Improving Your Youth Football Defense - The Punting Game
Coach Kohl from the Kohl's Kicking Camps presented three times at the Chicago Glazier Clinic and did a great job. Kicking is an area we admittedly have yet to develop a core excellence in and Coach Kohl showed us why or better yet, maybe why not. Like most youth football coaching staffs, we used some common sense, trial and error and hoped for the best. As you might expect, we had better than average results when we had good "natural" kickers and weaker results when we had average natural kickers.
Punting Goals For Youth Football
Obviously the goal of a youth coach should be to have good results with just average players and great results with better than average players and I'm firmly convinced that this a reasonable goal when it comes to the kicking game as well. I'm more firmly convinced of that now after listening to Coach Kohl and other kicking coaches this clinic season. At every clinic I went to I sat in on the kicking sessions, often they were the lightest attended sessions in the clinic.
Progression Punt Teaching
I was pleased to come to the conclusion that like any teachable football skill, the punt is best taught in a progression. Like many poorly taught football skills, many youth football coaches teach a player to perform multiple fairly difficult tasks nearly simultaneously and that certainly describes how most of us teach the punt.
The punt consists of a number of very specific and coachable tasks: the lineup, the stance, the readjustment, the catch, the grip, the ball "mold", the "drop table", the approach, the plant foot, the drop, the contact fit and lock, the extension and follow through. The youth football player can be taught every one of these concepts and we can even link them together into an integrated movement. We as coaches just have to teach each specific step and perfect each step in our kickers, one step and concept at a time.
Coach Kohl has kicking camps all over the country and has no problem if coaches want to attend and watch free of charge, those are listed on his web site. He also has two kicking DVDs that I bought and highly recommend. They can be purchased through "Championship Productions" you can find them on the web.
While coach Kohl and others aren't coming out with anything brand new, it is important to understand the intricacies of punting, the key points and how to teach it in an easy to understand progression based manner. I'm not going to spell out all of his coaching points and methods here on the blog, but we certainly plan on applying coach Kohl's concepts next season with both our punters and kickers.
The Drop Table
Two simple to understand and implement concepts is the "Drop Table" and the "Drop Angle". These are commonly agreed upon kicking terms, the drop table refer to the height the ball is kept at from the time of the catch to the time of the drop. It is an imaginary "table" that the ball should never go below. The drop angle refers to what angle you drop the ball at to your kicking foot. All the experts do agree that the drop table should never go below the waist. If the ball is constantly moved to various elevations after the catch, the ball is often thrown out in front of the kicker where he has to catch up to the ball or even tossed up rather than down if the ball height is varied with the punters stride.
Smooth and consistent is what you are looking for here, arms fully extended, the drop table never varying or going below the waist.
The Drop Angle
The drop angle is very important and very easy to correct. The drop portion, like any other progression move is isolated and practiced and coach Kohl and other kicking coaches have a plethora of drills to practice this portion of the kick. One of the key coaching points of the drop is that you want to drop the ball at 11:00 if you are right footed kicker, not in a straight line or 12:00. If you drop the football straight down and not at an angle, quite often the back tip of the ball is going to strike your shin first before it touches your foot and you get what punters call a "double hit". When you "double hit" the kick will be a short end over ender, with the ball not receiving the full force of the punters foot, ankle, leg and hips. By dropping the ball at 11:00, the back tip of the ball just misses the shin on the drop and the first contact of the ball is to the top most portion of the face of the foot, the protruding hump bone on the top of your foot "the sweet spot" for all punters.
Our goal as coaches is to make sure our players have the tools necessary so that they will maximize their potential while playing for us. For my teams this means the kicking game too. We will excel in this very important part of the game next season, I assure you.
Don't be intimidated by kicking, it is something you learn to teach just like anything else.
Remember, field postion is a key factor in developing a solid defense in youth football. While we have not had to punt very often in the last 8 seasons due to our prolific offense, we need to establish competency in it for when we do need it and for the benefit of the kickers. We aren't going to settle for mediocrity in any part of our game or just hope some natural Ray Guy Jr. type player shows up on our field for our first practice.

Top Tips For Football Betting
Football has always been a sport of great interest among most of the people of the world. There are many people who are heavily passionate about the game and love even betting on the players and teams in order to win money. Betting money in football is becoming increasingly common as people have more and more opinionated choices about their teams and players.
However, since betting is a very tricky job, there are people who have come up with strategies and methods as to determine and define what exactly the outcome of a game can be, so that people following those methods cannot go wrong with their bets and end up winning the money that they, as well as others, put on stake. Here are a few of the top tips for football betting.
If you are a beginner in the betting field, then you might as well take up the smaller games and championships where football is concerned. Do not go in for the big kill yet, because you have to have some amount of experience in order to win money even against the big rookies. What do you think makes them so good at predicting? The answer is discipline and experience.
If you start with smaller amounts of money and leagues, you will see that it will help you build your image and establish you in the betting scenario. You can place bets even online against unknown people, and see how they work out their methods and strategies. Based on everything that you gather, you can also put your ideas to work, to try and win your bets.
The best thing would be to do a little bit of research on all the teams that are taking part in the championship that you are interested in betting for. This way, you will be able to get hold of their history, records and past wins and losses. You must also read up on the players and see which player has the best record, most injuries etc. these things will help you get a fair view of the technical details of the game.
Try and look at a few matches first and see what the outcomes are. This will also give you a fair idea of how the same players and teams are playing in the current season. You must also not go outright and place all your money at stake for every match. Have some amount of discipline; otherwise you might get overconfident with time.
If you see that a team is winning consecutively for a long time, do not get excited and bet on that team, because it might end up losing the next match that you so heavily bet on for it. These are some tips to keep in mind while betting on your favorite football teams. When you are confident about your hold on the betting line, you can even go up to the bigger championships and enjoy while betting even more amounts of money.

Table Sports
Back in the olden days before the Internet and Music videos, families, friends, children, teens and adults would often get together for an evening or weekend afternoon of companionship, laughter playing the odd board game or play cards. Many occasionally played a game or two of table football, table hockey, air hockey, pool or whatever other table sport happened to be in the home. These games added fun and excitement to those boring Saturday afternoons, served as a great way of bonding between families and offered a way to level the sports playing field for those who lacked the bulk and size to play the real sports.
However, as times changed families began spending less time together and friends sought more expensive thrills outside one another's homes. Table sports seemed to become a past time that would fade into history. Now, with less money to spend on outside entertainment and with more people choosing to entertain at home, table sports such as table football and table hockey have been making a big come back and an entire new generation is rediscovering these games and just how much fun staying at home can be. Here are just a few of the table sports available that just might fit in with your family and friends interest and idea of fun.
Pool and Snooker
"Rack em up!" This phrase was and still is the call of competition in many corner pubs and bars, basements and wreck rooms around the country and around the world as competitors, friends, neighbors and even complete strangers challenged one another to the ever popular game of Pool and it's somewhat lesser known counter part Snooker. These two games, not only were fun to play but, require skill, concentration and a steady hand as opponents use a cue stick and a cue ball to hit other balls into the four corner and two side pockets of a felt covered table. This game was and is so vastly popular that local bars formed pool leagues that competed with one another and big money could be had for those skilled enough to turn professional. For most of people however, pool provided a game where families and friends could get together have a great time and not only learn the skill of the game but, geometric angles and impossible angles as well!
Table Tennis
Table tennis is often considered the table sport that started the home table sport craze of those years now past and still remains a popular game around the world today. This fast paced game also known as ping pong features a table, a net, two or four players and a ball. It is a fast paced game that creates a lot of light hearted moments as opponents send a small lightweight ball zooming over the low net in a fast paced game of control and concentration. This game comes both with it's own table or a table conversion set that allows you to set up that table tennis game on your dining room table, pool table or even in your backyard.
Table Football/Table Hockey
Table football and table hockey can really get the competitive juices flowing as you become team owner/ manager and have control of your own football or hockey team and try to score points by getting your ball into the opponents goal. The players are secured on rods which you then turn and in the case of hockey slide back and forth to control play and score your goals. Table football, also called Foosball in some areas is a fast paced game that allows adults and children of all ages to join in a game of football instead of just watching it on the television. While table hockey and it's counterpart air hockey allow for the fast paced play of an ice hockey game without the bruises and injuries.
Many table sport games come not only in the full sized games with stand alone tables but, also in smaller less expensive versions that you can sit right on your own kitchen or dining room table and enjoy hours of fun. Often times you can find a combination game set that includes not only table sports but other popular games as well such as darts, checkers, shuffle board and even ring toss. If there is one good thing about this economic recession is that people are rediscovering just how much fun staying at home can be with the variety of table sports available that fit almost any budget.
