Coaching Flag Football B&w Edition: What to Expect as a Parent Volunteer and How to Succeed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781975958398)

After over two decades of coaching youth sports, Jason is sharing some of the secrets of success. This book will take you from pre-season to post-season, helping you survive and enjoy your volunteer time. Focusing on the reason we are volunteering, our kids, you'll walk into practices and games with more confidence that you are bringing value to their time. Although this is geared toward parents who are fairly new to coaching (or new to coaching flag football) it is also relevant to coaches that were assistants but never head coaches and any coach that may have struggled coaching flag football in the past. There are drills to run during practices and a methodology for easily communicating plays to the kids. That methodology applies to the 5 on 5 that most leagues run, but can expand to other leagues as necessary. It's also flexible enough to take advantage of the flag football plays you can find with a simple Internet search. Jason also focuses on teaching defensive skills like flag pulling techniques and "staying home." We know that you want confidence in your coaching while making sure your child and their teammates are both having fun and improving. The focus of this book is to make sure both you and those players are covered. Expect answers to the following questions: What do I need to focus on in practice? What drills can I run to keep players engaged, active, and improving? How do I teach the players the plays and have them run them during the games? How do I take the millions of plays that are on the Internet and adapt them ? How do I teach my players how to defend? Effectively? What should I be doing before the games, after the games? What should I be saying to the parents? What happens after the last game?
