  3. Open the gate / close the gate walk.

Flag Pulling·10 min·6+

Flag Pull Gauntlet

Goal: Breaking down and pulling clean

Set up: 10-yard lane with cones. Runner at one end, three pullers spaced out.

  1. Runner jogs the lane at 70% — no stiff arms.
  2. Puller breaks down, chops feet, pulls the near flag.
  3. Runner continues to the next puller.
  4. Rotate every rep so everyone runs and pulls.

Coach tip: Eyes on the belt, not the eyes. Breakdown beats speed.

Routes·12 min·QB + receivers

Route Tree Basics

Set up: Cone at the line, cone at 5 yards.

  1. Slant: 3 steps, plant, cut in flat.
  2. Out: 5 steps, sink hips, break to the sideline.
  3. Go: stem straight, no drifting, hands late.

Coach tip: Same stem every time — the break is the surprise, not the run.
