I coach 4th, 5th and 6th graders. We use markers on cones. On the offensive side I write numbered holes. 2, 4 ,6, 8 on the right and 1, 3, 5 and 7 on the left. On the other side of the cones are the defensive gaps. A,B,C and D. We leave them up the 1st couple weeks, especially on walk throughs and assignment drills. The kids see them every time they line up and learn it in no time.

I’ve coached junior high and high school, but a friend asked me to assist coaching a bantom & pee-wee group… ages 6-8 some are playing for the first time. I think this is awesome. How did you do this with defense?

from the post above “I use a large back permanent marker and write the positions in the middle of the t-shirt and my hole numbering schemes on the sleeves. ” I also write the hole number under the position #. I thought it was pretty obvious from the post.
