Hand Placement, Weighting and Stance Tips in Youth Football
The stance is paramount in your success as a youth football coach. It sickens me to be in game 3 of the season and seeing opposing players still not in proper stances. My guess is that if the coach can’t even teach or hold his players accountable to a perfect stance, he probably isn’t coaching other aspects of the game any better.

Here is the text of an Interview I did with the Single Wing Sentinel. The Sentinel is a great resource for Single Wing coaches as it showcases High School teams around the country that are running the Single Wing Offense.
10 Questions with Dave Cisar
Single Wing Sentinel: What drew you into coaching?
Dave Cisar: When I was growing up, the game taught me lessons that I used later in life in school and business. Had the game and coaching not been there and those lessons not been taught, I doubt that I would have enjoyed the success I did in those other areas.

Most Youth Football Teams play in leagues that are governed by the prevailing HIGH SCHOOL rules of the state with a few nuances like weight limits and for some; minimum play rules. Some leagues will also have special rules pertaining to unique scoring for extra point plays or exception rules on special teams plays like automatic or “no rush” punts.
What I have yet to see is any youth football league that had any special rules when it comes to the “free blocking zone”. Unfortunately many youth coaches are unfamiliar with what the “free blocking zone” is and the rules that pertain to it.
