5. Towel GamePurpose:• Determine who are yourstrongest and toughest kids.• Learn the importance ofstaying low and never givingup.• Have fun!Coaching Pointers:• As an added twist, you canhave the remaining playersget behind the cone of theplayer they think is going towin, if they choose wrong,have them run a short lap,do push-ups, etc.Set-up and Instructions:Thanks to Dave Cisar (www.winningyouthfootball.com) for this drill.Take a large bath towel, roll it tightly the long way and tape off the endsby wrapping white athletic tape around the end 8-9 times. Also bind upthe middle in same fashion. It now looks like a puffy rope. Now takethree cones and space them off in a triangle about 7 yards from thetowel in the middle. Select three fairly even kids and have each grab thetowel at a taped area, one on each end and one in the middle. Make sureone cone lines up with each player, again about 7 yards away. Now theplayer must drag the other players toward their cone and touch the conewith one hand while keeping hold of the towel. To win, a player musttouch his cone while still holding the towel. If a player loses contactwith towel, he can get back in game as long as the game has notdeclared a winner by another player touching their cone. Kids andparents love this drill.8
