QB DRILLS

thanks coach. I wanted to know what everyday drill or warm up drill do you do with your quarterbacks for 3 step pass. Sprint out pass and any other drills you may do to teach techniques to your qb.

One Everyday Drill is called "THIRD HAND". QB stands behind a chair, gets his proper hand placement (NOrth-South-East-West), proper stance, and takes 10 snaps to his third hand. Concentrate on keeping elbows tight to the body. This will reduce the number of bobbled snaps you have. We have a QB progression for our individual run and individual Pass periods that tie into what we do in our offense. For Example, our run period would consist of third hand, then our option footwork drills, then our pitch drills, then our read drills. Our pass period would consist of our drop drills, throwing drills, and our specific footwork. Tailor your drills to your offensive philosophy.

Ray 12, I used to teach the QB to drive step, gather gather, which I got from George Curry in Berwick, PA. He has coached several HS quarterbacks that have gone on Division I schools. Then I met Coach Lansdell of the West Coast Passing School, and he showed me how to teach the 3 step drop based on where you will be throwing the football. I couldn't explain with a keyboard and do it justice, but his drops are very simple. I use his Complete Quarterback in the classroom with the kids every day. It lays out the steps for the drop. It has worked miracles. I used to think you couldn't teach a kid to be a good throwing QB. Coach has my confidence soaring that we can throw the ball. We drill the drop one step at a time to make sure our steps are perfect.

Coach Vint I agree with you about Coach Lansdell's The Complete Passing Game Video, its a good one. Hope you're doing well and hope to visit with you soon. Coach CAmpbell
