We are at a school where kids lack football IQ. I want to get a creative way for kids to watch bowl games and NFL playoffs. However, want them to learn the game as well. Anybody ever done anything like this or watched the game where they teach kids the basics of football???

The best thing we have done is watch film as a group. And work the heck out of the cowboy remote to get them to look at a specific thing/person instead of just watching the game. IE LB reading the OG - hammer the idea of watching the steps/track of block/pull; DB reading the stem of the WR; etc....
Just pull some scout team film and make short play lists. Don't do it with game film of themselves, they will look more at themselves.

I know some guys that have kids come over to their place on a Sunday afternoon, eat nachos and watch NFL football.

One thing we have emphasized is to put film on, pause it, have the kids ID their key before the snap, then run it for about half a second and freeze again, then based on what they see for that first half a second we want the kids to PREDICT what the play is, then we run it and they can see if they were right.
For example, as the DL coach, let's say the tackle is reach blocking, I want the DE to recognize within half a second that the OT is taking a reach step, then we run the film to see if he diagnosed it correctly.
Obviously we only have so much time to do this together so we encourage kids to do this on their own as well.
We can also do this to some extent with offense but it certainly is valuable IMO for the defense.

This is not exactly the same thing, but we had the kids do a scouting report on the people they will individually face.
So the DE is writing up a report saying that #70 is 6'2" 280. Good down blocker. Ok, pass blocker. Can beat him with a speed rush. Not a great hook block. Plays nasty. Sits back in his stance when pulling on GT counter.
Each position can do this. They sometimes pick up keys and tells.
We do this in addition to team scouting and watching film together.
The kids could hand it in, take a picture of it hand written and text me, or just email or text me.
The kids got 4 forties off on Mondays running if they turned it in before practice.

I know some guys that have kids come over to their place on a Sunday afternoon, eat nachos and watch NFL football. This is what I do. You may remember from back in the day on TV when there was the "You make the call" deal where they set up the play and then you had to guess how it was going to turn out. Early in the year I do something similar. After watching half of a pro or college game so that kids can see a team's tendencies we'll stop just before the snap (DVR is a great thing!). Kids will write down on a piece of paper what they think the offense or defense is going to do. We roll forward, kid closest to the answer gets a point. At the end of the game the kid with most points gets a $10 iTunes gift card. Once we get into league and I have film on opponents we do the same thing (I've seen the scout film but the players haven't until we do this). The competition of winning that stupid gift card really makes kids pay attention, they become glued to the screen. After we whooped on one opponent badly the opposing coach said to me, "Man, it felt like your linebackers were in the huddle with my team." |

I like the general idea but with the way teachers and coaches are getting accused of abuse I'm not crazy about inviting kids to my house. I'd rather invite them to a Buffalo Wild Wings or somewhere similar to watch a game. |

I would probably only invite them to my place if there was another coach (or two) present. It's a shame how today's society hamstrings some simple, fun activities. |

I'd rather invite them to a Buffalo Wild Wings or somewhere similar to watch a game. Totally get what you're saying and the concern has crossed my mind. I do a couple things that mitigate it (I think): 1 - I'm never alone with ANY of the kids. 2 - There's always 2+ coaches there. 3 - Everybody stays in the den unless they're taking a squirt. 4 - If a dad wants to come he's welcome but when we're looking at opponent film he's gotta keep his yapper shut. I realize I may be deluding myself but really, if a kid's going to make an accusation it could be done over something on the bus, in the locker room, etc. I considered doing it at B-Dubs but it's loud there and a lot of distractions. Your mileage may vary. |
