A good American football practice, without the planning
Most young players start with flag football. Keep it moving with stations, teach flag pulling and catching first, and end with a game where everyone touches the ball.
The example below shows the shape of a beginner practice. In the app, the activities come from Takoro’s American football coaching library, with set-up, coaching points and easier or harder versions for each one.
