  1. Coach, to it very simple I tell my kids 5-6 and some 7's. If we run to our right we block to our left and flip it. If we run dive, I have them block man. As they get an understanding of those 2 concepts I will move on to real assignments for example double team blocks(down man on. If there is a man in front of the guard and no one in front of the center, he would have a man block and the tackle would have a down block. This is for the playside. On the offside, for our age I call man block. There is more that's an example and from there you can probably get the rest if not feel free to email me ltlacy@aol.com Thank You MAY GOD KEEP BLESSING US ALL L. T. LACY If you having success with the wishbone keep running it. To run the DW takes a lot of practice to run it correctly and that is going to take away from your execution of the wishbone. Jack Thanks, What I need now is some type of blocking scheme or Wishbone play book. I tried to look on the DW site but not applying what I see. What would be the best blocking scheme for me? I have nice size and speed for my age and they are pretty athletic. I just need the blocking edge our second game is this weekend. With one win behind us I need some help. Thanks
  2. Do any Coach have a code of conduct for parents/children to sign for printout?
  3. I agree with the other coach. I like to run a 6-2 gap defense. I have four down linemen in the a and b gaps. 2 DE's boxing to QB then ball. Mlb who plays like a safety or roverback. 2 OLB's covering TE's and c gap's. 2 CR's covering first back to their side and boxing to back, if back comes toward them hit them. Like the other coach said keep everything very simple. I believe in repeating over and over and over.
  4. Coach, I don't think the coach grabbed the child and yanked his neck off. I know I have placed a child in position. We are taking this topic way out of context. Many parents just don't like seeing their child getting discipline by someone else. If the coach choked the player out then I understand to be mad. But if it is just the placement of the child I don't see anything wrong with it. M G K B U A L. T. LACY
  5. Coach, why so much anger I have never thrown a player or hurt any of my players. Yes, I am physical with my players not abusive. All my players love and adore me. sometimes you have to break kids of their ways and build them into yours. You are saying that I have a ego or something, it's sounds like you have one wanting to compare records which I don't mind but it is not necessary. I'm proud of MY kids record and to be apart of it. For the redneck comment you must not be a Christian and you are on a Christian sports website. If I was abusive I wouldn't not have been in coaching so long and been successful not only with my kids accomplishment on and off the fields. Also because you are 6'4 245 doesn't mean a thing ask Goliath then read what Caleb said. I think you are being a bit childish but as of being afraid never I teach the bigger they are the harder tell fall. We break teams down physically then mentally. You must have issues man or just needed something to take your frustation out. I'm glad you have done it here and not on some innocent person or kid. If you have never put a kid into position briskly I would be surprise. No matter everyone do things different and kids respond differently. I have never lost a kid because of my physical nature and i never use intimidation on my kids but I do teach them to not be intimidated. Because once you are you have already lost the battle. MAY GOD KEEP BLESSING US ALL L. T. LACY I appreciate your reply, but maybe you did not read my comment clearly. I did not say there was talking in the huddle. I said he was communicating with the QB on the way back to the huddle. If I may quote from the fourth edition of coaching youth football by the american sports education program-it reads, keep in mind that as a coach you need to be a teacher first and any action that detracts from the message you are trying to convey to your players should be avoided. Calm and controlled actions and voice allow players to focus on your message rather than what your personal feelings may be. From the football coaching bible put out by the american football coaches association-Use of proper language and the ability to present your ideas has great bearing on advancement in professional life. A leader must be a communicator, and language is an important tool that we use to convey thoughts, ideas, and passion. Someone is looking up to each of us right now, emulating what we do and what we say. In other words, being a role model means that we are influencing those who look up to us with our work and actions. These are the words and thoughts of Grant Teaff (Baylor University's head football coach for 22 years). Joe Paterno states a coach is first a teacher. As a coach, you have a strong impact on the lives of the young people you deal with, second only to the influence of their families and perhaps their churches. Never lose sight of the fact that you are dealing with young people. You are a teacher, and not only do you teach techniques, you teach principles that will help players throughout their lives: discipline, camaraderie, loyalty, trust, and the other intangibles we talk about all the time. Remember that you are dealing with young, mostly teenage, men who don't really know who they are and aren't sure where they're headed. Sometimes we tell young kids, be a man, but when they look around the inner city, the "man" is the guy with the fancy car who is peddling drugs. So we can't just say things. We need to lead by example. We have to make players understand that if they work hard and do things the right way, they will be better people and will have a better chance of being happy and having successful lives. These are the principles that I choose to coach by. Therefore if you choose to coach by degradation, you are teaching your players to teach others to learn this way. The root of my original comment was that my son was grabbed in an aggressive manner by the front of his jersey and moved from one place to another. If you condone this action, you are no better than he. This is not a positive way to send a message to a child or anyone else. You are teaching this child to handle matters in a physical way. As I mentioned before, I've coached for four years in three different sports and I have never degraded nor physically touched a player in a demeaning manner. That is what builds discipline and respect and opens the avenue of communication in your players. In closing, I constantly reevaluate myself as a coach and as a human being and I believe that through this process I become a better individual altogether. Coach C Ok if you are a coach how would you feel if kids are talking going back to the huddle instead of hustling back how they are suppose to. When you are waiting to set up the next play. There are no super stars on my team just stars. If one run to the huddle all run to the huddle. I understand that I might have offended you. Sometimes it will happen. Did the coach grab and slam your child to the ground? no. How was anything I said degrading? none. It's good that you have read books but HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN THE WARROOM OR HALFTIME WITH ANY OF THE COACHES YOU MENTIONED? no. I think if your child was being beaten or harassed you would have called authorities instead of making a post. I'm very sorry that I didn't see the matter in the same way that you did. Also funny that you mentioned about being a teacher because I am one in Math. Also funny you mentioned about building kids up. I teach in Compton Ca. A place where most youth are forgotten but not by me. I coached a youth team in Compton from 9-10 thru 12-13 year olds of 25 players. None were involved in gangs, most attend Church, and all maintain good grades in which I tutor them. When they were entering Dominguez High School, they asked the A.D. if I could coach them. He said, "Yes". If you watch high school football you will here about them hopefully all positive. This is a tough world nothing comes easy I have lived it and teach it. I accept what you have said but I disagree maybe you are a millionaire and can give your child everything he wants but in my community must earn everything and I'm going to give Them LOVING DISCIPLINE just as God did for us 40 years and it wasn't called genocide. For evaluating myself, yes I do. On my current youth team there was unethical things going on in which we have a great football team but because of the issues going on I left and will not be coming back. I think you are trying to judge me instead of reading the football coaching Bible read the Holy Bible. It is about the kids and I have never forgotten and never will. Maybe the problem was I didn't put my quote up. MAY GOD KEEP BLESSING US ALL Thanks at least someone agrees LOL M G K B U A L. T. LACY

    Gap 8 Defense

    I run something very similar don't give up on the defense too soon, you must rep them at their positions and the kids will become very comfortable. I have been running this defense for many years. Two years ago with all first year players we went 3-4-1 two loses we ran something different because the Head Coach didn't believe in it. After two consecutive loses he go back and try and he saw the aggressiveness come out of the kids. The second year same defense we went 7-1 losing to an undefeated team 13-6 it was a great game. I run my defense very different, I know everyone believe in putting your weak players in the a and b gaps mainly the a gaps. Who is the closest players to the ball and QB. Exactly. Lots of times your must aggressive players and your most undiscipline players and your most discipline player are non-aggressive. I placed my most aggressive lineman in the a gaps man we caused havoc all day or they have to double and triple team them. http://www.putfile.com/ltlacy Here are some clips and if you need more help feel free to email or post me ltlacy@aol.com MAY GOD KEEP BLESSING US ALL
  8. Hello there I'm a coach who is very physical with my players. In sports you need players who are not just physically strong but mentally strong. There is a difference with yelling at and yelling for the players. I yell and grab or tug players, I always tell the parents if your child is not complaining than you shouldn't. Lot's of times parents take things personal as if it is a threat on their parenting skills because coaching are getting on their babies. My yelling is for the kids awareness to go up and be prepared for the next level or in life. This is not an easy world and if kids are not taught to be mentally strong they will falter and be followers. Many parents always said, "He wouldn't yell at his princess like that". Well she was our watergirl in a game last year and she was taking her pretty little time and walk on the field and my kids were thirsty from battle during a timeout. I told her, "IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN GET IN THE STANDS WITH YOUR MOTHER". After that she ran everytime. Now she is playing basketball and I'm yelling all the time. She was very timid at first but I have seen the aggressiveness come about, I will pull the young ladies into position and tell them in a demanding voice what they did right and wrong. Like one coach said, "It seem worse than it is". I have a open floor after practice, it's time for the kids to speak about their likes and dislikes. Another thing if we are in the huddle and someone else is talking besides QB or me. There is a problem. If a player needs help trust me you can look in their eyes. Also remember not to talk about your childs coach to them, a coach who knows his players can tell. A lot of times because I'm so loud on the field or court people feel that I'm not approachable but when they see how my players and I are, they see the love and friendship. TO ALL PARENTS AND COACHES TAKE TIME TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER IT'S ABOUT THE PLAYERS AND BUILDING THEM FOR THE FUTURE.
  9. My number 1 aggressive lb has become very timid and afraid because he has been getting hit by my other aggressive hitters, he use to be the first to make the big hit but now he would rather let the runner go around him and chase him down with his speed. He is one of the fastest players on the team also. He is 8 and I'm worrying about him getting hurt because he stops and takes the impact from the running. I encourage him to get back aggressive and become the hitter and aggressive person he is naturally. I really need help with this player. He is a great child and player. MAY GOD BLESS KEEP BLESSING US ALL L. T. LACY
