Flag Football Drills • Running/Hand Off Drill O Stress to Kids That the Arm Flag Football Drills Running/Hand Off Drill o Stress to kids that the arm closest to the quarterback is the one that goes up when receiving a handoff, and the one further away is the arm that is lower . o Split two groups evenly and have them line up on a line about 10 yards apart from each other. Have one side start with the ball, he should then run towards the other group, while the first runner from that group runs towards him. Both sides are assigned a side to stick to once they meet each other, practice hand off exchanges between the two groups. Keep practicing this motion between the two sides. Passing/Catching Drill o Have a quarterback and receivers line up on a line, which can be used as a line of scrimmage. The receivers should line up one behind the other. The quarterback and receivers should figure out which route they are running, have the quarterback work on leading receivers and the receivers work on catching the ball, then turning up field. This drill can be more efficient if you have two quarterbacks; you can then have receivers on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Defensive Drills o Pursuit drills will help defenders figure out which angles to take when chasing a ball carrier. A good way to do this is to have one player line up on the five yard line, somewhere in the middle of the field. The other player should stand at the goal line but right on the sideline. Set a cone about 40 yards on the sideline from the goal line. The players should race to the cone, the player on the sideline wins when they beat the player in the middle of the field to the sideline. The player in the Middleton of the field wins if they cross the face of the player on the sideline. o This drill teaches kids correct angles to take. Cone Player 1 Sideline Player 2 Goal Line Passing Tree Drill o Similar to the other passing drill, have a quarterback and wide receiver line up on the line of scrimmage. Now, instead of calling out the name of the route, assign each route a number. Have the quarterback yell out a number before he “snaps” the ball, and then execute the throw to the receiver. 1 is an in. 2 is a post. 3 is a fly. 4 is a flag. 5 is an out. 6 is a curl. 7 is a slant. 3 4 2 Sideline 1 5 6 7 Quarterback Flag pulling drill o Have two players lined up straight across from each other about 10 yards apart. Set up two cones to the left or right of them that run on the line of scrimmage. When a coach blows a whistle, have the two players run to the cones, with the offensive player turning up field. When they meet at the cones, the defensive player should try to pull off the offensive players flags. Simple Throwing Drills o Have players line up about 5-10 yards apart from each other. Make sure players are gripping the ball correctly and throwing with good, proper throwing techniques. For the people who are receiving the ball, make sure they are attempting to catch the ball with their hands. If it is a lower pass, make sure they are catching it with their “pinkies down” and possibly touching. If it is chest level or higher, make sure they are roughly making a diamond shape and catching the ball with their hands. .

    Mini-Stability Ball Exercise Manual Sculpt lean muscle, increase mobility, improve your posture, and strengthen your core with this easy to use exercise guide Table of Contents Page 1 Introduction Page 2-21 Abs Page 22-27 Thighs Page 28-37 Glutes Page 38-41 Arms Page 42-43 Back Introduction The Open BarreTM Mini Exercise Ball is used to more effectively & efficiently target the muscles you’re strengthening. It’s very important to pay attention to the correct alignment of each exercise, so make sure you read through and understand the set-up of the exercise beforehand. It’ll ensure that you’re keeping your body safe as well as using your time wisely. The ball is inflatable and deflatable, so you can use the straw (or a pump) to fill it to your desired firmness level. Generally, the firmer the ball, the more challenging! It will start to lose air over time, so you can simply pull the white cap out (or dig into the ball to locate the tip of the plug and press it out from the inside), blow/ pump more air into the ball, and replace the cap nice and tight. It’s ok that some air will escape before plugging it back up with the cap. Just make sure that you blow up the ball a tad more than desired... and of course try to be quick with the plug to stop the air-loss.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 7, No. 5 (1985) THE 1920s ALL-PROS IN RETROSPECT By Bob Carroll Arguments over who was the best tackle – quarterback – placekicker – water boy – will never cease. Nor should they. They're half the fun. But those that try to rank a player in the 1980s against one from the 1940s border on the absurd. Different conditions produce different results. The game is different in 1985 from that played even in 1970. Nevertheless, you'd think we could reach some kind of agreement as to the best players of a given decade. Well, you'd also think we could conquer the common cold. Conditions change quite a bit even in a ten-year span. Pro football grew up a lot in the 1920s. All things considered, it's probably safe to say the quality of play was better in 1929 than in 1920, but don't bet the mortgage. The most-widely published attempt to identify the best players of the 1920s was that chosen by the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee in celebration of the NFL's first 50 years. They selected the following 18-man roster: E: Guy Chamberlin C: George Trafton Lavie Dilweg B: Jim Conzelman George Halas Paddy Driscoll T: Ed Healey Red Grange Wilbur Henry Joe Guyon Cal Hubbard Curly Lambeau Steve Owen Ernie Nevers G: Hunk Anderson Jim Thorpe Walt Kiesling Mike Michalske Three things about this roster are striking. First, the selectors leaned heavily on men already enshrined in the Hall of Fame. There's logic to that, of course, but the scary part is that it looks like they didn't do much original research.

  • Drafting NFL Wide Receivers: Hit Or Miss? by Amrit Dhar
    Drafting NFL Wide Receivers: Hit or Miss? By Amrit Dhar I. Introduction The Detroit Lions, an NFL franchise known for regularly fielding poor football teams, attained a cumulative win/loss record of 48-128 from the 2000-2010 seasons. Many football analysts believe that part of their failure to create quality football teams is due to their aggression in selecting wide receivers early in the NFL draft, and their inability to accurately choose wide receivers that become elite NFL players. Over the past decade, they have spent four of their 1st round draft picks on wide receivers, and only two of those picks actually remained with the Lions for more than two years. The Lions represent an extreme example, but do highlight the inherent unpredictability in drafting wide receivers that perform well in the NFL. However, teams continue to draft wide receivers in the 1st round like the Lions have done as the NFL has evolved into a “passing” league. In 2010 alone, 59 percent of NFL play-calls were called passes, which explains the need for elite wide receivers in any franchise. In this report, I want to analyze whether the factors that teams believe are indicative of wide receiver effectiveness in the NFL actually do lead to higher performance. The above anecdote suggests that there is a gap between how NFL teams value wide receivers in the draft and how well they perform in the NFL. By conducting statistical analyses of where wide receivers were chosen in the NFL draft against how they performed in the NFL, I will be able to determine some important factors that have lead to their success in the NFL, and will be able to see whether those factors correspond to the factors that NFL draft evaluators believe are important for success in the NFL.

American football gained fame as the people wanted to detach themselves from the English influence. The father of this sport Walter Camp altered the shape and size of the ball to an oval-shaped ball called ovoid ball and drawn up some unique set of rules. Objective American Football is played on a four sided ground with goalposts at each end. The two opposing teams are named as the Offense and the Defense, The offensive team with control of the ovoid ball, tries to go ahead down the field by running and passing the ball, while the defensive team without control of the ball, targets to stop the offensive team’s advance and tries to take control of the ball for themselves. The main objective of the sport is scoring maximum number of goals by moving forward with the ball into the opposite team's end line for a touchdown or kicking the ball through the challenger's goalposts which is counted as a goal and the team gets points for the goal.
