drills i like

don't like:
that box drill thing. i'm not sure what exactly it is working on.
the 'weave'. although i haven't seen anyone do that in years...

do:
dutch drill. a box of varying size. anywhere from 10yds square to almost a full field. team size up to like 6 on 6. 10 passes is a point. it accomplishes what i think the 'weave' is supposed to. good conditioning too...

two lines, 'go to' drill, take a jab step away from the thrower before cutting back. they should be learning to look out for someone elses cut before coming in, a little change of direction... i prefer it w/ a nice flat marker on the thrower, but most of my hs kids can't consistently beat that enough to allow fluidity...

we bring the lines in, and instead of comeback it's a deke and then a more lateral cut (like handler initiation/swing off the front of the stack).

a huck drill... everyone likes a good huck drill

a comeback based on the huck, cutter starts earlier, and comes back to the throwers, there are a couple ways to set this one up that i like...

2v2 trapped drill, w/ another pair as a deep to come in or go deep off the first pass...

a dump drill...

when it's really windy (frequently it blows like 30mph or more here) and/or i've got some really new kids, we mainly do the shorter passing stuff, or play hotbox, mini, dutch drill, or schtique.

i'm kind of ambivalent about that endzone drill... i think it's better to just run 3 lines (thrower, handler, scorer) so that it looks the same the whole time for better processing...
