I plan to keep the offense VERY simple. Base plays and the defense the same. I just need ideas for practice strucure and drills to keep the kids attention.
at that age, practice has to be ACTIVE, FAST, AND FUN.
1) DONT STRETCH! - the kids are warm when they get to practice, dont waste time stretching
2) DONT RUN LAPS! - laps arnt fun, they also do NOTHING for football conditioning.
at that age, this is how my practice would go (similar to our practice)
1) Team Blocking - Drive, Reach, and Double Team
2) Team Tackling - Circuit - Head up tackle, Angle Tackle, Perimeter tackle
3) Special Teams (assuming 3 practices a week...)
----> KO / KOR first practice
----> P / PR second practice
----> QUick Review - third practice
4) Defense
----> Indies
----> Team or Half lines (depends on numbers)
5) Offense
----> Indies
----> Team
this plan should take you no more then 2 hours
