I recently heard Steve Szabo speak at a clinic. He said once a week he teaches the game of football to kids. Never got into specifics but he said this has helped when on the field because they understand the game more. He does it because claims this generation of kids dont know game like they used to.
Does anybody do this? If so, what are you teaching?

I allow 6th graders in to my classroom for 30 minutes once a week before school starts for this. I try to make it fun, educational, and usually add a sprinkle of inspiration. I wrote a grant for 15 ipads, and along with their phones we have had competitive rocket ship races on www.socrative.com & I have a few interactive football quizzes on getkahoot.com as well. I've covered many aspects of the game, and those last few weeks in May ill bump it to 2-3 times a week if I can. It'll be standing room only as stong relationships begin to take shape while many eagerly await their summer camp info, locker assignments, and first year playing together for the school. Focus areas in the past have been, safety, respect, teamwork, sound fundamentals/coaching ques, nutrition, game objectives, physical conditioning, positions, 7 habits of successful student athletes, compare & contrast "Madden" to 7-12 grade game. General philosophy, strategic elements, and conventional tactics are covered in brief. Always have to add fun videos from YouTube, cool hudl and the motivational clips, as well as just getting to know them in general. This is an inner city school where many of our boys have little to no experience. It's a pure joy & true blessing to have the opportunity to introduce this special game to them, and anyone else that would like to talk football! Great idea and I hope this helps!

I am currently meeting with our JV and varsity players each Tuesday and Thursday at lunch. Our football IQ is not very good. I figured...quit complaining...and start teaching them.
I created a Google group for them and have them all on Hudl. I can share them playbooks and test them through Google Forms.
I like what I seeing so far, but I know I can do better with them. Each Tuesday and Thursday morning at 7am I walk through what we taught them in the gym.
I want them to speak the language of our football program. I see some good things in the gym as well.
What are we doing? Really everything. Defensive install wise. And I make the D line know each spot...and the LBs, Safeties, and corners...know every job. I told them..."I want 50 defensive coordinators on our team". "Know it better than me".

I openly say that 95% of my football knowledge I learned from my HS OL coach because he would explain everything in depth to us every chance he got. We would watch film forever and get into the minute details.
The problem I face now is time with my guys. If I had it my way each position coach would get 45min-1hr with his guys in meetings to get on the board and watch film.

We start every practice except walk-through in the classroom using playmaker, hudl, etc. We want our kids to know why we do what we do as opposed to being automatons doing x, y or z b/c "that's their job."
With only so many minutes in a day, sometimes it crunches our field work but I feel it pays huge dividends throughout the season.

This past fall we started walking through one play per day with our freshman. I have them for 45 minutes for first two weeks. We started with Trap. I told an LB where to lineup (inside shade of the Guard). He played Center in 8th grade. He asked "Guard, is that the one next to the Center, or over one more." That's when I realized we had to stop and go through it. We walked through every position on offense for a trap. We showed them what they offense was trying to do. How we defend it, and want to defend it. How we could get out of position etc. It took the full 45 minutes and we started by walking through how to defend it, then half speed, then about 5 minutes of full speed. The kids all thought it as helpful, and so did we coaches. The next day we did the same for iso, then counter, and sweep, pass, option etc. It took a lot of time initially, but after than when I said run a trap, all 11 freshman had a good idea of what i meant.

Yes but I am going to show them in meetings too... the problem obviously is that not all will watch. I can't really do any about it now but during the season kids won't get reps

Out of season we do weekly tests. Kids take it on their time, we grade using a chrome app called Flubaroo, post the results, and have Q&A through text and after our workouts. We do them for Defense currently and will incorporate it in a QB school and offensive unit test as well. You can go to the link and take a look. Just don't finish it please! I'd like to not have more responses to grade... D Test 2

Been moving through a lot of things in my head like this and how to do it. Has anyone done the quizzes and tests with scouting reports and such? Not a whole lot but just the basic information about the other team. Also, I know you can tell how many minutes players watch film on Hudl, what are the standards that you all have found to deem that they really did watch the film the way you wanted it?

We definitely need to do more of this. We find ourselves talking about the lack of understanding with our kids in regards to general football knowledge. Granted, we can do more with this and teach them the basics, but we ask our kids every now and then if they watch football and surprisingly we hear about more and more kids who don't watch any football. It's more important than ever for us to teach our kids the basics of the game!

Yes- if you look at the test i linked in my last post we use still frames and screen snapshots from scouting reports. We did written tests during the season on a weekly basis based on our opponent.

I thought the Hudl rep at a clinic said they're working on being able to view presentations on iPhone/iPad, but it's not possible now.

Yeah it's not bad. Difficult to figure out at first but worth it as it auto-grades multiple choice/true-false questions
