Football for Youths

This idea on [tag]practice[/tag] [tag]drills[/tag] for [tag]football for youths[/tag] comes courtesy of Ryan.   Adding some fresh ideas to practices always helps.

I think that the best thing I can do as a [tag]football[/tag] [tag]coach[/tag] is provide my players with fun rewards for hard work.   I know that this is nothing new, but it is something that [tag]coaches[/tag] should continue to provide for their teams until the end of time.   Every so often, I try to break through the monotony of practice with station work that includes fun.   For example:

1.           Dizzy Bat [tag]drill[/tag]: Spin around the bat 10 times, and find the loose football
2.           Monkey Rolls
3.           Leap Frog
4.           The gauntlet
5.           An obstacle course which involves a variety of football skills, ultimately concluding with a shot on a tackling dummy
6.           Steal the Bacon

I firmly believe that players get very motivated through this type of practice.   They get that fire back which sometimes gets lost throughout the course of a season.
