Coaching Tips and Drills
Coaching Tips and Drills Overview The purpose of this manual is to provide ideas, drills and activities for the coach to use at practice to help the players enhance their skills for game day. Strategy • Decide what style of game you want to play and plan your plays accordingly. There is only so much you can teach the players in the time you have, so keeping to a reoccurring theme can make it easier to understand what you are asking your players to do. Example: Play for first downs, not touchdowns. This might be accomplished by using short passes and running plays. Hydration Tips • Pre-hydrate • Players should drink 16 oz of fluid first thing in the morning of a practice or game • Players should consume 8-16 oz of fluid one hour prior to the start of the practice or game • Players should consume 8-16 oz of fluid 20 minutes prior to the start of the practice or game • Hydrate • Players should have unlimited access to fluids (sports drinks and water) throughout the practice or game • Players should drink during the practice or game to minimize losses in body weight but should not over drink • All players should consume fluids during water breaks. Many players will say that they are not thirsty. However, in many cases, by the time they realize that they are thirsty they are already dehydrated or on their way to be dehydrated. Make sure all your players are getting the proper fluids Defensive Tips • Pulling the flag • Watch the ball carrier’s hips as opposed to his or her feet, or head • Stay in front of the ball carrier • Stay low and lunge at the flag • If you grab anything but the flag, let go immediately to avoid a penalty • Playing Zone Defense • Each defensive back is responsible for an area as opposed to a player • This will enable you them to keep an eye on the receiver and the quarterback at the same time • As receivers come through your area, try to anticipate where the QB wants to throw the ball.

Linebacker: Watch the QB and Don't Let Him Run. Roll to the Right When He Does, and Cut Off All Running Lanes. in Flag Football
Linebacker: Watch the QB and don't let him run. Roll to the right when he does, and cut off all running lanes. In flag football, QBs love running, and if no one is watching, the QB will get a lot of yards on you. The Linebacker will also have to pick up offensive linemen that go out for a pass. Danger: The QB may fake a run out to one side, drawing the linebacker with him, and then an offensive lineman releases for a pass on the other side. The safety will have to be watching this, and run up to make the play. Linebackers and safeties have to know their positions, coordinate and talk to each other. The game will be won or lost by the play of the Linebackers and Safety. Safety: The Safety is the defensive QB, especially in flag football. He is to lead the defensive team. His role is to cover anyone who get loose. If a wide receiver is getting open deep, he covers and helps out. If an offensive lineman goes out, he has to cover him if the line backer is busy. If he sees a nice blitz opportunity, he can tell a cornerback to blitz, while he picks up the slack. If a corner blitzes, the linebacker covers the now open wide receiver short, and safety covers him deep. Can a safety blitz? Sure, because he is the extra guy. Let the linebacker know you are blitzing, so he can pick up your zone. The Safety and Linebacker are the two most crucial position on defense.

Player Backgrounds, Opportunity Structures and Racial Stratification in American College Football
1 PIPELINES ON THE GRIDIRON: PLAYER BACKGROUNDS, OPPORTUNITY STRUCTURES AND RACIAL STRATIFICATION IN AMERICAN COLLEGE FOOTBALL Kyle Siler Utrecht University Published 2019 in Sociology of Sport Journal Vol. 36, pp. 57-76. https://doi.org/10.1123/ssj.2017-0125 2 ABSTRACT: Stacking – the tendency of playing positions to be racially segregated in sports – remains prominent in gridiron football. This raises questions of how stacking persists and how opportunities arise for athletes of different races to assume different roles. Demographic data on 41,484 NCAA football players reveal differences in opportunities and playing roles for student- athletes of different races. In concert with previous racial stacking studies, white players continue to be overrepresented in central, leadership positions. Racial minorities are overrepresented in peripheral ‘skill’ positions. Stacking at each playing position is affected differently by the demographics of player high schools and college teams. Players assuming non-stereotypical roles are much more likely to come from a racially homogenous high school or college team. Even though racially homogenous schools provide stereotype-defying opportunities, they also exhibit intense racial stacking. The few white (or black) players on such teams are overwhelmingly slotted into stereotypical positions. Since stereotype-defying opportunities tend to emerge in racially homogenous schools, blacks playing typically white positions come from relatively poor schools. In contrast, whites playing typically black positions are relatively affluent, since such opportunities tend to emerge in whiter, wealthier schools. Implications for student opportunities and talent inculcation beyond the football field are discussed. 3 Introduction For better or worse, athletics assume a prominent role in campus life for athletes and non- athletes alike in most American colleges.
