A Blocking circuit:
1st Example
One thing we've been doing and tweaking for the last few years is a "blocking circuit." We all do tackling, takeaway, and conditioning circuits, so my coaching staff thought, why not a "blocking circuit." Every Tuesday, for 20 minutes, all three of our high school teams and staffs come together for our Tuesday 20.
One side of the field has all of our defensive kids (we are a two platoon program). The other side of the field has our offensive kids. If you are not a two platoon program, you can still tweak this concept to make it work for you.
While our defensive kids are working five stations of tackling, turnover, and pursuit drills; the offense is split up into a WR station, a QB station, and a OL-RB station.
The WR's do three stations self-contained- stalk blocks, take blocks, & crack blocks. The last two stations they combine with the QB's. The first three stations the QB's are on their own working QB footwork and fundamentals.
We are a Spread Gun Wing-T program, so our RB's & O-Line are working four stations of Gap blocks, Down blocks, Reach/Fire blocks, and pass pro blocks. The last station (#5) they all drive the sled.
So in 20 minutes, each station is about 3 1/2 minutes with 30 minutes rest. All levels of our coaching staff are teaching all levels of our kids. All levels of our coaching staff are coaching together. All skills are consistently taught from level to level. The first week of pads, we do this "Tuesday 20" concept everyday, with an emphasis on teaching and proper technique. After the first week, we only do this concept every Tuesday, and each week the focus should be more on repetition- but master the technique and teaching early!
As a head coach, I supervise and make sure the stations stay on time. I correct coaches before or after, but not during the drills. I also make sure to carry a camcorder, and record the right and wrong techniques, and show them to the kids and coaches.
You can take this idea and tweak it however you'd like. It's been GREAT for our program, and I'm always looking for ways to make it better.
2nd Example:
We do something similar. We are not 2 platoon, BUT, Mondays is Offensive day and we have "Program" time for 15-20 minutes. We have 3 stations: 1. Team Sled (toughness & Blocking) 2. Ball Security/Bags (Score!) 3. Cone Drills (work pressure step & cutting off outside foot). We continue "Program Time" Pat & Go, Rapid Fire (ROA-Quick Game), "Indy".
On Tuesday - defensive day, we also have "Program Time" for 40 minutes. Stations are: 1. Team Sled (Toughness & Tackling) 2. Agility - Grass / Bag Drills 3. Turnover Circuit 4. Tackling Circuit. We will also continue with all 3 levels doing a Pursuit Drill, Team Alignment, and "Indy". Wednesdays our frosh/JV are on their own and Varsity Practice is a Split practice.
3rd Example
Station #1
Form Block mechanics. Each player was taught how to perform a drive block. We would use different progressions to focus on for each day. One day we may have them just work on getting into a fit and drive defender down a board. Next day may be drive defender down board and then have defender try and rip through the block and have the offensive player accelerate their feet and finish the block.
Station #2
Open field blocks: This was based on the position that was rotating through. OL would pull or screen pull and block a defender in space. WR would stalk or crack, RB's would would lead or arc block.
Station #3
Drive the 7 man sled
