Youth Football Parents Say the Darndest Things

Sometimes youth football parents say the darndest and in some cases the most revealing things.

We pay to have all of our games filmed by a professional videographer. We do a year end video for each player, we add interesting and amusing text comments and set the entire video to contemporary Christian music. We add a very cool case cover and laser the disc with a team picture as well. This ends up being a great keepsake for the player and saves the parents the hassle of having to film every game for those that want to archive the memories their kids are getting from youth football. Our videographer is not connected to our team, doesn't care who wins and never wears any Eagle gear, so no one really every knows who he is. Since his microphone is always on, we get to hear a variety of comments from the fans in the seats. Some of them are interesting and even amusing.

Last week at a game my team was dominating and looking exceptionally crisp, you could hear one of the opponent's parents deep in conversation with one of our parents. Our parent was telling him how little we hit, how little we scrimmage etc the other parent says somewhat incredulously, "How much DO you guys practice?" probably thinking we practiced 4-5 times per week or something along those lines. Our parent replied "we are down to 90 minutes twice a week now", the other parent said in a nice but almost fawning way "you are kidding me?". My guess this parent was aleady thinking, well we only practice 2 times a week that's why we aren't doing very well, I bet these guys meet 4 times a week.

Fans perceptions can be far from reality but at the same time many players, parents and even coaches think "Practice Makes Perfect". I'm not so sure of that, if you practice the wrong technique hundreds of times no matter how much it's practiced, it's not going to be effective. A more common youth football problem is that players aren't held to a perfect standard within specific techniques, the player is not corrected every time he does it wrong. The standard is there is no standard, the technique is taught, then it is hit or miss from that point forward. Kids will only perform to the standard the coaching staff sets and enforces.

Another huge problem is priorities and pace. Many youth football coaches waste so much time on non football stuff that has little to do with true player development and team development. If your team is in it's 8th week of practice and you are still doing 30 minutes of "conditioning" every day, are your kids not in football playing shape yet? Keep in mind my last 11 teams have run not a single wind sprint or done anything resembling a "conditioning period" we get all of our conditioning done within the context for our normal very high paced practice.

Even teams using my system often fail to understand what the pace of practice should be like in order to maximize the efficiency of practice which allows you to practice less but allows you to get more done than your competition. Every team clinic I've ever done in the last 2 years the pace has been significantly slower than I would ever allow in my own youth football practices. We always aggressively guard our precious practice time and always have a sense of urgency about our practices, not just during the month leading up to the first game, but up to that last practice before the last game.

In the last 30 days I did two team clinics in Los Angeles and Indianapolis. Both teams were VERY well coached by coaches that knew the material inside and out, chapter and verse. However, their pace was predictably about half as fast as we go. For example; in our dynamic warm up angle form/fit tackle drill, we do one rep about every 5-6 seconds, these teams did one every 12 seconds plus. When running our football plays on air we run one play every 12 seconds or so and that's with subbing in every rep, they were at about 25 seconds. We try and do everything at a pace that has out kids just on the edge of breathing hard.

In the end if your priorities, pace and have a consistent high level of urgency, you won't have to practice as much as many people think in order to execute well in youth football. When you practice less, the practices become important and focused and of course the parents love it as well.

Fantasy Football Defense & Special Teams Secrets - Draft Day Do's and Dont's

DEFENSE ... DEFENSE ... DEFENSE ! The crowd loves screaming it, some teams love playing it, and you hate drafting it! One of the hardest things for some owners to decide is when to draft a Team Defense in their Fantasy Football League. I have never had a problem in this area, and really love watching people get hung up on picking one of the elite Defense / Special Teams every year. In this ongoing series of Fantasy Football Draft Day Do's and Dont's, I tackle Team Defenses next.

Do...

...check your 2009 NFL schedules! Find out which teams have the easiest Defensive schedule. It helps to know that the Saint Louis Rams have the league's easiest schedule, and Denver has one of the toughest. Green Bay has the most favorable schedule for a Defense this year, and has 11 Interception Returns for TDs since 2006.

Do...

...understand your league's scoring format! I played in a live league last year that was HEAVILY slanted toward Defenses. The owners who did not do their math were blindsided by defenses posting negative scores some weeks.

DON'T...

...forget to take into account the Defensive Coordinator moves! Everyone is talking about the changes in Green Bay with Dom Capers going from a 4-3 to a 3-4 scheme. But don't overlook Jacksonville and Arizona, who are revamping their teams Defenses into more of a hybrid D. The Seahawks, Chiefs and Colts all have new head coaches. Watch the Pre-Season games and make sure you know if these are positive or negative moves.

DON'T...

...pick too early! Ask any owner who nabbed the San Diego Chargers with a middle round pick last year, and then saw Shawn Merriman go down, if they are drafting a D early this year. Wait until everyone else starts the D train rolling, and if you are comfortable with your starters and backups at your skill positions, look around round 10 or 11 for a Defense, and if all the elite teams are taken, wait another couple of rounds.

Picking a Team D / Special Team can only hurt you if you go too early. The top 3 or 4 teams are better than the rest, but not by much. It entirely depends on how your league scores Defenses. To get your up to the minute stats and opinions, check out the NFL website and The Sporting News Fantasy Football Guide. I have used them for years, and that is where the above stats come from. Remember, waiting is the key for Team D.

Football - The Denver Broncos

Located in the mile high city of Denver, CO, the Denver Broncos are one of the NFL's most successful football franchises. They began play in 1960 as an original member of the old AFL and became part of the NFL when the two leagues merged. This storied football team is a member of the AFC Western Division and has been a part of 6 Super Bowls during this time, winning 2 of them. Let's take a brief look at the history of the Denver Broncos football team.

Success wasn't always with the Broncos. During their first 13 years, the team never had a winning record. Then beginning in the late 70s this football team began a run of Super Bowl appearances. Although their first 4 Super Bowls resulted in lopsided defeats, they were able to win back-to-back Super Bowls in 1997 and 98. The team continues to this day to be among the NFL's elite.

Playing their football games in Mile High Stadium, the team had a distinct home field advantage. Mile High Stadium was the loudest stadium in all of football with good reason. The flooring was made of steel instead of concrete. The sound was deafening to opposing players and coaches. And with their nicknamed "Orange Crush" defense, it's little wonder why this team was so dominant. Mile High Stadium lasted from 1960 until 2000 and was then replaced by the new Invesco Field at Mile High.

Although Denver had begin to experience a little success in the late 70s, it wasn't until 1983 when they truly became a powerful organization with the arrival of the great John Elway at quarterback. Under his leadership the team went on to 5 Super Bowls. As talented as John Elway was in football, he was also drafted at the same time by the New York Yankees to play baseball. John made the decision to stick with football and the rest is history.

Hall of Fame

The Broncos have only 3 football Hall of Fame players. The first one was Willie Brown, who played with the team from 1963-66 at CB. Next is Tony Dorsett, who played his only season with the team in 1988. Finally, there is John Elway, who played from 1983-1998.

Other very good football players for the Broncos over the years include: Gene Mingo (the first African-American kicker in the NFL in 1960) Floyd Little Lionel Taylor Rich Jackson Charley Johnson Frank Tripucka Paul Smith Billy Thompson Craig Morton Jim Turner Haven Moses Tom Jackson Randy Gradishar Louis Wright Dennis Smith Steve Atwater Karl Mecklenburg Gary Zimmerman Terrell Davis Shannon Sharpe Jason Elam

Mike Shanahan, who has also guided the team to their 2 Super Bowl wins, coaches the Broncos. The Denver football team is also known for their prolific running backs, including two who surpassed the 1,000 yard mark in the same season.

With another strong draft in 2006, the Denver Broncos should continue to experience success in the NFL for years to come. Cheered on by a fan base that is among the most loyal in all of football, this team has come to expect this success, year after year.

The Balanced Line Single Wing Offense for Youth Football

Most youth football teams that run the Single Wing Offense run it out of the traditional unbalanced line set.

Many coaches have asked me about using the Balanced Line Single Wing Offense in youth football. For most coaches, they ask because they have "Special Rules" in their Youth Football Leagues that require them to use balanced line formations. From 2-3% of youth football leagues have rules like this.

It is very simple to modify the Unbalanced Line Single Wing Offense to a balanced line set. While most High Schools that run the Single Wing Offense do stick to the unbalanced set, a number of them do have a balanced line set or two as well.

Menominee Michigan High School runs nearly its entire Single Wing Offense out of a balanced line set. Menominee won yet another State Title last year as well as blew out the Defending Largest Class State Champion (Wayzata- 3,400 students) of Minnesota. Menominee as most of you know, has just 550 students. It's hard to argue with Menominee head coach Ken Hofer, who has over 250 wins running this offense from a balanced line set. Hofer is a legend in Single Wing circles and is an excellent clinic speaker.

Some modifications required if you run the Single Wing Offense from a Balanced Line Set:

The midpoint of the offensive line is the center, you now wedge on the center. Pull the Left Guard on off-tackle runs to the right. Pull just the Right Guard (not the power tackle also) on reverse runs to the left. The Left Tackle Blocks GD, Gap-Down on traps to the left.

As you can see, moving to the balanced line is no big deal if you are required to do so. If I was forced to run this offense, those would be the changes I would make. I would make my power tackle the left guard, as he would be my second most athletic lineman.

We must all play by whatever rules the leagues think makes sense, no matter how silly they may be. Don't dwell or whine about it, just make the adjustments and make it work.
