Quick Square on Air

Prescription
6 × breaks / side · 45 s restabout 10 min
Players
2 minimum
Equipment
Football, Cones (recommended)

The same square break, but the ball comes out on your plant step: you catch it coming out, not once you’re settled. It’s the short-game route on third and short. Twelve reps.

Key points

  • Raise your hands as you break out, not before.
  • The passer releases on the plant: any later, the drill no longer trains timing.
  • Six per direction.

Common mistakes

  • Stopping to catch, which sets you up for the tackle.
  • Turning your head before the break is finished.
