Line Backer Football Drills – 4 on 4 Drill

About twice a week we use these line backer football drills. This is a great drill to see blocking, DL and LB techniques, and tackling.   We call it the 4 on 4 drill.

4 on 4 Drill
We have three blockers and one ball carrier on offense and three defensive linemen and one linebacker on defense.

The field is about 10 yards wide and 15 yards long marked off with cones.

The offense has 4 plays to get a touchdown.

We have a coach who stands behind the defense and signals what hole the back is to run through.

After each play, the ball is marked by a coach and the offense line up on the new line of scrimmage.

On each play, a new ball carrier has to run so that all players get a chance to run.

To make this really competitive, have the kids pick teams and have the “winners” stay on the field and the “losers” take a short run.

If the defense wins, they go to offense against a new team and if the offense wins, they go to defense against a new team.   Great drill!!
