Mike sent in these great suggestions for football tips and drills. Try these creative tips to reduce your team’s offsides and penalty calls. Keep ‘em coming!
The best football coaching tip I would like to share with you is game specific in nature. Basically, NO football drill starts with a “whistle”.
(1). All offensive football drills, sprints, etc begin with a cadence. We also try to vary the count and if someone jumps (especially in sprints) we send everyone back five yards.
(2). All defensive football drills begin with ball movement. We shout out offensive colors and numbers with the intent to draw defenders offsides (again with five yard penalties assessed, when appropriate). We use a football taped to a broom handle to help simulate ball movement.
(3). Finally, we end drills with a “whistle”, just like in a game.
The objective is to keep everyone going 100% UNTIL the whistle. As a result, our offsides and illegal procedure penalties have been greatly reduced.
