(S36) PT 3 - Stars of The Future

Kotoni Staggs has always loved being around kids, and often volunteered at the local schools in Arizona. To do a training camp, he would spend the day at a school and work from the smallest kids all the up to the biggest kids. Rotations through each age group. Now the littlies. Its like herding a bunch of tiny drunk people all in a line. What is a line? Who knows, kids don't, thats for sure. So he would get them into groups of two by patting 2 consecutive kids on the head, giving them a colour and that being their pair. He would give them all a foam ball, that looks and feels like a real football but is squishy and won't hurt. How would line the kids up along two lines and they have to pass the ball to their partner. When they catch it, they can take a step back away from each other. 

After that drill he would say that we are all learning and life is one big coaching session. We keep doing things, keep working at them till we become great. And then begin all again with the next skill. Letters, tying shoe laces, playing football.

One thing that Kalam Mekhar is passionate about is passing his love of football on to the next generation of players. In fact he usually helps with several youth football camps each spring and summer so he is no stranger to passing on his football love and skill.
Every camp starts with everyone's favorite thing, conditioning! Whether you are a hulking offensive lineman or an athletic safety, every position on the team requires good conditioning to be an effective contributor. Everyone gets to do some wind sprints! This also helps to shut the loud mouths up since they are breathing too hard to talk. As far as skill drills specific to cornerback, one very important skill is agility and the ladder drill is a great way to work on that whether you are a new player or a veteran. Finally, some good play recognition is essential for a cornerback so the players go over what to look for ahead of the snap to help predict where their receiver is going.

Nick Flint of the San Jose Saber Cats lined up all of the kids and started the camp playing red rover.  The purpose of this exercise was to allow the kids to learn physicality and determination, two values that Flint uses in every game he plays as a line backer.  Next, Flint spent the time to teach the kids how to properly tackle, in order to prevent themselves or their targets from getting injured so that they can have long careers.  Then, Flint put the large kids up against the smaller kids and told the smaller kids to get past the larger kids.  He taught them some hand techniques to be used to get past the larger, slower linemen.  Finally, Flint had the kids run secondary drills, the final aspect of the line backer's job.  He really wanted the kids to feel that they were getting a great, all around experience as a line backer in the the sport of football.

Welcome to Wild Willie's Training Camp for the Youths! We have a multitude of drills available for kids to hone their skills and be the next great cornerback in the ISFL! The main goal of this training camp is to teach humility through failure.

Cones: The cones drill is set up for children to come in and trip and fall. There are many obstacles and only a seasoned veteran such as myself could run this gauntlet while making no mistakes.
Hands: I have set up 5 JUGS machines to rapid fire balls at kids. They likely will catch none of them because I turned the speed all the way up and they will surely get hit in the face many times.
Bench Press: At the NFL combine, you need to see how many times you can bench press 225 pounds, so I'll be throwing these kids on the bench and seeing how many times they can do it! None of them will be able to do any and it will make for great content for my youtube channel.

These kids should consider themselves lucky that the Royals picked me to be in charge of their training camp. The Big Joe Reed Defensive Tackle Training Camp (BJRDTTC) only lasts for one day, but to the kids that show up it will feel like a lifetime. We will start with basic conditioning drills because I don’t care about introductions. I don’t care about any sob story or inspiration, I am there to make them better and they are there to get better. First will be 20 yard sprints and we run them until every kid beats me because if they can't beat me then they have no shot at making the big leagues. Once every kid has beat me we will move on to toughness drills starting with bull in the ring. I will be the first bull so every kid that comes at me better come strapped up because they will get put on their ass. This drill will teach them that that they need to be tough and power through the pain to achieve their goals. Lastly for the kids that make it that far I will show them footwork and hand placement drills because once your body and mind are tough, fundamentals are key to being a star defensive tackle.
