SET UP
Set up cones indicating two lines that are 10 yards apart. Players will spread out on the first line facing away from the second line. You can stack players for a second line.
MOVEMENT
On the coach’s command, players will backpedal to the second line. Start slow and work up to full speed after a few reps. The goal is to backpedal almost as fast as a receiver runs forward.
KEY FOCUS POINTS
- Players should stay low. Keep hips low with shoulders over feet.
- Arms should pump like they’re running forward.
- Push off the balls of your feet with knees bent. Head up.
