QB Fundamentals and Daily Drills GOAL is to improve game day performance performance with with daily drill What we emphasize with our QBs Do not make major changes in delivery, delivery, by the time they t hey get to college this is hard to correct. corr ect. • Maintain proper grip and index finger placement • What you CAN change 1. GRIP: the index finger is the last contact contact to ball ball Upper Body 1. Hands Hands are offset offset on the ball ball 2. Keep ball as far back as possible possible 3. Keep the back elbow away from the body. body. This helps prevent prevent the ball from dropping Lower Body 1. You You are 2 inches i nches lower when ball is trigger (bend in the knees) 2. No weight on the front foot *Use Special Teams Teams time for bonus QB indy time *During all drills stress the need to spin the ball to start a drill, not flip. This avoid turnovers and slow timing

QB Daily Drills 1. SPIN BALL DRILL The key is to make sure the QB is not looking l ooking at the ball 2. Warmup from 1 knee Emphasize Fast Trigger then Easy Throw 3. Trigger (no steps) Emphasize to only Rotate and Throw 4. Trigger (with crossover and plant steps) Add 2 steps to Trigger drill 5. “HANG then BANG” Lift front foot up then go through throwing motion. This check for weight on back foot and helps eliminate backward motion.

6. Trigger Trigger (plus (plus steps #3 and #4) Emphasize driving knee into the ground 7. Pocket Presence QB has a short drops with small bumps or hits hit s a with a bag 8. Movement Wave Drill with QUICKER feet and shorter shor ter movement This is more realistic realist ic than the LONG WAVE drill 9. Throw on the run: QB runs on a straight line, not boot motion Running to the right: Emphasize right hip through the throw Finish must have belt and hip hi p FLAT FLAT to the target
