Youth Football Training Exercises And Drills

By Nelda Powers


Football is known to be a very hardcore sport that requires a lot of training and a lot of body conditioning so that one can be big and strong. Of course if that were to happen, then the coach would have to come up with a training routine and some drills that would definitely help. For coaches, here are some tips for some youth football training drills.

The first drill up on the list would actually already be the simplest and is known as the jump squat. When it comes to football, do take note that leg strength is very important because the legs will be used heavily during the games. It is essential that one would have the capability to run really fast and jump high.

To start the jump squat exercise, one has to first get down on a squatting position and start squatting down. From that position, he then has to jump as high as he can and bend his legs in the air. Just repeat this exercise a couple of times and the legs will be having a real workout.

Another drill that will be done by novice players would be the recovery drill. Now this drill would cover a lot of skills that one will be needing in order for him to beat the opponent. Basically, it will help one be able to get a better sense of balance in general and will also help one be able to pass and catch the ball from player to player while running on the field.

To do this, one must first put a cone in front of the player followed by another one five yards from the first one and a last one ten yards from the first one. Now the catch here would be to simply run around the cone and touch the ground beside each of the cones there. While running around, make sure to switch the ball from the right hand to the left and from the left to the right after running each cone.

Of course if one would want to increase his running speed, then he has to do the over speed exercise. Now this would only work if the coach is able to find a steep hill to train on. Basically, the players have to run down the hill and try not to fall down.

Lastly, dummy tackling is one of the best exercises that would be used for the overall body conditioning of the players. Basically, the coach will have to set up a tackling dummy on the field. After doing that, the players must be able to push that dummy to a certain part of the field.

So basically, those are some of the youth football training drills that are commonly used by coaches in general. These drills are used in order to strengthen the entire body of the player and have him gain some skills as well. That way, he and the team will be able to be in tip top condition during the game and gain victory over the opponent.
