A word about receivers:
Sometimes, you may not have any boys on your squad that seem to be able to catch the football. Teach them to look the ball in, to protect it, and to run precise patterns. One year when coaching the offense at the varsity level, I had a great Quarterback that later started at a Div I school as a freshman. While we had him though, we had nobody out of our bunch of potential receivers that could catch a football in a game situation.

Finally, around our 2nd game, I quietly held some tryouts after practice and found a 175lb. center from the year before that could catch the football. He became our primary receiver for the rest of the season. You had to time him with an egg timer, but when you threw it at him, he caught it. My experience has been that SOMEONE on your squad may be able to catch the football, even if he doesn’t look like a receiver. You can get away with receivers that are fairly slow as long as they catch the ball. At the youth level, that should be your ultimate criteria when making your receiver selections.
