Freeze Drill

By: Steve Tucker

For this pee wee football drill, have the players pair off. One player will be the quarterback for the drill, and the other player will be the receiver. Position the players across from each other, about ten yards apart. The quarterbacks will each start with the ball, and the drill starts at the coach's command.
Throughout the drill, the players must immediately respond to the coach's instructions and then freeze. Coaches should observe to make sure players are using good technique throughout the drill, especially when the players are frozen.

Here are the commands the coaches should instruct the players to follow:
• "Ready!" - The quarterback assumes his throwing position.
• "Go!" - The quarterback throws the ball to the receiver.
• "Catch!" - The receiver catches the ball and then freezes.
• "Tuck!" - The receiver moves into the tuck position, with the ball secure, his head down, and his eyes on the ball.
• "Toss back!" - The receiver throws the ball back to the quarterback.
• "Catch!" - The quarterback receives the ball.

This drill should be completed three times, with players altering the height of the passes.
