Limiting the amount of contact during practice reduces the number of hits between players and also reduces the risk of injury. Practices early in the week can include a little more contact, but player-to-player drills need to steadily decline leading up to game day. This also will keep players fresher as the week progresses – a key factor especially when it’s late in the season. Coaches can limit contact in practice by using the USA Football Levels of Contact, using different variations of the same drills and decreasing the amount of contact called for each day.
