Simple Youth Football Coaching

Football can be as complicated as it seems as you want to be Coach. Football is about getting the ball down the field by striking it in the net at the highest level. Forming 11 players together to work as one single unit like scattering marbles brought together to form a pack trying to hit a goal. 

Youth football training can be very rewarding and you can be successful with a simple strategy and having fun coaching with your youth football team. The first step is always in coaching is having a plan of defending and attacking the ball. In that plan youth football coaching drills are setup every training session, while still making it fun for the kids. 

Of course the first couple sessions always start with some basic warm up drills like stretching and flexing to make your kids more agile and prepared in the field. After they heat up, let them practice and play for 30 minutes. Of course, kids do have a very little body structure so its better to guide them while playing. This is a different approach for some youth football coaches, who never see the youth play until the last 20 minutes of warming up.

After the playing session, hooked up with new drills and skills that you want to teach with the kids, focus on whatever you want them to improve. After the killing sessions, Setup a 4 man group, and play practice games. With more coaching and guidance involved, then more confident the kids will be playing on the field.
