Coach D, Great stuff...I purchased your coaching kit last year and I incorporate a lot of your drills into my practices. One thing I'm adding to drills like this is to focus on the ball carrier getting up field- and not dancing too much. I'm blowing the whistle on the play after 5 seconds or after flag is pulled- whichever comes first. How many yards did you gain? Too many of my kids run with the football like they are playing tag on the playground...it's not the same thing. You don't help your team at all if it takes 10 seconds for the defense to tag you (or grab your flag), but you've lost 5 yards on the play. As you know, you help your team by gaining yards. Thanks for the videos! Damon
Smart - love that idea. North and south!! I believe in cut backs and a few jukes and some players have incredible vision for the field, but mainly I teach North and South running, no dancing! Gives time for all the other defenders to swarm. Good call! 🏈🔥
I’m going to be stunning flag football and yes it does work because now I feel faster and I believe in myself and I’m not that scared to play football no more
Great Video Coach. We are really struglling on defense this year. I hope this drill will help us. But we have several new to football players, so they are very raw. They always over commit to the run leaving one side of the field completely open. Thanks for all the videos and the coaches bundle has really helped on offense.
Coach D, i'm coaching 15-17 years old. Not much running. How do I call the defenses from the sidlines? We will be using wristbands with the defenses on the bands, plus i need to be able to change up who blitzes. I would appreciate your help with this.
Give the responsibility to the players on the field. Have colors or letters that you provide and call 3 or 4 at a time for different defense looks and players blitzing. I like to say black, white, red for my 3 players in the back…then they rotate randomly as they see fit. We practice with different formations on offense and when they see specific formations I teach them to have a strategy for who blitzes or which defensive look to call. It’s all about empowering your young leaders out on the field and at that age they are more than capable.
I’ve got your back. Watch this video and grab my Defense playbook where I tell you exactly which defense to run against specific offenses: Video: Youth Flag Football Tutorial | Defense techniques That Work | Fundamentals Strategy Formations Coach ruclips.net/video/jHUy44i1Pog/видео.html Defense playbook: flagfootballwithcoachd.com/products/coach-ds-complete-coach-defense-playbook-new-and-popular
Once they see that someone has the ball they move toward the player with the ball yelling "ball, ball, ball." You want to create awareness of the ball and the player cutting up the field. Make sense?
No, they are not only allowed to move, you want them to shuffle to square up w the runner and pull the flag/both flags as they would in a real situation. 🏈🔥
I have Drill packs you can get with visuals and printouts with instructions. Check it out here: www.flagfootballwithcoachd.com/products/new-defense-drill-pack-15-proven-defense-drills

Perfect! I have a defense playlist if you want to see a bunch of defense videos. I like the Test Your D video among others. They’ll get it.

Yes this works!!
i'm kind of confused with the set up.. do the kids run in and pull the flag or stay in their spot and try n pull as he/she runs by ??
Once they see that someone has the ball they move toward the player with the ball yelling "ball, ball, ball." You want to create awareness of the ball and the player cutting up the field. Make sense?
You want everyone to run at the running back, Nd once they are about 5 feet away stop and shuffle to secure the flag
Are the defensive players stationary ?
No, they are not only allowed to move, you want them to shuffle to square up w the runner and pull the flag/both flags as they would in a real situation. 🏈🔥
Do you have a visual for this drill
I have Drill packs you can get with visuals and printouts with instructions. Check it out here: www.flagfootballwithcoachd.com/products/new-defense-drill-pack-15-proven-defense-drills
Did yall qualify for nationals this year?
Had to sit out due to shoulder surgery - back this season though!
@@CoachD sorry to hear that we only played in Houston Regional. This season we will be starting from the beginning of the season.
I shared
Seriously this stuff works
Thx! 🏈🔥
Need players to help the drill look easier to comprehend. Too much talking and not enough moving
