Youth football drills while waiting for your turn

by coach Kevin

Do your kids stand around when everyone else is participating in different things around practice? to get the most out of the kids time and to be the most efficient team, I have instilled that our subs for various special teams be doing something with a coaches view. Particularly, I like to see that kids who are not in the drills practice solely on stands and starts of their individual position, whether it be a four point stand, three point or even two point.

How does 7 on 7 effect youth football plays?

by coach Kevin

During the summer, you know that football is around the corner when schools start playing in  7 on 7 drills against other teams. THis is truly the start to getting A feel and understanding where your teams skill positions are and where they are headed. It has become customary that if you are going to compete you must be practicing as hard on all of your plays even without your coveted linemen. Even though teams are competing they are still trying to get better at the most important aspects of  what makes up a team.

7 on7 may not be at the youth level yet, but with the proper coaching and timing of these scrimmages, teams can greatly improve
