Q1: What is your best drill to teach your KO guys to escape blocks and stay in their lanes? #SpecialForcesChat

Coach_Francis Jun 2 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@dropmechanix A1 kickoff from the sideline. Have a guy on every 5yd line avoid the blocker and get back on your line. #SpecialForcesChat

canfbchat Jun 2 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1) Big Cat drill where we have 3 blockers defending a stand up bag. Once beat they go behind the 3rd blocker. #SpecialForcesChat

CoachJHancock Jun 2 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1 Have 2 defenders w/hand shields set up @ 10-15 yd increments + have KO guys avoid for the 1st 2, then wrap up Returner #SpecialForcesChat

CoachFore Jun 2 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Q2: What is your best drill to "take the ball off the K/P's foot"? #SpecialForcesChat

dropmechanix - Moderator Jun 2 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@CoachFore Thank you for the diagram! Easier to explain with a pic. #SpecialForcesChat

mvmrmain Jun 2 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@dropmechanix A1: 1st man turns, work to avoid, next has shield, work rip, last man trails bag, work ankle tackle. #SpecialForcesChat

CoachJHancock Jun 2 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: Use a landing mat, have blockers work around edge + extend out where the ball will come off the foot, landing on mat #SpecialForcesChat

canfbchat Jun 2 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2 Have the punter stand to the side of a high jump mat. Have kids jump onto the mat to block it. Teaches aim point #SpecialForcesChat

CoachFore Jun 2 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2 Using a high jumpers pit for guys to land on, giving them a target for their hands to land on. #SpecialForceschat https://t.co/wennyLvX4U

Q2: What is your best drill to "take the ball off the K/P's foot"? #SpecialForcesChat

CoachFore Jun 2 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2 Most kids will naturally jump UP; HAVE to teach them to jump OUT, at the ball. #SpecialForceschat https://t.co/wennyLvX4U

Q3: What is your best drill for teaching your Snapper accuracy? #SpecialForcesChat

mvmrmain Jun 2 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@dropmechanix A2: On the DL ring. K at 12 o'clock. Towel on the ground at 9. Player at 7, grab towel & bend to blk pt. #SpecialForcesChat

Coach_Francis Jun 2 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A2 We like to run through it. Don't leave your feet. We try to aim 3 yards in front. #SpecialForcesChat

dropmechanix - Moderator Jun 2 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@mvmrmain Great idea, thanks! #SpecialForcesChat

mvmrmain Jun 2 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@dropmechanix A3: Will be using QB throwing net. #SpecialForcesChat

canfbchat Jun 2 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3) Line up in front of the upright. Have someone stand behind it to catch it. Hit the pole at an appropriate height #SpecialForcesChat

CoachJHancock Jun 2 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3: Check out trick shot videos of snappers. Having kids try those things r actually helping their accuracy, w/in reason. #SpecialForcesChat

dropmechanix - Moderator Jun 2 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@canfbchat Great thought! #SpecialForcesChat

Q4: If you could give 1 piece of advice to a 1st time ST Coordinator, it would be...? #SpecialForcesChat

CoachJHancock Jun 2 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4: So much can go so wrong so quickly on ST's. Make sure you are prepared each and every week! #SpecialForcesChat

Coach_Francis Jun 2 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4 Make sure you have 11. Make sure you can punt. Covering kicks is more important than returning them #SpecialForcesChat

@Coach_Francis Very good advice! #SpecialForcesChat
