Football

This is it! Here are the 12-Week Off-Season Football Strength and Power Programs! The off-season is the best time of the year for making great improvements. It is the time to develop your strength, power, quickness and conditioning. Those of you who have played football know what needs to be done to get yourself into the kind of shape it takes to be a dominant player. And, if you are new to a football program, just follow the workouts and see great results!

Strength and power are two of the most important physical qualities that a football player can have. These Off-Season Football Programs are specifically designed to improve these qualities. There will be an evolution in these programs from a base strength phase through to a peak power phase. Remember to keep a positive attitude and work hard!

Football Drills That Separate The Best From The Rest

Football Athletes! I got one simple question for you:
Are You Ready? With just a little over 3 months until training camp, the smart student-athletes have been training the right way year-round with sound programs like those provided through US Sports Strength and Conditioning.
While many schools do a great job with off-season strength, conditioning, and skill training, many athletes and their families are left to improvise in their local big box gym or look around the web for all of the 'cookie-cutter' 'one size fits all' programs slapped together with the intent of you buying their equipment or supplement.
Nah baybee not US Sports. We want to see you succeed. If a good strength coach or personal trainer is not feasible or affordable, train with our pros online saving money and time and more importantly training the right way for your sport. Click here to learn more
Here's our boi' Robbie with some additional drills that you can add to your program this summer to be ready to start this fall.
Let's get it!

Football Drills That Separate The Best From The Rest
by Robbie Fredric

If you want to shine on under the Friday night lights, be a superstar on Saturday or maybe even one day make it to the NFL, you have to be willing to put in the work with plenty of football drills. It's important to keep in mind that not every player on a roster does the same thing for a football team, so each person will want to work on drills that are best for them. When a team of players come together, each one working hard on their own practices, then you can have a mighty team that is ready to take on whatever comes their way on the gridiron. Here are some drills that you can practice, to become a better football player.

Ladder Mobility

To be the best on the football field, then you need to have better footwork than your opponents. One of the best ways to get that footwork is to work on ladder mobility drills, which will help you get quicker and lighter on your feet. To set this drill up, you will put a ladder on the ground in front of you. Then you will line up on the side of the ladder at either end. The goal is to then step in and out of each space in the ladder as quickly as you can by going two steps forward, two steps back and then quickly shift to the next area of space. If you get really good at this drill, you can then begin sidestepping all of the spaces, which will help you with lateral movement as well.

Precision Passing

Most players dream of being the quarterback, simply because of the amount of accolades this position gets. However, those that want to be the quarterback need to set themselves apart from other players on the field in a variety of ways. To get better at passing, quarterbacks can do a drill that will work on how precise they are. To do this, setup multiple different targets at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 yards away. The goal is to then hit each of these markers in as many passes as you can. If you want to work with your receivers as well, then you can even bring them in and pass to them at the same distance. And if you want to improve your arm strength even more, consider going deeper than 50 yards once you have hit five targets in a row.

Oklahoma Drill

The name of this drill varies between different regions in the country. Some call it the Oklahoma Drill, while others may call it Bulls In The Ring. Whatever the name, the idea is all the same. To perform this drill you will line up two players in front of one another and a barrier just to each of their sides. When the whistle blows, each player will then have the objective of trying to push their opponent out of the center of the area. This drill is great for defensive players, but it also gets everyone worked up and is great for right before a game. It also helps quieter players come out of their shell, knowing they can go as hard as they want without worrying about hurting someone.

There are a variety of different football drills that you can consider to be a better football player. But with the three mentioned here, you'll become faster, stronger and more precise when you put in the work to be your best.
