17 · Zipper
Two kids zip across the middle. Somebody is open. First look: Purple, then Orange.
Who does what
- QB
Hike it to yourself, take three steps back. Watch the crossers. Throw to Purple coming right, or Orange coming left.
- YYellow
Run straight deep. Take your defender with you.
- BBlue
Run straight deep. Take your defender with you.
- OOrange
Four steps, then run across to the left, a little deeper than Purple.
- PPurple
Two steps, then run across to the right, low. Pass close to Orange.
Coach card
What to say
- Purple goes under, Orange goes over. Never the same depth.
- Run past each other close, like a zipper.
- QB: throw to the one whose defender got stuck.
Watch for
The crossers run at the same depth and bump into each other.
If it breaks down, say
Purple low, Orange high!
Drill · 5 minutes · Zipper lines
Two lines on either side. On go, both cross at two depths, pass close, then catch a toss. Swap depths every rep.
