How To Increase Sprint Speed

Hey guys today im gona tell you about Sprint....................
Even the slowest person on the field can increase quickness with a little conditioning.Incorporating speed training for football into ur practices, u will increase ur teams overall quickness and dominate the competition from the first snap of the game.

Players must first have the desire to improve their speed, and as a coach u must pair them up with players that are just a little bit faster than they are this gives them attainable goals! So many times the fastest kid goes against the slowest just to show-off.This is bad coaching --ur in charge pair the kids up so this doesn't happen.Players need to be paired as equally as possible to level the playing field(or running field in our case).The players should feel that they can beat their opponent and have the motivation to do so.

Finding cheap ways to run through sprinting exercises for ur players is as easy as rummaging through ur house to find a few items. No need to buy expensive vests and equipment.

  • Pack on the pounds: Fill backpacks with sand bags a third or half full and fill the rest of the empty space with a towel to keep it from bouncing around.
  • Get an old tire, tie a rope around it about 7 feet long and fasten to ur players with a belt and have them run with the tire behind them flat on the ground(longer grass works better).
  • pair up player of equal size and have them stand face-to-face. One player is runnung the other is pushing on their shoulders for resistance and moving backwards.
Please Note: These simple drills are meant to be done in short running bursts of less than 30 yards at a time with a short rest period in between.

Football Solid Defence


As a youth football coach when you begin to plan put the dynamics of your defence together you should consider the following: Pressure, Contain, Filter, Force, and Cover. With these elements in mind and within your defensive system make sure that you have these areas or keys covered and that your players know their assignments within the keys.
Let's cover each item: Pressure- it's important that you pressure the offence into hurrying in order to take away their time and space and possibly put them in a position with your pressure that they make mistakes and as a result create turn-overs.
Contain - it's important that within this pressure that you have good contain so that they cannot get outside the pocket or the box and that everything is contained or bracketed inside. Lets face it, if you lose contain you give them the outside corner which usually results in a score.
Filter - it's important that within the Pressure and Contain that every play is filtered back inside where you have your strength and more help, its where your best tacklers are positioned.
Force - it's important that within this filtration that you have solid run support and that your players come in force, aggressive to the ball, some coaches refer to this as gang-tackling.
Finally, Cover- it's important that within the keys of your football defensive system that you have good downfield coverage.
Regardless of the front or defensive football system that you want to play these elements are the keys and your players should know their assignments within the defence.

Number of Players in Football

Hey Friends i will tell you the number of players in the game of soccer...................
The official soccer rule states that each team can enter the field with 11 Players (Including Goalkeeper).

The number of substitutes depends on the competition the match is played in, but OFFICIAL FIFA matches the number of substitutes can Range from One to Seven, with Three Substitutions Eligible For Each Of the Two Teams.

However, in friendly matches, it's often the case that both teams agree upon a set number of substitutions or simply go all-out and allow every bench player to get in the game at some point, replacing one of the first team members.
