Maintain Contact

A football running back blocking drill.

Objective - Teach backs to hold their blocks once contact is made.

Action - Form two single file lines facing one another (one offense, one defense). On the coach's signal, the offensive player blocks the defender using the fit position form. The coach signals the defender to move left or right, forcing the running back to hold his block during the movement. The back must stay locked on the defender until the coach signals the end of the running back drill.

Coaching Details - Emphasize the proper fit position and to keep the running back's feet moving with the defender.
