If you are new to coaching youth football you may be wondering what are some great drills to run during my practices. Our Youth Football Drills Playbook has great drills for the youth, pee wee, midget and Pop Warner level as well as flag football.
This great book has multiple drills for the following positions:
Every one of these drills has been used by the coaches on our staff for many years. Theses drills are proven effective in teaching the fundamentals that are necessary to help kids develop into sound football players.
Far too many coaches today ignore the fundamentals and skip right to the plays. This is a grave injustice to the kids who need a sound base skills before they should learn any plays. Most players have no clue how to get into a proper three-point stance. Every team I coach, every single year, no matter how much experience they have, spend time every practice working on their three-point stance, blocking form and tackling techniques.
Make sure you check out our free article on the Angle Tackling Drillby clicking on the link. This drill is an age old classic that I use every season, with every team I coach. It is especially great for flag football, where you replace the tackling with flag grabbing. Grabbing a flag is actually a harder skill to acquire than tackling another player, so this drill makes players a better flag grabber.
