Youth Football “Terms” Section

Every coach on this planet was a young coach at one point in time and every coach had to learn what the various football terms mean. They had to learn the difference in a 3 technique and a 2 technique. Terms like “pin and pull”, “scoop” and “reach” made no sense, but eventually did.

FirstDown PlayBook is very sensitive to the fact that we have football coaches at all levels using our technology. This is why we make a special effort to help all of them. Helping young inexperienced coaches is a big part of this. Building a foundation with a glossary of terms can aid that a lot.

Football coaching is just like anything else. If a person gets involved as a coach and has a bad experience because they get overwhelmed, then odds are they will not coach very long. If that same person is afforded a foundation and allowed to grow as a coach then it can be a different outcome.

This is why FirstDown PlayBook has created a Youth Football Terms section. It is an area where a beginning youth football coach can go to get some of the basic terminology that they are almost sure to come across as they coach. This will help eliminate some of the insecurity that comes with coaching for the first time.
