" A good coach makes better players out of good ones and often makes good players out of mediocre ones. A good coach emphasizes their abilities - enables them to make the most of their latent talents - gives them the best chance by putting the right player in the right place".
Robert Zuppke ( legondary coach )
As a coach we make our greatest contribution in the construction, planning and administering of drills. More important than what system of offense or defense you run, its how you teach your style of football.
You must be very selective in the drills that you use. They should:
1. Cover considerable ground in a short period of time.
2. Be well planned and administered.
3. Be known by name to the players so that they do not require re-explanation after the first two or three times the drill has been run.
Most drills should have a secondary movement, after an initial one.
Do not make drills too elaborate, keep them short, snappy, crisp, and positive.
The preparation for drills must be made in full detail before hitting the practice field. The coach conducting the drill should see that his drills are prepared in advance, including any necessary teaching aids, such as balls, cones, practice bags, etc. Be certain managers are informed in advance of what equipment is needed, and if no managers get to practice early to have your drills set up then you as the coach need to do so. Don't wait to set your drill area after practice has started get it ready before hand.
Basically Ther Are Five Types Of Drills:
1. Fundamental Drills - These are to teach all the skills of tackling, stance, etc.
2. Reaction Drills - Primarily for developing quickness, balance, agility. These should be included briefly in almost every practice.
3. Conditioning Drills - Once the season has begun these will be almost entirely running drills.
4. Toughening Drills - The primary purpose here is to develop and encourage the desire and ability to utilize the physical contact aspect of the game of football. These drills should be used only to the extent so as not to dull the desire for further contact.
5. Fun Drills - Used to ligthen the practice load late in the season or as amorale booster.
