The first thing I would do is introduce myself and my team. I would talk about how long we have been playing football and our favorite parts of the game. Then, I would go into a more detailed explanation of what it takes to be a good football player. This would include topics such as dedication, hard work, and determination.

After explaining what it takes to be a good football player, I would then move on to demonstrating some of the basic mechanics of the game. This would include things like proper throwing technique, how to catch a ball, and how to properly tackle someone. Once again, I would stress the importance of dedication and hard work while doing these demonstrations. In a more detailed group, I would go over the mental concentration it takes to run a route perfectly, how to count the steps without looking like you're counting steps, and how to make sudden, twitchy cuts that throw the defense off balance. But most importantly, I want to teach the group of receivers how to manipulate their corners and leverage their body positions to their advantage. There are a lot of subtle nuances to the game that are often glossed over when they are young.

Finally, I would wrap up by leading the group in some light exercises and drills. This would help them to better understand how important it is to stay in shape if they want to be successful at football. At the end of the session, I would answer any questions that the kids may have and thank them for their time.

The Following takes place at a park in Dallas.


Bay Webb gives an opening speech to a crowd of children and their parents.



"Hello everyone! Welcome and thank you for coming! Really appreciate everyone coming out today, and please give a hand to everyone who helped us organize this event"
[Clapping]
"Well for starters I just want to introduce myself My name is BAY WEBB and I play FOOTBALL for the DALLAS BIRDDOGS!" 
[More Clapping]
"I have a couple of my friends here and we're here to both, teach you how to play football and be leaders "slash" role models in your communities"
[Even More Clapping]
"So today we're going to be running some football drills, stuff like catching, throwing, running with the ball, and most important SCORING"
[The kind of clapping that hurts your ears]
"But first I wanna talk to all of you about how important it was to me having someone be a good leader to me growing up, It shaped me into who I am today! And your role model could be a parent, it could be a family member, it could a celebrity a famous historical person but what's most important about that leader "slash" role model is that they help you become a functional adult and a member of our society. A good role model also tells you things like "You can be whatever you want to be if you just put your mind to it" because it's true, you really can do anything you want and as long as you try your hardest and don't give up" 
[A kid asks what makes a good football player]
"Well in my opinion something that makes someone a good football player is most importantly that they're respectful, Be respectful to your teammates, be respectful to your opponents, respectful to refs, and definitely be respectful to your coaches. That would be one, another thing that makes a good football player is their courage, football is a courageous game, you gotta be willing to do a lot of things that would be considered scary, lots of people running at you, people trying to get to one of your teammates and you gotta want to stop them. So being courageous is another, and finally, I think being determined is a big thing in being a football player, a good one, I'm from Canada where it's very rare someone gets into the DSFL, growing up I wanted to play in the DSFL so bad but I was worried it would never happen because it's super unlikely for someone playing college football in Canada to get noticed, but I was determined to play professional football and I would stop at nothing to achieve it. And that's what determination can do for you."

"Alright, let's play some football!"
[It was so loud I had to step away for a second]

We ran the kids through some practice drills that wouldn't hurt any of them hopefully cause it is 2058 and society is really (x2) soft.

They ran some wide receiver routes, Bay Webb and the crew of Dallas Birddog volunteers passed the ball to them.

Kids seem to love catching and throwing a lot so we tried to keep them engaged with drills of that nature, Route running drills, and Ladders, and we put a pad near an endzone pylon and smashed the kids with a practice blocking pad into it and it was really a more for me than it was for the kids. They loved it, you had to tell them that they scored a touchdown after you hit em into the pad though, or else they get kinda moody.

We set up some field goal drills once we finished with the catching and throwing drills. Usually, unless a child is also really into soccer this drill doesn't really go well and even that sometimes doesn't end up well but it's still super fun to kick a ball, even though I enjoy doing it in my free time.

Trust me deep down inside I'd love to suit these kids up into pads and have em do walk-through Oklahoma drills but trust me when I say this unless you're actually on a football team or planning on joining one, no one wants to touch each other. So instead we decided to try and teach them the rules and how football is played without losing everyone's interest, of course, We brought a portable projector and displayed animated football videos that explained the game, mainly cause if I tried to explain it they'd probably fall asleep. 

After that we put it to the test, Split it into eleven versus eleven and we kinda walked them through it whilst reminding them some of the rules and kinda tossing some of them out the window for fun and cause their kids...

The A Team versus the B Team is what I called them! 

And it wasn't a pretty sight to see, obviously, but we were very encouraging and supportive of everyone and the final score was 14-7 B Team, We didn't tell anyone the score but trust me we kept score. 

And the end of the day we went back to where I gave my speech and we had lunch that we provided for them.

"Alright everyone thanks so much again for coming out! Remember everything we taught you today and hopefully we were able to inspire you today into becoming a leader in your community"

The Cob Corning Cornman Cornerback Camp to Create Child Cornerback Champions (CCCCCCCCC) is an elite camp and training organization that will turn your football zero into a football hero. To keep things fun and challenging, your children will be in the thick of it from the second they step foot on camp grounds. If they're spotted holding a football, they will be tackled with no warning. This helps instill core football principals and makes sure your child is always prepared for the snap and what comes after it. If they toss a pen to their friend, that's fair game to be swatted out of the air or intercepted by any other child cornerbacks. And possession is ten tenths of the law here. All disputes are handled the way corn children settle their disputes: butter chugging contests. And they'll need those calories to offset all the hunger from all the non-stop cornerbacking. $999.99, no refunds.

Training camp in Germany: The future stars of our league or better the current hopefuls got their invite to a training camp in Germany to find out how to get the best player you can be. In the wonderful environment a few miles away from the city of Munich close to the Bavarian Alps the trainer team of the German Bundesliga club Bayern München waited for the players. The Bayern München soccer club has been on an incredible run winning the last 10 national titles and some European titles in the same time span like Champions League and such prepared a 14 day training camp for the young football players which consisted not only of physical but also mental training sessions. There were team building exercises as well as hot competitions mixed up in the schedule. Head coach Julian Nagelsmann had also one on one conversations with the football players where he shared his thoughts about the training program and gave them some advice about to handle outside critics if there are any. The whole exercise combining the German approach for the American football players was well received and after the return to the US many of the prospects talked this over with their team coaches and had some real German input in some of the training sessions going forward in their careers.
