Drill: Around the World

This drill helps quarterbacks learn proper passing technique, especially in setting their bodies and squaring their shoulders to the target. It also helps Receivers work on catching the ball with their hands and looking the football into their bodies.

Developmental Goal

To properly set up the feet and square their shoulders prior to passing

Teaching Points

• Arrange Receivers in a circle about 10 yards from the quarterback, who is in the center.
• Assign each Receiver a number. As you call out numbers, have each Receiver whose number is called raise their hand.
• Instruct Quarterbacks to turn so that their feet and shoulders are square to each new target – this will help make an accurate pass.
• After each boy and girl in the circle has made one catch, rotate to a new Quarterback.

Progressions

Move Receivers five yards farther from Quarterback after each round of players has had a turn.
