Football Linemen Training

I received this suggestion on [tag]football linemen training[/tag] from Rob in New Hampshire. Keep ’em coming.

From Rob,
I am the Head Coach of our Junior Pee-Wee [tag]football[/tag] team in New Hampshire. I also [tag]coach[/tag] [tag]tight-ends[/tag] for the local high school.

With my young [tag]linemen[/tag] I find that they have a habbit of standing up out of their 3point stance before engaging the [tag]defensive player[/tag]. I have the following [tag]drill[/tag] that has worked well.   I take a tarp and have parents hold the corners and keep the tarp just above the players heads. I then have the players drive out of their 3point stance and stay low until the und of the tarp.   I know that there are shoots that are professionally made but this is a nice cheap way to do it.

My players all stay low and we both know in football the low man always wins.

Here’s another tip for your youth team [tag]practice[/tag]:
From Justin,
To keep all the kids having fun at the end of practice instead of just running [tag]sprints[/tag] or jogging around the field sometimes I strap the flags on myself and the kids have to pull my flags before we leave practice.
