BLITZFB ยท BEGINNER COACH STARTER PLAN Six adaptable sessions, not a confirmed season schedule. Complete local onboarding and use local age rules and equipment requirements. 1. Throw & catch Start with short partner throws. Teach a comfortable ready position and catching with soft hands. Finish with a cooperative catching challenge. 2. Move & find space Use cones for simple starts, stops, and changes of direction. Practice finding an open passing lane in a small-sided game. 3. Flag pulling Practice approaching under control and reaching for the flag. Reinforce the local non-contact rules; stop and reset unsafe play. 4. Routes & timing Introduce a few simple routes. Rotate throwers and receivers, with short distances and plenty of repetitions. 5. Defend together Use small groups to practice spacing, watching the ball, and communicating. Rotate roles so every player learns both sides. 6. Bring it together Use short, coached scrimmages. Recognize improvement and teamwork, then help each player choose one skill to keep practicing. Session rhythm: welcome and movement; one skill; small game; positive wrap-up.
