1 View

Making progress with 2-3 steps ahead and a half step again it appears. We space working offense primarily at present. Our dynamic heat up and angle type tackling is at about 8 minutes now, mixed with our voluntary pre-practice cross catching and kicking progressions, it’s loads of time to get the muscle blood circulation and muscle activation we’re on the lookout for.

As has been the case we now have all three groups doing particular person drills collectively, which permits us to pit like expert and sized gamers collectively. The road began off with our board drill, after all beginning with a match, then going dwell. This yr we had been blessed with some half spherical dummies, they work extraordinarily nicely for this drill should you put 2 again to again. It forces the linemen to maintain a large base, in any other case they step on the dummy and fall. The board is much less forgiving, slick and simply 6 inches extensive. I am an enormous believer in lengthy half rounds, if in case you have the funds. We subsequent did double workforce suits on a tall bag, then progressed to dwell double groups. Bear in mind to pair the linemen collectively that will probably be double teaming in video games, it’s important that they discover ways to work collectively as a workforce.

The backs had been engaged on the splatter blocking drill then moved to the open area blocking drill we use known as the diamond drill. Any participant nonetheless battling the splatter blocking drill, stayed with it, because the open area blocking drill is a complicated drill. They then labored on the remainder of the “Sainted Six” base collection with coaches holding dummies on the level of assault and utilizing cones to designate linemen.

The road then labored their first two steps of the blocking tags we use to inform them find out how to block on every play. We began with energy, then went to brush, reverse and wedge.

We moved to our base blocking rule evaluate, ( which all of them did very nicely with), then added dads alongside the line of defense entrance and had gamers match and freeze on the proper “defender” with correct head placement on all of our blocking tags. Even the age 7-9 children appeared to select this up very nicely with only a few exceptions.

Lastly we labored about 10 minutes on our base cross block approach.

The backs in the intervening time had been repping performs, the age 7-9s are nonetheless on the Sainted Six, the 10-11s are dong the identical as there are simply 6-8 children which have performed earlier than on this workforce and simply 2 skilled backs. The age 12-13s put within the Mouse Sequence and Spinner Sequence in as all 4 backs have performed for us earlier than, however could also be in numerous positions. The road nonetheless has quite a lot of rookie gamers on it. We had been additionally capable of work quite a lot of the bottom changes in with the 12-13s. With all 3 groups we’re repping performs on air with coaches on the level of assault with shields. Now we have every coach teaching tiny parts of the offense, with one coach holding the left aspect of the o-line accountable to appropriate first steps, head placement and approach and one other coach doing the identical for the appropriate aspect of the offensive line. We after all are doing that for each place on each one in every of our soccer performs. After every rep a brand new group of gamers rush in to run the subsequent play, we’re a little bit slower than we wish to be at this level . The youngest group is getting a play off each 20 seconds or so, the age 10-11’s are at about 16 seconds and the varsity is at about 12-13 seconds.

To get the children used to contact we went dwell for about 20 minutes at present.

Maintain coming again for extra updates.
