Welcome to the new episode, Choosing a Youth Football Quarterback on Coach Parker's Coaching Youth Football Tips and Talk Podcast. A Social Media Subscriber asked me a few weeks ago what do I look for in a youth football QB?  Good question and a tough one. We have 3 weeks of practice and scrimmages to choose. We are usually looking at 2 to 3 players for QB and get down to 2. We already know our QB Profile for our offensive scheme. We run more Single Wing Wildcat style offenses so not a huge issue for QB. Older teams we will run Spread and look for more of a traditional QB with our Wildcat back. May find a great QB once every few years…. You must DEVELOPMENT your youth football QBs! Mainly I look for a Smart, Ball Manager, that I Trust with the football.  More detail….

Keys to Fun, Success & Winning Part 5  Coaching through Teaching, Demonstration & Progression Coaching Special Teams – Do not forget the 3rd phase of football More at CoachParker.org and more Podcasts or Youth Football Playbooks Coaching through Teaching, Demonstration & Progression Make sure you teach not just Coach blowing ur whistle & yelling we need to block. Respect your players, not boss them around. Be Disciplined not a Tyrant. Encourage Motivate, involve, include and create and atmosphere of FUN but Win too.  Reward more and often rather than punish too many Coaches want wind sprints. This is youth football and society is changing, its not old Bear Bryant anymore To teach you must become an expert, what football info did you learn last & when? Teaching is communication. People start learn after 3 to 5 sessions.  Repeat same thing multiple times and say it a little differently each time.  Be open to answering questions, sending out info and YouTube videos – Zoom I started writing my youth football playbooks to become an expert -> teaching Coaches demonstrate the skill.  You must know football and played to be great Demo on a bag, another coach or one of your big lineman. Show them they can Break skill down into steps or Progression teaching try not to overload them Prog. Blocking Example  - Stance, Steps, Hands, Engagement, Drive, & Finish Continued reps and training – require and expect everyone to get better Test and Evaluate in Scrimmages and Games – Continuous learning Youth Football Special Teams - Key to Winning More Games Kick Off –  Onside Kicks most popular Deep kicks allow for long returns dangerous unless practice Kick to a MPP or big lineman with no hands Find a soccer player on your team to try out for kicker Practice kicks 20 reps before practice 10 to 15 yard kicks to 2nd line near sideline Accuracy over Distance Kick Return –  Hands and Speed Hands team only Do not hide MPPS here – it will cost you Trap Kick Return Assign players to block bu numbers system Watch film and find out where opponent will kick; short deep right left etc Punt –  only within your 10 or 20.   Most dangerous play in youth football Too many variables – snap, kick, return coverage, open field tackles We tend to fake punt more Rugby Punt Quick Kicks on 3rd down so opponent doesn’t put stud RB back Punt Return –  no one touch the ball but your hands guy if drops in his hands Punt block If return best hands person and only if ball drops in his hands Unless they have good punter drop two back to field the ball and let them block for each other Lost a few games to this issue fumbling PR PAT Kicks / Field Goals – Great if have kicker / Soccer player Big OLM work too – straight leg kicks Fakes work great too holder best RB back Some leagues PAT Kicks worth 2 points – make it worth it Must be 60% positive percentage to make worthwhile.  Practice Practice Reps --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coachparker/support

Youth Football Terms and Vocabulary Podcast Part 2 Coaching Youth Football Find Part 1 Line of Scrimmage – 2 Imaginary horizontal parallel lines to the goal line running across the field at the spot of the football. One line is the forward tip of the football facing toward the defense and the other line runs through the back tip of the football toward the offense. The approximate 12 to 18 inch space between the two Off & Def LOS is the Neutral Zone. Safety – This is a 2 pointplay for the Defense. The offense will end a play in the end zone either by tackle or kneeling in the end zone or a penalty by the offense. Offense will then punt from the 20. In past sometimes an offense would do this play to be Safeinstead of giving the football to the Defense so close to the goal line. Defensive Safety or Free / Strong Safety – These are Defensive backfield players. They play deep at 15 yards. They are the last line of defenders for the Defense. They will SAVEthe Defense on deep plays. Usually there are one or two Safeties; Free Safety and Strong Safety. They are usually very fast and great open field tacklers with excellent pass coverage skills. Interception – When a Defender catches the Offensive forward pass. During the interception play, the Defense can advance the football trying to score. At end of interception play the Defense retains possession and becomes Offense. Backfield – During an Offensive play, these are the four Offensive players that can be aligned behind the line of scrimmage, thus in the back. These are usually the QB, TB, WB, and FB. Quarterback – In modern football the primary offensive backfield position to receive the snap from the Center. He is the leader of the Offense, play caller, ball manager / handler and primary passer. In the past, he was the closest to the football in the backfield to pitch or handoff and in the Single Wing Offense used as a sniffer or blocking back. Running Back – Usually 2 or 3 Offensive backfield positions that can carry the football, block or receive a pass in football. Mainly he is a primary ball carrier like the TB, FB or HB. Fullback – Main blocking back. Usually big and quick. Will be one of the 3 running backs in the backfield. Does not carry the football much except on power plays and short yardage. Sometimes will run screens too. In recent times the FB has turned into a blocking back / Sniffer. Usually aligned in front of HB, TB and closer to LOS, maybe even sniffing at it. Halfback – Usually one of the two main running backs, especially if not a power running Offense.  The HB would be switched with the FB for a speedier back. Usually the 2nd best speed runner in the backfield.  In a Power I or Wishbone example, the backfield would include the TB, FB and Halfback. Maybe aligned offset from the QB next to either FB or TB. Sometimes the TB and HB are synonymous .  Tailback – premier ball carrier / RB in the Offensive backfield. Usually the deepest RB. The TB is fast and very agile. Top RB on your football team. Usually aligned directly behind the QB. Could also be called a HB synonymous sometimes.   For more info on coaching youth football tips, talk, plays and playbooks head over to CoachParker.org Check out all Coach Parker's digital youth football playbooks  Play for Fun and Winning is Funner!

This is Coach Parker's Youth Football Vocabulary Podcast Series Episode 1. In this Youth Football Vocabulary series, Coach Parker will review common and not so common football terms and give examples of how they are used within youth football coaching.  Audible – Calling a different play from initial play call at the Line of Scrimmage. You might hear the QB yell “Check, Check” to start the audible verbiage. Beast Offense – Yale Single Wing with one beast running back and 3 sniffers either right or left just behind the offensive linemen. Cadence – This is the Snap Count, Like Ready Set Go. And or the tone or rhythm or speed of the words within the snap count. Usually done to draw the defense off-sides. Chalk Talk – Usually a team meeting or Coaches meeting where plays are drawn on a black board with chalk or today most likely a white board with dry erase markers or your tablet PC.  Cloud – Defensive Secondary call for the Cornerback to cover the short underneath coverage  Zone usually in the flats. Flanker -  Offensive Running Back off the LOS lined up outside the Offensive End.   Sky – Defensive Secondary call where the free-safety and not the CB will cover an underneath flat passing coverage Zone. Skull Session – a team chalk talk meeting where O’s offense and X’s for Defense or drawn on a board or paper. The combined O and X together will look like a Skull.  Trap Play – when the offensive line allows a defensive player usually a D-lineman through and then he is blocked from the side by a pulling guard or maybe a fullback. Sometimes referred as a kick-out block too especially against a defensive end / contain player. Zone Defense – Usually refers to a Zone pass coverage vs man to man coverage. Each passing Zone defender will defend an area of the field.  For more info on coaching youth football tips, talk, plays and playbooks head over to CoachParker.org Check out all Coach Parker's digital youth football playbooks  https://coachparker.org/youth-football-playbooks-store/ Coach Parker's Coaching Playbooks eBooks Power Wing Beast Offense Playbook Pirate 62 Multi 8 Youth Football Defense Playbook Wildcat Spread Offense Playbook Coach Parker’s Youth Football Drills eBook JAWS Coaching Youth Football O-line Blocking eBook Wolfpack 7on7 Plays 8 Man Beast Offense Plays  O-line One Pager Practice Plan Wishbone Formation – Selected Youth Football Plays I Formation – Selected Youth Football Plays Power I Formation – Selected Youth Football Plays Check out all the free content at CoachParker.org with close to 400 youth football articles and and my YouTube channel with over 300 youth football coaching videos.     Join me on: http://www.facebook.com/youthfootball/ http://twitter.com/coachparker_org http://youtube.com/stephenparker https://anchor.fm/coachparker Play for Fun and Winning is Funner!

What is the Beast Formation? It is the Yale Single Wing Formation from the 1920s developed most likely by Walter Camp. Tom Flores in his Coaching Football book diagrams the Yale Single Wing. I found the Beast Formation in 1994 while doing research on football formations in the Playmaker Football Software app on the Apple Mac. I was coaching my first pee wee team and wanted something easier to teach than the Power I which we were struggling with at the time as new youth football coaches. I eventually wrote a book about the Yale Single Wing in the Power Wing Beast Offense for Youth Football. The main Beast Formation (Beast Tight) has an unbalanced offensive line with 3 sniffer blocking backs aligned behind the 3 outside offensive lineman in the formation. The Blocking Backs / Sniffers stand right behind the OL with their hands on the OLMs hips to give them a nice push off at the snap. The main Running Back / Beast Back is aligned in a shotgun just behind the A gap or strong side OG. You can also align the RB under center. This Beast Formation variation is a power running short yardage formation although many long yardage gains occur routinely. This formation is very strong in the C, D, E gaps.  For more information on the Beast Offense head over to CoachParker.org for more info.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coachparker/support
