Pushing hands or elbows – youth soccer training

I will break down some general ideas about preventing urination in this post. I’m going to review some of the unique tips and techniques coached by teams all over the USA. Many styles are OK while others are worthless. This will be a basic post describing how important it is to train the right hitch, especially for young children.

Coach Hakim stated “To succeed in football make sure you block and tackle better than your opponent”. From the NFL to Pop Warner, this is the key to success in football. It doesn’t matter how complex or slick your offensive system is, if your offensive linemen don’t block well, your team won’t succeed. There is always one exception, and in pop warner football, the team has the lightning-charged God-given speed of their ball carriers.

If you’re coaching young players and have the fastest player in the league, you don’t need a big block. Quickly retrieve the ball and watch as everyone runs into the end zone. Most teams are lucky to see this caliber of players once in a decade, so it’s best to prepare the team as if you’re not going to have the fastest player in the league. As teams get older and more experienced, you can train your game plans to curb that speed, but when players are young, it’s almost impossible to stop.

The old ban argument comes up every year about whether kids should be trained to block their hands or use a more old-school technique where players put their hands on their chests and stick their elbows out. I like to show it in both forms and let each child use the technique that suits them best.. If you do your job right and teach the proper three-point stance, the technique the players prefer won’t matter, and becomes a matter of personal preference.

Young kids really prefer the old school elbow style. I think it’s an improvement because it will prevent our players from catching the opponent and make it difficult for the opponent to get around him. I like to show kids holding their jersey when using the elbow method.

If players decide to use their hands when blocking, it is necessary to train them not to grab anything. I choose to train this block as a punch block by having our linen workers form a fist. Once you get going, your block instincts take over and you may hold if a defender is running around you. By getting your kids to form fists will stop the reflex, which is to grab the defender’s shirt.
