@custom_customs: 🏈 Got a first-time tackle football player? Here’s how to help them get ready for the season the right way: Tackle football can be intimidating for kids new to the game — especially those under 10. They’ve never heard the terminology, they don’t know the rhythm, and honestly, it can feel like a whole new world. ✅ So here’s the key: Use analogies and relate football to things they already understand. 🧠 Kids this age learn best when you connect new ideas to what’s familiar. • Teach tackling too high “don’t look like a zombie” • Teach getting low like “catching a chicken” • Teach get-offs like “popping up like toast.” • Teach driving for 5 “Like running through a wall.” Once they start to feel comfortable in pads and confident in what they’re doing, their development takes off fast. ⚡️ It’s not about turning them into All-Stars overnight — it’s about laying the foundation and making it FUN. Start small. Be patient. Build confidence. They’ll surprise you. 💪 #YouthFootball #TackleSeason #PlayerDevelopment #CoachingTips #FirstYearTackle
