Thank you for this video, I am going to Coach flag football for the first time this month and I’m very excited. This video was very to the point and educational. I will definitely be using a lot of your terminology and tactics with my young team! Thanks again.

Thanks for all these videos, Coach D!

I am a first year coach for a 5th/6th 6v6 team. Our league is only allowed to practice one day per week, so we only had three practices before our first game (coming up tomorrow!) and we had a lot of new players. Here's what I managed to teach them: How to line up in ONE offensive formation. How to line up in ONE defensive formation. How to hand off the ball. How to throw a few short passes (nothing over 7 yards.)

Ideas that worked for us: Coach D's "walk the zone" drills. Coach D's advice on how the QB should hand off the ball. The wristbands. We only have four plays on our wrist band, all out of that one formation, and all highly simplified.

I just wanted to share our experience. The kids are having a great time and we're all looking forward to our first game. It's going to be chaos out there, haha.

Thank you coach! I am getting the opportunity to coach my son’s team this year and I couldn’t be more excited!

I am so greatful to find your channel.
No one vollenteered to coach flag this year in my town. Even though my son has moved up to micros i hated to hear that there was going to be no flag team this year due to them having no one to coach... so I vollenteered.
The problem is I'm a 37 year old woman who only knows enough about the game to cheer for my son. 😅
I can use all the help I can get to teach a bunch of five year Olds how to play a game I know nothing about

Coach, thank you so much for this video. Do you mind sharing a couple drills that we can use for each skill?

This video is so good I want you to take it down so my competition doesn't see it.

What football cleats do you recommend for the 5th grade age? Around here its impossible to find a good store with professionals to help you choose (only for soccer cleats).

I’m starting flag football for the first time and I get to practice at the raiders stadium tomorrow. Do you have any tips?

[bcizle]

Where can I get a good set of gold pop out flags

Why do some teammates never get get a chance to play in the game? How will they get better if they never get the chance to play?

Hello, I’ve tried teaching the players this they still don’t do it. I don’t know how to coach them this, but we got into the playoffs yesterday and lost in the whole team. There was no energy it’s like they just gave up so it was a bad ending.
