I would like to do a pursuit drill next year. The kids have never done this. I have only seen it done in college, where the defense had a specific position to fill on offense (LB-OG, NG-C, DT-OT, DE-TE, FS-QB, etc). A D would huddle up on O and call a generic play (dive right, pitch left, spot pass r/l) and then run it. Everyone would fire off only 2 steps, except for the ball carrier who would sprint down field until the whistle, usually at least 20 yards down field. Next play the team playing O is now on D, and a new D steps in to play O.
The team playing D aligns to the O, takes their first steps and then sprints to the ball make a tackle until the whistle blows. No contact is actually made with the ball carrier.
Anyway, is there an easier/better way to do this at a small HS where all players learn 2 positions? Any help is appreciated. Coach Faust
