    8 Coaching Special Teams 126 Coaching Youth Football Coaching Special Teams 127 ll phases of the kicking segments of a football game are referred to as “special teams.” Just as you teach the offensive and defensive segments to Ayour team, you also will coach all phases of the kicking game. At times, players focus more on their duties on offense and defense and downplay their roles as special teams players. However, special teams are an integral part of a successful football team, and you, as the coach, must remind all players that their contribution on special teams is just as important as their contribution on offense and defense. Kicking-Game Rules The following are special rules that apply only to special teams and should be taught to players as you coach the different phases of the kick- ing game: • A player signals a fair catch by extending an arm above the head and waving it from side to side. The receiving player cannot hit or be hit after a fair catch, and the ball cannot be advanced after the catch. • The kicking team may down the football after the ball has hit the ground. • No one on either team may block below the waist. • No player on the receiving team may touch the punter or kicker unless the receiving team has blocked the kick or the kicker runs with the ball. • A field goal is a scrimmage kick and uses the same rules as the punt. • On a kickoff, after the ball has traveled 10 yards, it is a free ball and either team can gain possession of it.

    Game Summary

    Florida Thwarts East Carolina Comeback To Win Birmingham Bowl, 28-20 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ---- Florida cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III intercepted an East Carolina pass in the endzone with just over a minute to play, halting a Pirate drive to help preserve a 28-20 victory in the 2015 Birmingham Bowl at Legion Field. The Pirates, who also played in the inaugural Birmingham Bowl in 2006, were driving for potential game-tying touchdown and two-point conversion, when Hargreaves picked off a Shane Carden pass with 1:20 to go. ECU had all of its timeouts remaining, but the Gators, faced with a third-and-four from their 26-yard line, were able to seal the victory when quarterback Jeff Driskel converted a first-down on a run off a bootleg play. Driskel began the season as Florida’s starting signal-caller but was replaced by Treon Harris midsea- son as the offense struggled. After Harris was injured in the third quarter of the Birmingham Bowl, Driskel took over as the Florida quarterback. The Pirates grabbed an early 7-0 lead when Carden connected with wide receiver standout Justin Hardy on a 3-yard touchdown pass with 7:06 left in the opening quarter. Florida tied the game moments later when Brian Poole intercepted a Carden pass and returned it 29 yards for a touchdown. Just four seconds into the second quarter, Gator running back Adam Lane scored on a 2-yard touch- down run and Florida never trailed again in the game. Lane would finish with 109 rushing yards on 16 carries with one score.

The principles that govern all rule changes are that theymust: •besafe for the participants; •beapplicable at all levels of the sport; •becoachable; •beadministrable by the officials; •maintain a balance between offense and defence; •beinteresting to spectators; •not have a prohibitive economic impact; and •retain some affinity with the rules adopted by NCAA in the USA. IFAF statutes require all member federations to play by IFAF rules, except in the following regards: 1. national federations may adapt Rule 1 to meet local needs and circumstances, provided no adaption reduces the safety of the players or other participants; 2. competitions may adjust the rules according to (a) the age group of the participants and (b) the gender of the participants; 3. competition authorities have the right to amend certain specific rules (listed on page 13); 4. national federations may restrict the above sothat the same regulations apply to all competitions under their jurisdiction. These rules apply to all IFAF organised competitions and takeeffect from 1st March 2018. National federations may adopt them earlier for their domestic competitions.
