DW YOUTH PASSING PACKAGECreate a plan to implement a BASIC PASSING GAME bit-by-bit:
• Kids of all ages can throw the football;
• Pick the right kid and coach-up his skills;
• Start on Day #1 and reserve some practice time for your passing;
• Same with receivers - identify who can catch and then develop these players as receivers;
• QB drills - handling the ball - footwork drills - passing;
• Receiver work - catching balls - running routes;
• allot just a few minutes each day, maybe at the end of practice, to work passing game;
• Encourage QBs & receivers to work on their own, too.

SITTING RECEIVER DRILL
R R
8 - 10 YARDS
1. Receivers sit facing in pairs about 8-10 yards apart. Toss soft passes to each other at about chin level. Sitting makes them use their hands more. 2. After about 5-10 passes each, each receiver rotates 90 degrees clockwise and repeats passes. 3. Next each receiver turns 180 degrees clockwise and repeats. 4. Last, the receivers turn backs to each other and one throws soft overhead to the other. Receiver turns and returns the overhead. 5. Have them work proper hand position fundamentals on each reception, catching with hands arms extended, putting ball away before making the return pass.

B BACK'S ARC PATH TO DE
E
• FB Takes an "arc" (rounded) path to block the DE; • FB wants to gain width on the DE and hit him square; • FB wants to prevent DE crossing his face to get to QB; • One solid contact is usually enough to allow QB to run his sprint path
