In the world of sports, football is one of the sports that is extremely rough and would require a really strong body that can adapt to many types of physical situations. In order for the bodies of the players to become really strong, the coach would have to come up with some drills and exercises. Just to give beginner coaches an idea of some good drills, here are some youth football training exercises.

The most common and actually easiest drill to do is none other than the jump squat. Do take note that one will be running jumping a lot which means that he will have to have extremely strong legs. He will never know when he will have to jump over an opponent or suddenly start running across the field.

In order to do the jump squat, one must first acquire a squatting position wherein he squats down. After making a squat, then he would jump into the air and then bend his legs while in mid air. He has to then repeat doing this exercise and strengthen his leg muscles in the process.

The second drill that would be very beneficial to the players is known as the recovery exercise. This is the exercise that is specially designed for football and would help the player with hand balance. In a nutshell, this is training so that one will be able to balance his running and will also be able to get used to catching and passing the ball while he is sprinting.

In order to do this, the coach must first set three cones with the first one in front of the player to right, the second to the left, and the third one to the right again. The thing for the player to do here would be to run around the first cone and touch the ground there. After that, he must switch the ball to the next hand and do the same to the second cone.

The over speed drill is known to be a very hard one because it is also quite dangerous to do. In order to do this, the coach has to first find a steep hill for the players to run on. Basically, the players will be increasing their running control by trying to run down the hill without falling down.

Of course everyone knows about the dummy tackling drill. Known to be one of the most common, it is a drill wherein one would increase his overall body strength. In a nutshell, the coach has to put a few dummies on the field and let each player push his own respective dummy to a far end.

So basically, those are some of the youth football training drills that are commonly used by coaches in general. These drills are used in order to strengthen the entire body of the player and have him gain some skills as well. That way, he and the team will be able to be in tip top condition during the game and gain victory over the opponent.
