First Year Youth Football Coach
Feb 12, 2022
So you're the one who is taking over the youth football team this year and like any other first time youth football coach you have no idea where to start. Below are the Top 4 things you can do to start to drastically speed up the process of being prepared to be a head football coach.
Find a Mentor
The toughest part about coaching is that it's really tough to know how to handle or do certain things unless you have a mentor or have coached under a good coach before. The vast majority of people don't get lucky enough to have been born in and grow up in a town that has a legendary football coach that they learned from. Even if you were lucky enough to have played under a great coach becoming a great coach yourself is a whole other animal.
Attend Football Clinics
The good news is there are plenty of coaches clinics you can attend, there are tons of online resources all over the place, and it isn't really difficult to shoot an email to a respected coach in your area. However, clinics are very expensive especially if you have to stay in a hotel and they are only available at a specific time and date.
Online Football Coaches Communities
Then there are the online resources but the problem with that is there is so much that you have to try to find what you are looking for and then there is no actual human to help you understand the Playbooks you just purchased. The online resources are only Playbooks. Lastly, if you choose to communicate with a coach via email or other means it's going to be difficult to set up and the meeting or meetings will have to be on their terms.
You need to know what you want to run, how to systematize it, how to teach and install it all, then you have to make it all understandable to the kids. You have to have practice plans, install guides for the kids and coaches, Playbooks, cheat sheets, scripting materials, and hand signals. The list goes on!
