How to teach and coach youth football players and teams

The Guide to Coaching Sport's objective is to "coach the football coaches" so that you can continue to help your child develop football skills. You will learn new techniques and drills that will enhance your child's ability to be successful.

We cover blocking, passing, practice organization, coaching philosophy, and other fundamentals. We do all of this with one underlying emphasis: MAKE THE GAME FUN! Our goal is not to turn your young player into a professional, but to give him or her the tools for success that will make the game more enjoyable for the both of you. If football is your game add this Web to your favorites right now.

Coaching Youth Football teams serves as the perfect step by step introduction for caring parents, coaches and young players. Produced in an easy, conversational style, this Web site covers all facets of the game, including basic fundamentals, offensive plays, defensive sets, special teams techniques and much more!

Coaching at the younger level (5 - 14 years) is so critical because this level is where children learn the basic fundamentals of the sport. Most little league coaches are parents like you and me who have other jobs and haven't been exposed to the techniques and training required to create successful athletes. However, most coaches and parents are eager to learn and want to see their children do well. 

You will know from your own experience that the way to become good at anything, whether it's swimming, poker online or football, is by practising and then more practising. Get to practice!

Unless your child is playing in a flag football league, having proper football equipment is an absolute necessity. A complete uniform including helmet, pads, mouthpiece, and cleated shoes is a first step in avoiding injury. For children that wear glasses, contact lenses is an alternative to discuss with your optometrist. Once the proper fit has been determined, you can order through their office or get contact lenses online at lens.com.
