0 Tips For Youth Football Training

By Nelda Powers


Football is known to be a very hardcore sport that requires a lot of training and a lot of body conditioning so that one can be big and strong. Of course if that were to happen, then the coach would have to come up with a training routine and some drills that would definitely help. For coaches, here are some tips for some youth football training drills.

The most common and actually easiest drill to do is none other than the jump squat. Do take note that one will be running jumping a lot which means that he will have to have extremely strong legs. He will never know when he will have to jump over an opponent or suddenly start running across the field.

To start the jump squat exercise, one has to first get down on a squatting position and start squatting down. From that position, he then has to jump as high as he can and bend his legs in the air. Just repeat this exercise a couple of times and the legs will be having a real workout.

The second drill that would be very beneficial to the players is known as the recovery exercise. This is the exercise that is specially designed for football and would help the player with hand balance. In a nutshell, this is training so that one will be able to balance his running and will also be able to get used to catching and passing the ball while he is sprinting.

In order to do this, the coach must first set three cones with the first one in front of the player to right, the second to the left, and the third one to the right again. The thing for the player to do here would be to run around the first cone and touch the ground there. After that, he must switch the ball to the next hand and do the same to the second cone.

The over speed drill is known to be a very hard one because it is also quite dangerous to do. In order to do this, the coach has to first find a steep hill for the players to run on. Basically, the players will be increasing their running control by trying to run down the hill without falling down.

The last drill that would be stated here would be the dummy tackling drill. Now this is probably one of the most common ones and would increase the overall body strength of the players. Basically, the coach would have to set up a set of dummies on the field and the players would have to push the dummies to a certain distance in the field.

So as one can see, the youth football training drills are not easy and would require a lot of time and effort before one would perfect them. However, after doing these drills, one will definitely expect his body to get stronger. That way, he will be ready to face his opponents when he goes out with his other teammates to the field.
