Many young boys begin to love playing football from their house when they grow up seeing that their father or older brother cheering their favorite team. Others have this game and start to think to be a famous player like any football player or his football player hero. Parents should increase this desire in their kid from their youth by register them in football clubs to learn the basic drills of football game. In the following article, there are some football drills which begin with the most important one, defensive pursuit.
Then most critical drill to a successful team defense is defensive pursuit. Often a team will have some players who naturally excel at this and others who do not seem to naturally grasp the proper angles and speeds required to intercept a ball carrier. This disparity makes the overall team defense weak. Remember, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link!
The second one is at a walking pace and with a minimal number of with all the distractions removed. By starting at a walking pace and with only one, single offensive player (the ball carrier), I have found that even the players who are initially "lost" can begin grasp what is required of them to contribute to great team pursuit.
I start with that following youth football drill that I call "11 vs. 1: Don't Touch the One". Basically this means that beginning at a walking pace, the defense only has the one offensive ball carrier to adjust to. Without the distraction of the other offensive players, and the added complications of containment, etc. players are able to naturally determine what angles and speeds they have to take to reach the "one." Obviously the "Don't Touch the One" part means that the defensive eleven are not crush tackling the lone ball carrier. Drill Setup:
Prior to doing this drill at any speed I explain to the players the speed of the ball carrier, the player's own speed and how far away the ball carrier is, are the three factors that influence each kid's proper angle of pursuit. Then the eleven defensive players take their positions. On a snap (from a stationary/invisible center) the defensive players all take their initial penetration steps. The ball carrier then walks to and then up the sideline, while all the defensive players adjust their angles of pursuit.
Once this is mastered at a walking pace you can quickly progress to a jogging pace and ultimately a full speed pursuit. Most kids will quickly understand what the drill is trying to accomplish and so while you should not have to spend too long at a walking pace, it’s important to start there.
After knowing all these drills to be a good player from youth, you can begin by applying them with your kid to achieve their dream. They are very simple for their age and they can progress very fast with those drills.
