I’ve been coaching youth football now for 24 years from age levels 7 to 14 years of age.and I’ve seen just about every imaginable scenario a coach can go through when coaching youth football. I was also a certified High School official for about 7 years or so. I have also seen many changes through the years not only through a coaches eyes but also through a parents eyes.

I’ve been on both sides of the ball. As a coach I had the opportunity to coach as a head coach and an assistant. As a parent I have 2 sons that played both youth and high school football. Both were average players. Knowing my place as a parent AND as a coach helped me get through some difficult parenting times.

If your looking to get involved with, or currently coaching youth football, this article will give you an outline so your team can get the instruction needed to be competitive. If your reading this article as a parent I’ll let you know what’s expected of you in return for the coaches giving their voluntary time to not only coach your child but to help mold them into responsible young adults.

My philosophy on football is this. Dominate the clock and you have a better chance of success. By that I mean you need to take charge offensively. Move the ball down the field 10 yards at a time. eat up the clock. Get into the red zone and score! Defensively SHUT THEM DOWN!! It’s not new and it’s not rocket science. Coaches lose sight of this at the high school and youth football level. That’s why repetition is needed. It breeds success.

First things first. As a head coach, you have to have your whole practice, program and philosophy outlined. Usually a youth football practice is 2 hours long. It doesn’t matter how many nights or days you practice you can use the same principles as will be outlined in this article.

BEFORE you start ANY practice, as head coach, you should have a parent/coaches meeting WITH the children attending the meeting. During the meeting make sure you cover the following:

• Overview of your program
• Your Coaching Philosophy
• Introduction of coaches and their responsibilities
• Eligibility requirements
• Team rules
• Expectations for player conduct both on and off the field(including school)
• Expectations for parent conduct on and off the field
• Importance of following staff directions
• Season goals and objectives
• Training and practice routines
• Player selection (for team and starting positions)
• Contingency plans for bad weather for outdoor sports
• Keeping hydrated during hot weather
• Equipment
• Pregame and pre-practice Meals. What and when to eat.

I also have my parents sign a form saying that they understand everything that was gone over in the meeting and they understand that their involvement is as a supporter for their child AND the team. I will give you what I use in an upcoming article.

I also have the children sign an agreement. Lots of good stuff in it too. It teaches them responsibility and commitment. I’ll give you what I use in an upcoming article also.

Now we’ve set the groundwork for your practices and what’s expected of everyone involved.

This is the schedule I run for my practices. It enforces execution by repetition. It works. The schedule is as follows:

• 6:30 – 6:50 – warm up/calisthenics and 2 laps
• 6:50 – 7:35 – breakdown into stations(blocking, tackling, running etc) usually 3 stations is good. Each station lasts for 15 minutes. Don’t make groups too big as to give reps to the players at each station.
• 7:35 – 8:00 – Offensive or Defensive drills. Break down into groups and run your drills. I say Offensive or Defensive because one night I run Offensive Drills, One night Defensive Drills and one night Special Teams.
• 8:00 – 8:20 – Scrimmage. One night you scrimmage your Offense, one night Defense and one night Special Teams + Offense AND Defense.
• 8:20 – 8:30 – Warm Downs

The schedule can be modified to fit your situation. One thing you have to understand when coaching youth football. Repetition and practice results in great execution.

During your practice sessions you, as head coach, should be going around to the different stations, drills or whatever so you get to know your players and their abilities. You have final say in the decisions that are made so you best know your players AND their abilities.

Make sure ALL your players get the proper coaching. You have no idea how many times I’ve seen other coaches give up on a player because they don’t think they «have what it takes». Having what it takes isn’t the issue here. COACHING is the issue. As long as you and your coaches are doing just that, coaching, then you should see improvement in ALL of your players and that’s what one of your goals should be.

I would like to add one more thing before closing. Over 24 years of coaching youth football I have been fortunate enough to have run successful programs. I’ve had maybe 3 or 4 losing seasons. I hate to lose and I tell my players and parents that. If/when we lose we lose as a team. I NEVER show bad sportsmanship. My teams WIN and LOSE as a team. Coaches included. I am a very loud and fiery coach. If the player does something right I’m the first one there to give them praise. Same goes when they mess up. First one there to tell them it’s unacceptable. I do this for all of their on and off field behavior and commitment.

I’ve always said «Before you win as a team and become successful, you have to learn how to lose graciously as a team.»

Please keep an eye out for my upcoming articles. I will cover topics that will give you insight as to what it takes to run a successful program and to coach youth football while creating a winning and positive atmosphere.

Across the web early quarterback rankings are being released in preparation of upcoming fantasy football mock drafts. At this early stage, it’s mostly hard-core fantasy owners who are starting to create their rankings. But it’s also these owners who are likely to win their leagues year after year.

With that being said, here are some early quarterback rankings for the 2013 fantasy football season:

1. Aaron Rodgers: In all honesty, the top spot could have gone to either Rodgers or Drew Brees. But we’re going with Rodgers at this early stage because of his scrambling skills and the implications surrounding the return of Sean Payton, described below.
2. Drew Brees: Technically, Brees put up the most fantasy points in 2012. His 432 total fantasy points were slightly better than Rodgers’ 420. However, Coach Sean Payton has made it clear that in 2013 the team will return to the same smash-mouth style of football that helped propel them to a Superbowl victory. Because of this he gets edged-out by Rodgers who will likely lead a high-power passing attack once again.
3. Tom Brady: Brady has been one of the top fantasy performers for as long as I can remember and this year shouldn’t be any different. Brady was 3rd among QBs in total fantasy points in 2012, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him anywhere in the top 5 again this year.
4. Peyton Manning: It’s safe to say that Payton’s first year in Denver was a success. If there were any detractors left, Payton surely proved them wrong in 2012. In 2013 he’s looking to make the next step, and a solid WR corps should ensure he remains among the elite QBs this year.
5. Matt Ryan: Ryan put on a show in 2012 and cemented himself among the best QBs in the league. This will be his 2nd season connecting with Julio Jones and the addition of running back Steven Jackson can only help his cause.
6. Cam Newton: Since entering the league Newton has steadily produced solid individual numbers. The ongoing struggles of Carolina will only mean that Newton is slinging the ball more-often, which means you can expect top 10 numbers from Newton regardless of how the rest of the team performs.
7. Tony Romo: Romo has never turned into the elite QB that many thought he would be. But this off-season he received further backing from owner Jerry Jones when he declared the Romo will have an even bigger role in the offense in 2012. At the worst, you can expect top 10 numbers from Romo once again.
8. Colin Kaepernick: If there was ever a Cinderella story in 2012, it was Colin Kaepernick’s rise to fame as the starting 49ers quarterback. This is further proof that getting injured, even for a short time, could be very detrimental to your career as an NFL QB. Kaepernick has big expectations this year, but you can feel confident that with his mobility he will finish in the top 10.
9. Andrew Luck: Luck redefined rookie QB expectations in 2012 as he promptly stepped into the starting role and lead the Colts to the playoffs. Sophomore slumps are common among QBs, but Luck is no typical QB. He should improve on his 2012 rank as the 10th best fantasy QB.
10. Russel Wilson: Wilson was another rookie QB who stunned the fantasy world by leading his team to the playoffs (and winning). His numbers were very similar to Luck’s in 2012 and I also expect him to improve in 2013.

There is plenty of time between now and the beginning of the 2013 fantasy football season, but it never hurts to get a head-start on your competition. These QB ratings should get you started as you prepare for your fantasy football drafts.

Speed is king in all sports, but especially in Pop Warner football. If you have a player that cannot be caught, you will have a great season without having to do much coaching. If you are facing a team with great speed then you need a game plan.

How your speed matches up versus their speed will dictate how you design your defensive game plan. You have to devise a scheme to contain, or at the minimum harness, the quickest player in the opposing team.

I have become a big believer in no surprises as a coach. I believe using intense scouting, with complete reports so you have an idea of what you will be facing. A complete scouting report is your most valuable tool.

As a coach preparing the game plan for the upcoming opponent, the first inquiry a defensive coordinator must ask himself is who is the fastest player on the other team? You will set up your defensive backs and ends based on this guide. There goal is to get their speed back outside your containment defender so he can run free down the sidelines.

Your primary defensive strategy must be not to allow this to happen. You must convey to your players that they need to contain the speed running back. By using team defense, you will have your containment players force their fast running back towards the middle of field and back to where you other defenders are. You can minimize the speed advantage by forcing him to run to the middle of your defense. It sound easy, but trust me it isn’t. It is not impossible and with the right preparation you should be able to harness the speed back.

When designing your defensive scheme, line up your defensive ends and corner backs at a minimum of 4-5 yards closer to the sidelines than you would in your base set. This will make it hard to run around the ends and get to the outside freely. This helps the ends see the play as it develops. When a running back sees a defender, his instinct is to run the other way, even if it is back in traffic.

The opposing offensive coordinator rapidly gets frustrated and has to make over his game plan live while the game is in progress. Even if you have a back up plan in place, it is hard to adjust on the fly.

I have witnessed quite a few opposing coaches enter half time, yelling at his speed back, blaming the kid when he, as the coach, has no idea what is happening.

In conclusion the best way to negate speed is to make your opposition run to the middle. The other reward is you are making the speed back go where you have more defenders to help make the tackle.

If you claim to be a big fan of American football, you should know the legendary names in the sport’s history. These legendary athletes continue to be an inspiration not only to football fans but to aspiring players and athletes in general. The Pro Football Hall of Fame, selected every year by a committee in Canton Ohio, honors players and coaches who have made a special contribution to football. Knowing about the players and coaches of the past and present will give you a deeper appreciation of the sport. Below are some of the most respected payers and coaches in the history of American football.

Lance Alworth

The first AFL (American Football League) professional football player to be honored in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Lance Alworth was one of the star players of the San Diego Chargers, joining the team in 1961. He later played for the Dallas Cowboys for the last two years of his career. By the time he retired, he had caught 542 passes and rushed for a whopping 10,266 yards.

Bill Dudley

Earning the nickname «the bullet» during his college days in the University of Virginia, Bill Dudley was famed to have never missed his target. In 1942, he was invited to join the Pittsburgh Steelers and, during his first season, was named Rookie of the Year. Bill Dudley was enlisted in the armed forces during World War II but returned in 1945 just in time for football season.

George Halas

Aptly nicknamed «Mr. Everything» for his many talents, George Halas became a renowned Football player for the Chicago Bears, as well as a manager and coach for the Bears during his lifetime. Every year, football teams compete in the NFC Championship Game for the George Halas Trophy.

Vince Lombardi

One of the most famous American Football coach in the sport’s history, Vince Lombardi brought the Green Bay Packers countless of victories. Retiring as coach in 1968, he was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1971. The most sought-after prize in American Football, the Super Bowl Trophy, is named after him.

Walter Payton

Walter Payton caught the attention of important figures in pro football during his college days in Jackson State University, where he is said to have scored single handedly, 46 points in one game. During the 1975 draft, he was invited to play the first round for the Chicago Bears. IN the course of his thirteen year career, he rushed for a total of 16,276 yards, making him the most successful rusher in NFL history.

O.J. Simpson

Born in 1947, Orenthal James Jones had a successful college football career, winning the Heisman Trophy in 1968 by the largest margin ever. In 1969, he was the first player to be drafted in the NFL and became one of the best running backs in history. He was named NFL Player of the Year four times, in 1972, 1973, 1975, and 1976. O.J. Simpson retired and pursued a career as an actor and broadcaster and in 1994, was subjected to and acquitted for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and friend Ronal Goldman.

Special teams can make the difference in who goes home with the win and who suffers the loss.

Simply put the receiving teams job is to advance the kick off return as far down the field as possible. With a couple of key blocks, put the ball in the end zone. Setting up those key blocks starts with the wedge.

The wedge as we all know is a wall of players the return man screens behind hoping to find the opening that can spring him for big yards or a 6 point run back.

The kicking team sends down its rushers and wedge busters, running full speed, risking life and limb as they hurl their bodies at the players making up the wedge. Sometimes the wedge busters are successful, stopping big run backs. However there are many times they are not, allowing the big momentum changing run back. Momentum that can change the out come of the game.

How do we become more effective in busting the return teams blocking wedge? Don’t try to run over or knock down the blockers. Instead split the blockers.

Run straight at the blocker full speed, sell him on the fact you plan to run over the top of him. No matter how skilled and practiced he is, at the last moment he will be bracing for the impact. Rather than make head to head contact, split the blockers, run between them taking the best angle to the ball carrier. Not only do you reduce injury risk to yourself, you will frequently find yourself in position to make the tackle, stopping a long kick off return and staving off any momentum changing returns, like a 6 pointer.

Back in 1929, John Tate Riddell started his company armed with a vision of providing better sporting equipment to athletes. And such idea has proven to be very beneficial, not only for J.T. Riddell but for the players as well, for from this concept of his came forth the country’s foremost manufacturer of football headgear.

Removable cleat— the history of Riddell football helmets all began with a removable cleat. Said design was prepared by Riddell back when he was still the Athletic Director and at the same time head of the football coaching staff for a certain high school located in Evanston, Illinois. The year was 1922 when head coach saw the need for developing the current leather-fitted footwear for his team. With the arrival of the rainy season, such condition dictates the necessity of changing cleats and installing a longer mud cleat to adapt with said variable. This process is time consuming, not to mention that the cobbler in-charged of doing such task was also hired by a university ergo not being able to finish all footgear by game time. The invention of removable cleats was openly welcomed and such flamed a string of innovations that led to the groundwork for the history of Riddell football helmets.

Ten years after the formation of the company, Riddell pioneered the fist plastic suspension headgear. This breakthrough caught the attention of the government for it will certainly be to the advantage of the brave men in WW II. This is one of the finest points in the history of Riddell football helmets.

With protection as the main goal, it is hard to believe that helmets, rather than pads, were the last to be accepted in pro football. The former is not even mandatory in football—that is until 1939 when NFL ordered that players wear such protective headgear. Before the dawn of plastic helmets, there was leather. The players may be protected against concussions but not the heat—air can barely circulate inside.

Evolution is inevitable; same applies in the history of Riddell football helmets. RT-2 was the first helmet engineered by the company and sold to the public. Said helmet model was manufactured in 1946, a year after J.T. Riddell’s death. RT-2 was a three-pieced shell using Tenite II with cotton web suspension for the head and neck. Said suspension presents a pocket of air in between the head and the shell of the helmet. Though Riddell wasn’t able to actually see the evolution and expansion of his company, he’ll always live in every noggin he has protected, whether it’s attached to an amateur or professional football player.

Following RT-2 was RK-4. The latter resembles the shape of RT-2, though it’s shell material differs. RK-4 was manufactured utilizing a chemical called Acrilonitrile Butadiene Styrene concocted by US Rubber. The cotton webbing that was present in the RT-2 was substituted by a combo of cotton and nylon. Both models showcased the 3-loop and 6-point regular suspension.

The history of Riddell football helmets includes the models TK-5 and PAC-44. The two shared the same shell composition as that of the RK-4. The difference rests on the interior cushion. TK-5 was originally cushioned with cotton. However, it was altered to that of the interior of RK-4, which was made of cotton and nylon. As for the PAC-44, same was tagged and aimed for the youth. It featured an interior air cushion crafted out of vinyl.

From these forerunners, the company has progressed along with the game. With its ‘firsts’ like the web suspension, air cushion interior and self-contained inflation head gear to name a few, it’s really hard to picture the sports equipment scene without Riddell.

This is the history of Riddell football helmets…so far. With ingenious minds continuously formulating new ideas, it is easy to say that another touchdown is within reach.

The best way to learn any subject is to experience it firsthand. No amount of cheatsheets, checklists, buddy advice, or new ideas can replace the wisdom that comes with years of experience.

The good news is that it is possible to glean some knowledge from those that have been there before. Our science is built by standing on the shoulders of giants, and our games are the same way.

The following are tips every fantasy football pro learns through their experience.

1. Understand what type of league you are in.

The type of league is a factor in the value of a player. Brandin Cooks is a prime example; Cooks was a great pickup in dynasty leagues last year, but wasn’t more than a sleeper option in redraft leagues until this year. After gaining some experience, he’s projected as a potential stud.

2. Know your league’s roster rules.

Sure, it would have been great to have Marshawn Lynch, DeMarco Murray, and LeSean McCoy as your first three picks, but if the starting lineup can only include two running backs, a lot of points will go to waste while another position suffers. A pro always has a full roster plan in mind.

3. Vary picks based on scoring system.

Having a great quarterback is nice, but most leagues nerf their scoring capability by reducing the number of points earned from passing stats. Aaron Rodgers is worth a high draft pick at six points per TD and one point per 20 passing yards. Four per TD and one point per 30? Not so much.

The most common example is PPR (points per reception). Wide receivers gain value, and the running back rankings get shuffled. Matt Forte is a mid to low end RB1 in traditional scoring, but in a league that uses PPR, he’s a stud. One point per reception adds 100 points to his total in 2014 alone.

4. Draft safer picks early.

Not every «safe» player gets to play the season, but it’s possible to reduce the risk. Every player available early is a great player. Aside from last year, picking Adrian Peterson over Darren «Glass Man» McFadden was a no brainer to any pro. Early picks are the cornerstones of a team, and picking an injury or legal risk in the first round is unnecessary.

5. Draft for upside after starters and subs are set.

Grabbing a halfway decent starter as a second or third backup wide receiver may sound great, but it’s a terrible idea. Players can and will go down during the season. More importantly, players can and will pop in a given year. Arian Foster the year he broke out, Kelvin Benjamin last year, and Alfred Blue and Davante Adams this year are great examples of «sleepers»- players that surprised most owners and put up top end fantasy scores. The league champion will likely have one or two starters that no one expected, and unless a league uses 20 man rosters replacement level players to cover bye weeks and injuries will be readily available.

6. Never draft a kicker or defense early.

Every rule has exceptions, but think about the previous tip. Acquiring a top end kicker or defense requires a pick somewhere in the eight to tenth rounds, a good range to pick top end sleepers. Kickers vary wildly from year to year, and many pro fantasy players use a different defense each week to chase easy matchups. A «streaming defense» can outperform even top end defenses. That doesn’t mean drafting the Seahawks isn’t worth the pick, there’s just more value in waiting on a top defense.

These are just the beginning. It’s possible to write entire novels on fantasy football, and each and every rule can occasionally be broken. The key is to remember this one word: value. The best fantasy football owners find ways to generate extra value and acquire better players for a lower cost.

Take these tips, play like a pro, and win your league if you can. Good luck!

Spring is here, and with it the long awaited thaw and return of football. But before you stumble blindly into another mediocre flag football experience, check out ten ways to dominate the league this year:

1. The Pitch

If your league calls the ball dead when it hits the ground (and most do), you absolutely must take advantage of the lateral – it can turn a loss of yards into a touchdown. Every play, your players should be thinking pitch.

2. A Powerful Rush

Don’t make the mistake of using «leftover» players as rushers. Instead, use your best athletes to rush – it will pay off. A nasty rush can completely neutralize a QB and demoralizes the opposing offense.

3. Adjustments

A flexible team is a winning team. Spend time planning so you’re not trying to invent your strategy on the field. Here are some things to develop:

– A plan for an overwhelming rush (releasing blockers, quick passes, pitches)

– A plan for a team that doesn’t rush (QB sneaks, two-move routes)

– A dominant defense (zone or man, blitzes, audibles)

– A plan to handle a fast, shifty QB (extra rushers,

4. A Good Playbook

Nine times out of ten a good scheme will beat raw athleticism. You need organization and plays. If you’re not inclined (or simply don’t have time) to create an entire playbook, try a site like Flag Football Ninja.

5. Simple Rotations

If you have a big team, game-time rotation can become utter chaos. Figure out an efficient, organized way to substitute players through. Avoid team politics by spreading the talent around the rotation instead of having your «starters» out first. A backup squad with no playmakers is useless to put out on the field at almost any point in the game.

6. Defense

Defense wins championships. Generally, teams of 5 or fewer should be playing a man-to-man defense unless the field is small. A zone can work with a bigger team. Every defense will have its weak spots, but giving the QB too much time is unacceptable. So send your rushers as often as you can, and use the blitz aggressively to keep the QB on the run. Also, a zone with completely fall apart if your defenders don’t stick to their spots.

7. Timing

This, unfortunately, requires practice. But if your QB can master a handful of routes (or even a couple), throwing just as the receiver cuts, you can build a championship offense. A QB who can pair accuracy and timing can’t be stopped.

8. Rhythm

Everyone wants to huck it deep. While there is much to be said for having some long plays in your arsenal, by and large, you will fare much better with shorter, consistent plays. A relentless short game will wear down the defense much more effectively than a few long plays, and successive completions batter the opponents psyche as well.

9. Experiment early

Regardless of how good your scheme is entering the season, you will be better if you adjust after each game. Each team has its own chemistry. Building on the concept of flexibility, try as many plays and schemes as you can early in the season, but by playoff time you should have distilled down what works best for your team. After a few weeks of regular season play, you should know what works and what looked better on paper than on the field.

10. Flag Pulling

Nothing is more important in flag football than being able to pull the flag. Again, nothing is more important in flag football than being able to pull the flag. This sounds dumb, but time and time again, short dump passes turn into touchdowns because of missed pulls.

Try the following:

· Don’t Wait Flat-Footed: If you wait for the ball carrier to pass at full speed while you flail and swipe at the flags, you are setting yourself up for disaster. Instead, meet the ball carrier as early as possible, and move with the ball carrier while you pull the flags.

· Get in the Way: Most flag leagues do not allow (much) contact. That is why it can be especially helpful to stand in the way of the ball carrier while trying to pull the flag. They can’t bull you over; they have to go around. This slows them down and gives you more time to pull the flag.

· Pursuit: If everyone on your team pursues the play, you will win more games. You’ll have fewer breakaways because if one guy misses the flag, another is right there.

Follow these tips, and you’ll be on your way to your own championships.

Semi-Professional Football is considered football that men play who get paid less than livable wages. This is not really correct. In most semi-pro leagues, such as the New England Football League, it is against league rules to reimburse players in any way. Which means no one is making any money playing semi-pro football.

The first year team for the Vermont Ice Storm in the New England Football League is made up of players who love football so much that they pay to play semi-pro football. In fact, all the players on the Vermont Ice Storm has had to purchase their own football equipment, contribute a player fee (in order to make sure they don’t have to pay extra for a team uniform) and they also have to pay for traveling expenses for getting to all practices and to all away games. Over the course of a season, the financial burden can be substantial.

Professional football was developed in the 1890s in Pennsylvania when local athletic clubs Played in intense competition. Former Yale football star William «Pudge» Heffelfinger became the first-ever pro football player when he was hired by the Allegheny Athletic Association to play in a game against their rival, the Pittsburgh Athletic Club in November 1892. By 1896, the Allegheny Athletic Association was made up entirely of paid players. As football became more and more popular, local semi-pro and pro teams were organized across the country. semi-pro football was the precursor to pro football. Why did they come up with the semi-pro football name? When we look at the history of this level of football it tells us that some name was needed to differentiate this type of football from high school, college, and pro football. A few traveling players, wandering the country in search of games to play in, were paid small amounts (usually under the table) to make local, small town teams look better and win.

In the 1910s professional football proved itself a viable spectator sport with the forming of The Ohio League. Canton was the premiere team featuring the legendary decathlete and football star Jim Thorpe. Thorpe was an international star who brought football to a new level. He won a gold medal in the in the decathlon in Stockholm in 1912. Thorpe and the Canton team drew big crowds and created a market for professional football in Ohio and beyond.

At the NFL’s Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, there is reference made to the «Watertown Red and Black» football team being the «first pro football team in America. » So Watertown was the first ever paid football team. Today Watertown Red and Black is a powerful semi-pro team with a fine history behind it. It is a member of the Empire Football League with the Vermont Ice Storm being one of its opponents.

So «semi-pro» football means «amateur football» in a real sense. It is played by adults, from the ages of 18 to «whatever,» who love the game enough after their high school and/or college careers that they feel they haven’t gotten football out of their systems.

If you are entering the world of fantasy football for the first time, you are sure to wonder why it took you so long to come around. Playing fantasy football, whether for fun or real money, is a great way to enjoy one of America’s favorite sports, professional football. As a beginner, you will most likely be playing with experienced managers that already know the nuances of the game. This quick guide is designed to show how to play fantasy football for beginners, and maybe level the playing field just a little.

Picking a League Format

When you sign onto a free or real money fantasy football site, you will be asked to register. If it’s a real money site, you will also be asked to make a deposit. Free sites typically are used for league play where you draft a team and play that team in a league format for an entire season. Real money sites focus on weekly competitions where you pay the contest fee and choose your team for that specific contest only based on salary cap limitations. Regardless of which format you choose, you must take the time to understand the rules and the scoring in order to decide how to best develop your team.

Tips on Picking Players

As a beginner, you will most likely have a casual approach to picking players, preferring not to invest a great deal of time on statistical analysis. That’s fine and understandable, but you should be aware that some of your competition will use that information, which provides a bit of an advantage over those who don’t.

Tips for Picking Players in an Annual League Format

Note: standard leagues use offensive skilled position players, kickers and team defenses only. If individual defensive players are included, it is referred to as a «IDP» league. Beginners should avoid auction drafts and stick with standard «snake» drafts.

1. As you are drafting your team, pick the best available player for each specific position first before you start drafting backup players.

2. Draft a balanced team and try not to over-focus on one particular position. Also, you want to avoid drafting your favorite players unless they will truly benefit you in the scoring.

3. Look for a «scoring bias» in the scoring rules. This refers to the notion that some leagues sets scoring rules that might favor the QB a little. If so, you want a top QB. If not, you should give a little extra focus to running backs and wide receivers.

4. Pick kickers and team defenses towards the end of the draft as they seldom provided any real advantage over a full season.

5. Watch your «bye» weeks. You want to make sure both your QBs don’t have the same bye week, which would force you to the waiver wire or to lose points.

Tips for Picking Players for Weekly Contests

When playing for money, you should alter your focus. You are not drafting players, you are selecting the best group of players you can without exceeding the salary cap.

1. Find value by selecting good offensive players scheduled to play against bad defensive teams. On the other side of the coin, you should avoid offensive players going up against the best defenses.

2. You should read weather reports and try to avoid players who might be playing in rain or snow. If you selected your teams well in advance, go back and make adjustments as necessary before game time.

3. Look for streaking players who may be under-valued and avoid slumping players who may be over-valued. Don’t be afraid to play the trends.

4. Use every dime of your salary cap.

5. Never play with more money than you can afford to lose.

Every week, it is up to you to manage your team. In league formats, fellow managers are expecting you to show up and play every week to the best of your ability whether you are in first place or last. As time passes, you will better understand the objectives and will start making better decisions. At the end of the day, this is a game. Have a great time and enjoy.
