Every coach working on youth football training needs to have in mind that they are kids first. They need to be handled in a way that they will learn fast and not feel pushed too much. Football training drills however should not be the major part of training in any session. Other tactics and team building should be done for a good team to be brought up.
Drills are defined as the repetitive, narrowly defined activity that is closely supervised. Most of these activities are normally resisted by the players hence the close supervision to instill them. It perfects specific techniques into the players for long term memory and motor skills.
Another skill in football training is repetition. This involves doing one move over and over till it is learnt and memorized. Players can choose the skills that work best for them then work on repeating it. Doing this helps a team work together in synchrony and the learning process require very little supervision by the coach.
The chalk is simply a verbal training like what happens in a classroom. Before letting the players do the actual physical exercise, a talk should precede it for the explanation. No one however can learn a skill by chalk talk alone but it is important. Some muscle memory is necessary to instill the skill permanently into memory together with the mental hologram.
The other stage is put-ins; these are the first time activities a team goes through to make them accurate and consistent in what they do. These helps in performing specific offensive moves and defensive stops where necessary. The training process goes from chalk, walk-through and is completed at the scrimmage where full speed reins. Doing these properly makes a great youth football team.
The next stage is walk-through. Here the learnt skill is put into play at slow speed for everyone to see what is happening and for the coach to make corrections where required. This is the longest process since it is done very slowly. The offensive team demonstrates their new skills whereas the other team observes and prepares to react to the offensive. The opposing team stays almost motionless for example the fit-and-freeze technique.
Once a skill has been learnt in the slow stages, the team then goes full speed also known as scrimmage. Under the watchful eye of the coach, the teams play their specific skills at game speed with the offensive showcasing and defense preparing to stop the new skill appropriately. This is important for rookies so as to acclimatize their muscles and minds to real game situations. This also helps the defense with timing and reaction planning on the go. The offense team can use this to learn how to reorganize after passes and late-developing blocks. In this stage, very limited coaching takes place since the coach can only see a little of what goes on due to the speed.
As little as 20minutes is adequate for drill session in every training time. Youth football training needs a lot of time to master other skills and make the team one. Drill will only tire them out but leave them exposed to defeat in a real game.
