW UP THE DOUBLE TEAM AND STRIP THE BC OF HIS BLOCKING, THE GUYS THAT TRY TO DANCE AROUND BLOCKS GET PANCAKED ALOT. YOU FIND SOME GOOD RUNNERS IN THIS DRILL TOO

We do what we call 7 minutes in hell..
We group everyone up in pairs of 2..
We then let them take turns in our storage shed with no lights and we tape their hands together.. the person who comes out with the tape is the winnr.. the person with any blood is the loser tape or not.
But in the end.. after a great drill like this.. they are all winners.
Im kidding!!!

i agree that many teams choose to focus on football drills, but for one this is during camp for only 10 minutes and for another over the past five years mental toughness, competitiveness and just a general meanness has greatly been lacking in our program. our camp is planned for the last 2 weeks in july and the combative drills will be for 10 minutes on each friday.

During Pass League I asked the Head Coach to ask the arriving school to bring their lineman and we have Lineman Games. Lineman games are a combination of some Strongman Events and Football Drills. The respective lineman like the competetion and they can run multiple cycles through the course. It gives the lineman a break from going against each other and they really seem to get in to it.

We have a 40 yd sand pit next to our practice field...after a discouraging weekend in which we had some players out and out quit during a team competition, we felt like we had to shake things up.....after Lifting & Running on Monday we took the team to the sand pit, drew circles and partnered kids up (similar size, age,etc.) Basically, they started out facing each other on their hands and knees and when we blew the whistle they tried to throw the other one out of the circle....no punching but basically the kids had 3 one minute rounds of wrestling...we blew the whistle to stop it when we were satisfied that both men had tried (if one kid was whipping the other, we wouldn't blow the whistle until the kid on bottom fought back)...very intense and learned some things about certain kids

We followed up today by making the same kids who fought on Mon carry each other on piggyback across the field..."Sometimes you will have to carry your teammates, sometimes they will have to carry you."
