If you're looking for some fresh ideas for coaching your flag football team, give these a try. They work on conditioning and tackling and your players will have fun at the same time. One thing I have done with my young flag football team 5,6,7 yr olds, is to play a game I call SHARK. It involves the whole team and the kids get some major practice in while they think it's a game.
While coaching elementary flag football one of the hardest things to get my flag football players to do was to run north and south rather than east and west.
While coaching 5-8 year olds in flag football for 4 years, I have some favorite flag football coaching tips for youth. I have actually been successful running a full spread offense out of a gun. The biggest skill set required is good ball handling, whether it be for snapping the shotgun, QB, pitches/handoffs or receiving.
