Take a look at these submissions from Jason and from Mike. Two great football drills for coaching youth flag football that work well with your younger players.
From Jason,
This football drill is great for conditioning and the kids really enjoy it as well.
Form large circle with helmets, 30 ft wide.
Have boys take off shoulder pads…
Have them take their shirt or jersey off and tuck in back of pants with good amount hanging. Have all kids in circle, blow the whistle and they have to take out the shirt of others. Last one standing with shirt wins. They get to sit out of sprints. It really wears them out towards end, staying alive. If they go outside circle they’re out; if they hold their own shirt they’re out; and if they hold or push they’re out.
From Mike
My football drill has to do with the backfield.
I need to remind you that I am working with 4-5 yr old kids. Their minds seem to wonder off. But anyway, my idea is to have a wishbone formation and have one of the backs run to the left and the quarterback follow the other backs to the right. The reason for this is to draw the linebackers and safety’s toward the back who runs to the left.
