| Coaches Information |
 |
Keep it simple: Be a teacher, the best coaches are
teachers with whistles.
Positive methods only!!! It is best to spend most of your practice time on basic
fundamentals and skill development.
Scheming is a fun part
of the game but introduced too early, kids will depend on
using the easy way out instead of technique, solid
fundamentals and execution. The team that blocks and
tackles best will usually win.
Daily Talks With Team: Emphasize sportsmanship, integrity,
humility, responsibility, intensity and discipline.
Practice Plans: Be organized. Plan every practice before
you get on the field. Establish a routine for your practices
and drills. Eliminate standing around. Must have multiple
drills going at all times.
Include “fun” activities to break-up
the routine.
Games: Be prepared. Organize lineups for playing time
requirements, injuries, etc.
Be positive!!! It is all about the
kids. Let them play and have fun.
