Beginner training plan
Your first lessonHi, I’m Coach Leonardo! During our first session, my main goal is to get to know the player, understand their skill level, and build a foundation for future growth.
We’ll start with a warm-up and basic movement drills to get loose and ready. Then we’ll go through some fundamental football skills like proper stance, footwork, catching, throwing, or hand placement — depending on the player’s position and goals.
I’ll focus on teaching proper technique while keeping the session fun, positive, and encouraging. We’ll end with a short review, talk about what went well, and set simple goals for the next lesson.
My priority is helping every athlete feel confident, improve step-by-step, and enjoy the process of learning the game. 🏈
Lesson 2-3In lessons 2 and 3, we’ll start building on the fundamentals we covered in our first session. I’ll introduce more focused drills that develop footwork, balance, and coordination while reinforcing proper technique.
Depending on the player’s goals and position, we’ll work on:
• Route running and catching for skill players
• Ball handling and agility for running backs
• Throwing mechanics and decision-making for quarterbacks
• Basic defensive positioning and tackling form for defensive players
Each session will begin with a proper warm-up and end with a short review and feedback so the player knows what to practice on their own.
My goal is to help the athlete gain confidence, improve their understanding of the game, and start performing the fundamentals with consistency and control.
Lesson 4-10By lessons 4 through 10, players will start putting everything together. We’ll move beyond basic drills and begin working on game situations, position-specific techniques, and football IQ.
Each session will focus on:
• Advanced footwork and agility to improve speed and movement.
• Position-specific skill work (throwing accuracy, catching under pressure, blocking form, tackling fundamentals).
• Situational awareness — understanding plays, reading defenses, and making smart decisions.
• Conditioning and endurance training to build strength and stamina.
• Confidence and leadership, helping players apply what they’ve learned in practice to real game situations.
