FirstDown PlayBook Defensive Terminology
As we talk to many coaches putting together their playbook manuals for fall camp, we have been asked about how to organize a terminology section. This is important for a football coach at any level but for a youth football coach it is critical. The FirstDown PlayBook Defensive Terminology is a great example of where to start.
In order to coach well, you must communicate well. It’s impossible to communicate without a language or something that defines your terminology. This is why FirstDown PlayBook has included a six page defensive terminology section for you.
The one and a half minute video below explains how important this section is and where you can find it. If you are a youth football coach this is essential. It does not matter if you are coaching a Pop Warner defense or your version of a youth football 6-2 defense or a youth football 5-3 defense in your USA Football league, this will help you.
