Competitive Drills Defense Pursuit Drills – Rabbit – Cones – Reverse with 2 nd Rabbit – Swarm (defense drops to cover areas coach throws a pick on fumble scoop and score) Tough Guy Drills – Hurricane – Pick Two Teams – Pick Winning Point Total – Drill. In a circle team A has a runner and two blockers. Team B has a tagger. The tagger must tag the runner while defeating the blockers in a set time. Ex. 12 seconds to get a point. Very Physical Great Tempo setter for Practice Find out quickly who has heart and who can make plays
