Practice plan · Monday · Oct 12, 2026
Quick-route gauntlet, split Unicorn/QB-receiver stations, a 15-minute flag-pulling alley, four plays against skeleton defense, and Sharks and Minnows to finish.
Catch Quick on a sharp return, sit the Unicorn in open shallow grass, take clean flag-pulling angles, then rep Toss Pass and Bulldog plays against a skeleton defense.
Start right away: WR drives toward the sideline, plants and cuts sharply back toward QB at one yard beyond the line; catch, tuck, zigzag through four staggered cones, quick feet through the agility ladder, and sprint to finish. Mirror Quick Left and Right. Two lanes if possible; share the ladder to avoid long lines.
Eight players total. Station A — coach with 3 Unicorns: Cross releases to shallow called-side flat (1–2 yards); Bulldog Pass and Throwback settle wide at 2–3 yards. Reps without a defender, then add a shifting defender: find grass, sit, face QB, show hands. Station B — assistant with the other 5 girls: rotate QBs and WRs through Quick Left/Right, Twins Quick + Flag, and Cross timing. Use coach/stand-in center for snaps.
Eight girls split into two groups of four, one group per 5-by-8-yard alley. Rotate pairs between runner and defender. 15 minutes: runner chooses an exit gate; defender approaches under control, watches hips, takes the angle and pulls a flag without contact. Begin at half speed, increase to three-quarter speed, and finish with ball-carrier identification after a reverse fake. Rotate quickly so everyone gets multiple clean pulls.
Use 5 on offense vs 3 skeleton defenders (all eight girls), rotating defenders every two or three plays; light coverage with no contact. From Unicorn Right: QB tosses BACKWARD to U behind the line; U sets and throws the forward pass beyond the line. Read Y wide at 2 yards, then X on the 5-yard banana cross, then C on the corner. Repeat after one walkthrough.
Switch to Bulldog and stay there: QB drops straight back like a pass; Y crosses underneath IN FRONT of the QB for the handoff and sweeps left. X deep post, C five-yard flag, U to the right flat. Defenders recognize who actually has the ball and take proper pursuit angles; no blocking or screening.
Same pass-style drop and Y crossing IN FRONT of QB as Sweep; QB fakes the handoff, keeps and throws to U sitting 2–3 yards beyond the line in the right flat. C runs five-yard right flag, X deep post, Y sells sweep into wheel. Add a shifting defender and reward U for sitting in open grass.
QB hands to X running right; X hands to Y reversing left, both exchanges behind the line. U sells the lead sweep without blocking. Walk the mesh once, then try controlled reps with defenders reacting to the real ball carrier, not the fake. Leave Double Reverse for a future practice.
Finish with five minutes of flag Sharks and Minnows: 2 sharks start in the middle and 6 minnows cross the designated lane while sharks try to pull a flag, and caught minnows join the sharks on the next round. Keep space between lanes and enforce no tackling, blocking or contact. Final team cheer.
