Coaching Youth Football

Whether you are coaching Pop Warner Football, Youth Football or Club Football, this manual will help you to learn the basics of coaching young athletes. This manual deals with the approach to handling these players, scheduling practices, and teaching techniques and drills suited to football players from the ages of eight to 13 years old. The overall intent of this manual is to show you a proven approach to coaching young athletes in a straightforward and simple fashion and outline the methods used successfully by me and other coaches on the youth football level. My teams enjoyed practicing (well, most of the time) and playing the games and were able to achieve a better-than-average winning percentage. You will be better prepared to deal with both the winning and losing after reading this manual.
