A linebacker football practice drill.

Objective - Develop foot agility and the ability to read the flow of the ball.

Action - Align 2-3 dummies about a yard apart and at a 45°. Then align 2-3 more dummies the same way so you create a "V" shape. The coach stands between the bags while the linebackers are positioned in a single-file line at the point of the "V". On the coach's 1st signal, the first player gets in good hitting position. On the 2nd signal, the coach points either right or left and the player hits the 2-3 dummies in that direction. After the last dummy, the linebacker should get back into hitting position again to finish the football linebacker drill.

Coaching Details - Keep your linebackers low in proper hitting position with shoulders square, head up. Be sure they shuffle their feet without crossing over.
