Prioritize Fundamentals For Practice

02 August 2011 - 01:56 PM

The next season is starting up in a few weeks. Like everyone else, practice time is extremely limited before games start. I'll have only 2 or 3 practices (if im lucky) in before we play a game. I'm trying to prioritize what I'm going to cover at practice.
We are a shotgun only league
ages 8-11
i expect 1/2 to 2/3 of my players to have never played any form of football before
7 players at a time
most offensive plays are running

here are some skills/fundamentals i think need to focus on, mostly in order of importance. I'm interested in second opinions.

conditioning
center to QB/RB shotgun
blocking
flag pulling
basic run offense
basic run defense
basic pass defense
punting
punt coverage
passing
receiving
basic pass offense
blitzing pass defense
