Strip Receiver Drill

A football tackling and strip the ball drill.

Objective - Teach defenders, especially linebackers & defensive backs to strip receivers of the football as soon as the catch is made.

Action - Align your defenders into two groups about 5-7 yards apart on the sideline. One group is the receiver group and the other will be the defenders. Put the defenders about a yard or two out from the sideline. The coach, positioned at the numbers and about 10-12 yards from the receiver group, throws a pass to the first receiver who has run a pattern across the field. The defender breaks on the receiver and attempts to strip the football as soon as the receiver makes the catch.

Coaching Details - Give both groups a chance to be the defender group and run the football tackling drill from both directions. Pass the ball out in front of the receiver and teach your defenders to break for the interception point and strip the football by bringing the outside arm down on the receiver's upfield arm.
