Sounds like you guys had some turnover or red zone issues.

I'm sorry, I didn't notice this was in the youth football board till now. I did this with college aged kids

I like to use a three yard and then a seven yard angle tackle drill. This drill allowed me to see clearly who was and wasn't afraid of contact. Then I teach to focus on the footwork and keeping the eyes on the near hip/foot. Through this my players were recognizing their mistakes as they made them and for the guys that were afraid of contact it gave them something else to think about and wasn't as big of a hurdle for them mentally because of the short distance. Plus whenever a guy would shy away from a hit I made sure he was paired up with one of the bigger hitters on the team so that some pain could help them see the errors of their ways. But once they realize that the proper technique is the less painful way, they adapt.

I find it is confidence in doing what they are suppose to be doing. Eliminating the thinking aspect in execution to where the player just plays his assignment and uses the proper technique, and believes in his ability to do this, will eliminate the fear. There are of course the natural hitters and the natural quitters, but for the average guy I found this to be the best way.

In my experience spray paint is going to chip off a face mask no matter what. You have to send them off the be dipped for any real lasting results.

I imagine there are more teams that don't want to play them than those that will. I could see it hard scheduling the tougher teams toward the end of the season.
