Take a look at this submission from Greg, one of my subscribers. A great idea for coaching football special teams that can work with all age groups.
From Greg…
Here’s my football contribution–
Thursday, the night before our Friday’s game, we usually go over football special team preparation.
We do this in an actual game simulation, here’s how it is done:
1. We start out by doing our kick off ( we send the starters out onto the field as the football coaches are on the sideline to simulate a real game) we have our JV on kick return. We do this so All know who is on the Kick-off team.
2. Next we run our starting defense on the field vs JV defense. We run 3 plays and the jv punts. Now our punt return team is on the field ( to make sure we all know who is on that team)
3. After we return the punt our starting Offense runs on to the field. We run 3 plays and then the starting Punt team runs out on the field and punts to our jv.
4. The jv fumbles on purpose and the punt team recovers. Starting “o” back on the field.
5. Starting “O” scores after 2 plays (on purpose) now the extra point team runs onto the field.
6. Now we have the Jv kick-off and starting kick-return runs a play.
7. Starting “o” runs 2 plays and fumbles.
8. Starting “D” runs onto the field.
9. JV offense scores and then Starting “D” extra point team is in.
10. At this point we have run through all teams that will be on the field Friday night under game situations.
We have found out the kids like this and they remember who is on each team better as they recall the previous football practice.
