Carrying a Football

5. Recovery Phase

  • It is important to maintain the football in its secure position while moving. The ball should still be resting on your forearm and tucked tightly to your body. However, when running you may need to switch between the right and left sides of your body to carry the football. It is important that you carry the football on the side furthest from the defender or closer to the sideline.

Carrying Drill
 
This drill focuses on ball security and being able to transfer
the football from one arm to the other. When switching the
football, make sure that the arm not carrying the ball comes
over the top of the football. Move your arms and legs as if
you are running to simulate a playing situation. Do not move
the arm carrying the football too much.
