Youth Football, Who Goes in What Position in Youth Football? How to Put Players in the Right Spots

Posted on by

Evaluating Youth Football Players Evaluating youth football players either for a draft or to determine positions is one of the most important but most poorly performed tasks done by many youth football coaches. Too often a player is assigned a position because he “looks” like the position without regards to the skills required of that specific position. Often times kids that look like football players or are the sons of coaches are given preferential treatment and are selected for the “skill” or glory positions. Another mistake many youth football coaches …

Coaching Football – Spread Offense For High School Football

Football – Spread Offense Is The Current Football Coaching Rage! It is so popular because you can use it with smaller football players.

What Makes a Youth Coach "Great"?

Posted on by

That is a question I get asked quite a bit. I also am a little perplexed when someone that is a poor coach by most definitions is called a “good coach”. Before we can determine if a coach is “good” or not, we first have to determine what the goals of a youth football coach should be. The goals should include both football skills goals and character building goals. Too many programs go to the extreme on either. The “win at all costs” coach that cares little about integrity or …

Coaching Youth Football – Making it Fun

Posted on by

This could easily be the first and last paragraph of this article. While coaching youth football you better make it fun for the players and coaches involved. The parents will fall in line if they see that their kids are having fun. Please remember most of these kids will not go on to play high school sports.
