Keep Attendance during the Youth Football Try-outs
You must keep attendance throughout the entire youth football evaluations. This will make sure all kids get a fair chance. In addition, most leagues have a minimum day rule. The first is the players must participate three days of a non-contact practice before they can put on their equipment and hit.
The second minimum rule we have is a player must participate in 12 contact practices before he can play in the first game. Please check with your youth football administration for any special rules they may have.
It is very important when coaching youth football that you are organized and do not put any player or your league in any jeopardy. Not only should you be concerned with breaking any rules but also with the safety for each player.
I keep it very simple, during the youth football tryouts I make sure every player checks in with me before the practice starts. I explain the importance of making sure I mark them as present at the practice. If they come late I tell they it is their responsibility to let me know.
I keep a master youth football roster of all the players alphabetically by last name.
