Special Work for Offense and Defense Stations
I believe in every sport, at every level you need to break part of each practice into stations. Stations are broken down into specific positions so that drills and skills appropriate for the group are used.
In youth football practice, I break down into two or three stations on offense and three stations on defense. On offense we break into
- Linemen
- Backfield
- Receivers (only if I have the coaches for this)
If I do not have enough coaches, I will bring the receivers with the backfield group. If there are no specific plays, for the receivers, I will alternate them into the line group.
On defense, I like to use three groups that are
- Defensive Line
- Linebackers
- Secondary
Once again, if I am short on coaches I will combine the defensive line and linebackers.
I want to let my coaches coach the kids. This is also a great help on game day as each coach is watching his position, and the players know whom to see with questions
