Training young QBs - Alice Echo-News Journal
With a handful of wide-eyed youngsters looking on, Alice coach Chris Soza breaks down the finer points of one of his program’s basic plays — Pass 708. He patiently shows the young quarterbacks how to sprint out and look at their options. At the same time, a corps of young receivers are running the same routes that the Coyotes would run if that play was called on a Friday night. However, it all begins to come together before the end of the annual Alice Coyote Quarterback/Receiver Camp. “This camp gives our potential QB's the opportunity to learn proper technique for throwing a football along with the footwork that goes with our offensive scheme,” Soza said. The groups, divided by age, covered everything from basic position drills to more team-oriented drills. “Running backs are also considered receivers so it is good to see our kids trying to develop and improve their receiving skills. The QB position is probably the most important position on the football team for obvious reasons. The 7th Alice Coyote Summer Football Camp is July 27-30. It’s for players between the fifth and ninth grades. The camp covers all aspects of football, including football fundamentals, weight room fundamentals and running fundamentals. The camp will be instructed by the Alice High School and William Adams Middle School coaches. Source: www.alicetx.com
