Two drills you are really going to like if you play uptempo or are just looking for some ways to energize your practices.

The drills are from Coach Greg Jones.  He is currently an assistant at Central Missouri and has also been a head high school coach and a Power 5 assistant.

The excerpt below is from his Glazier Drive Clinic: [Practice Tempo Setters and Drills](https://production.glazierdrive.com/systems/lessons/17-practice-tempo-setters-drills).

Make sure to scroll below the video after you watch it for some of his teaching points.

 

The two drills from the video are:

- No huddle full field play drive vs. air (5 yards per play)
- 4 ring circus (you could do 3 or 2 ring circus if you have a smaller squad)

Game night is a reflection of what you do in practice.

When they play uptempo, they have one word for the formation and one word for the play.

He believes in celebrating a touchdown as a team.  They work hard all week to put themselves in a position.  Their cheer is "1-2-3 Goal Rush"
