QB Toss

A flag football drill for tossing to the running back.

Purpose: To develop proper tosses or pitches.

Organization: Set out a 20 x 20-yard area. Divide teams into even groups and place players opposite each other across the line about 5 yards apart. Players on Team A are the quarterbacks. The players on the B team are running backs. They will switch positions after each turn. Footballs for each pair are recommended and the entire class can participate if space permits.

Drill Outline:

* The QBs will have their backs to the RBs.
* The first several practices, the instructor will call the cadence, "SET GO." The instructor will then choose a QB to call out the cadence.
* Each QB holds the football in front of them with their knees bent and their feet apart.
* On the QB's "SET GO" the RB moves to the right to take the pitch from the QB at a distance of 3-5 yards.
* The first time through the drill, have players move in slow motion to get the feel of the drill.
* Switch positions; the QBs are now RBs and vice versa.
* The players now run half speed through the drill to the left.
* The players switch positions again and run through the drill at full speed.

Coaching Points:

* The QB will look at the stomach area of the RB when making the pitch it to that area.
