I received these suggestions on how to be a football coach from Keith and from Joseph. Try the football coaching tip and the drill with your teams.
From Keith…
As the President of a youth football team my job is to create unity among my coaches, parents and players. One tool we use is a chapter wide cookout. Before the beginning of each season we have a chapter wide cook out. Each division is responsible for providing something for the cook out. The board is responsible for the meats, Hot Dogs, Hot Links, Hamburgers.
All the players and their family are invited out. We play various games, three legged race, water balloon toss etc. and have a coaches verses parents softball game.
Coach Steve, in one day with one event a bond takes place that lasts the entire year.
Yes it’s lot of work, but as we tell our kids “Hard Work Pays Off”.
From Joseph…

A. sprint from the first cone to the second
B. carioca from the second to the third
