Coaching Youth Football - Offensive Line Drill

Sunday, October 17, 2010

When planning who my blockers are I utilize this pop warner football drill. I should say, I have my offensive line coaches perform this test. It is a classic test participants block against the instructor was clutches a blocking pad. Every child starts out in a three point stance straight in front of the manager. The coach exhales into the whistle, or shouts a cadence and the participant strikes the pad with as much force as he can and thrust blocks the coach. The instructor will maintain his position while letting the player push him easily. The coach yells out a number giving that player a ranking. We use a range of 1 (weak) to 10 (strong). The children then go to the end of the line and wait until it is their turn again.

You will detect rapidly that a competition will commence among the lids as they start questioning to each other "What was your score from coach?" All of a sudden there is a competition where each kid is trying to out perform one another.

Similar to the Iron man drill, you recognize which players continue to work harder to improve their ranking while other kids lay back and quit trying since they do not like to compete against other kids. The head coach must keep up a good morale for all players on the team. You must pay attention to the weaker kids by giving then just one duty. All coaches should assist these players in helping them specialize at it. Give them time, and as the season progresses, these kids will get good at their skills.

You are a manger, instructor and teacher of youth football, not High School, college or the Pros. Your task is to make certain all kids, particularly the delicate kids do not get an attitude and decide not to play. Please maintain clear-cut notes making sure the delicate kids attitude is positive.

Every athlete is required to start this drill with a proper three point stance.

Another usual inquiry is if the pee wee football players should be taught to block using their hands or using the shoulder pads. Every player should be exposed to each fashion since separate situations may need different types of blocking. The individual participant may find one style easier than the other.

It is common that the same players are your best blockers, runners and passers. All players, regardless of the position the play, will need to thro a block at some point. Also, depending on the offense you set up the running backs and split ends will be required to perform significant blocks.
