Football For Youngsters
#1
I come from a football crazy family. My grandfather, myself, countless cousins, and soon my sons, will be have played for the Raceland Rams. Im no stranger to football and have coached for sometime now, I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts or ideas on how to increae agility for the younger kids. I know motor skills are still being refined, but I see great potential in both of my boys. At 3 and 5, they are beyond their age in understanding basics, especially the 5 year old. He understands the difference in 2,3, and 4 techniques already, and not by my drilling him about it, he simply asked me one night, "Why is that guy standing and the other guy in a stance?"

So he obviously has a knack for the game. His coordination just isnt quite as good as I or he wants.(feels like the other kids run better than him). He is a bigger kid, at 5 he is 51" tall and 65lbs. He is ver mobil, but not extremely fast.

I dont want people to think im crazy or a bad parent, or trying to hirt my kid, bc im not. He is the one that has brought it up. Ive tried explaining to him that he is young, but he wants to "do them drills"...any ideas? We work on cones, he likes going and hitting the sleds, but other than that and wind sprints im out. Atleast for a kid his age, i dont want him hating it.
