I have recieved several emails about this post. It was one station at the clinic out of many. Like in everything, it is up to us as coaches to filter the proper techniques to teach our players.

Having the lineman grab the jerseys and pull them down is called defensive holding. Elbowing in the back as you move past is really a classy move as well. The point of youth football is to teach skills but more importantly to teach sportsmanship that will serve them on the field and in life as well. Keep that in mind with some of these so called tips.
