Product Description

One of the NFL's leading coaches helps you improve your players' techniques and your team's performance

Building on the phenomenal success of the Baffled Parent's series, this comprehensive resource helps you expand your teaching skills and improve your players' performance and enjoyment. It's equally indispensable for parents thrust into coaching, former players taking on their first coaching assignments, and veteran coaches.

This great guide features:

  • Tackling and catching drills for the entire team
  • Group and team drills for offensive, defensive, and special team situations
  • A unique system of paired drills and instruction for wide receivers and defensive backs; linemen and tight ends; and running backs and linebackers
  • Photographs and diagrams that simplify the coaching process

From the Back Cover

The ultimate toolkit for youth football coaches

With its great emphasis on position on offense, defense, and special teams, football is the most complicated and challenging youth sport to coach. Youth Football Skills and Drills gives you the hands-on, step-by-step guidance to instruct young players and prepare them for the season. It presents and explains all of the essential techniques to play each position, provides proven drills you can use to teach each of these techniques, and suggests an optimum time-line structure for teaching and practicing each drill.

Unique among youth football coaching guides, this key to coaching success recognizes that most youth-team players play on both sides of the ball, and it recommends special drills that pair up key offensive and defensive positions. It also supplies important advice on organizing your coaching staff depending on the number of coaches you have and their areas of interest and strength.

Important features of this unparalleled resource include:

  • 64 drills covering vital skills needed at every position

  • 23 group drills that constitute a defensive and offensive play book for every game situation

  • Drills that teach the tackling and catching skills all players need

  • Match-up drills for key offensive and defensive positions: wide receiver and defensive back; defensive/offensive line; linebacker and running back; and more

  • Passing- and running-game drills for both offense and defense

  • Special-teams drills and plays

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must for Youth Football coaches, July 19 2006
    By Coach Mike - Published on Amazon.com
    This review is from: Youth Football Skills & Drills: A New Coach's Guide (Paperback)
    Got the book last week, read it over the week-end. First practice last night with the 8-9 year old team. I had prepared drills for the D-Line as I am D-Line coach.

    The defensive coordinator couldn't make it and there were only 11 kids at practice on defense because of vacations.

    I improvised with individual and group drills, that I picked up in the book, for 60 minutes. Kept the practice quick paced like Coach Bass said.

    Amazing! The kids were all into it. No talking and fooling around like usual because they're bored waiting their turn.

    I recommend it to any Youth Coach who is starting out or event with some experience.

    4.0 out of 5 stars First time Coaches bible, Jun 24 2007
    By Scott Willi "Football Dad" - Published on Amazon.com
    This review is from: Youth Football Skills & Drills: A New Coach's Guide (Paperback)
    If you have never taught / coached youth football before this is a step by step guide to running an efficient and productive practice session. Packed with specific drills for all the positions. Teaching / Coaching youth football is nothing like having been a player! I played peewee all the way through college and coaching is a totally different animal!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book for new coaches and/or parents, Jan 6 2009
    By Dan - Published on Amazon.com
    This review is from: Youth Football Skills & Drills: A New Coach's Guide (Paperback)
    I am not a football coach but rather a parent who bought this book to get some tips for teaching the fundamentals to my 8 year old who is just getting into football. However, I have coached baseball and soccer for many years and am familiar with coaching books and dvds.

    I think this book does a very solid job of laying out many key responsibilites and techniques of each position. The drills look applicable to real game situations which is important. Because it does cover all of the positions and special teams in one book, it is not extremely deep in each position, but that is expected. I would definately recommend this for new coaches or parents/players wanting to learn the keys to each position.
