I recently coached a [tag]youth flag football[/tag] team   for the first time!   The kids were 5 and 6 year olds and quite a challenge!   In our league, blocking is done by just guarding, as in basketball.   The kids weren’t really getting it.

What I did was line them all up on the offensive line and they were all told to stay in and block.   I had a center, a QB, and a running back behind him.

The assistant [tag]football coach[/tag] and I were the defense.   They hiked the [tag]football[/tag] and the kids did a great job at keeping the assistant coach and me from the running back.

They learned to block and had fun stopping us,   (a bigger defense than they would ever see in the game). Worked like a charm.
