Well, today I wanna talk about something that I did recently, it’s about flag football assessments. To be honest, I’m not a pro in this area, just a regular guy who loves this game and tries to figure things out while playing it. So, here’s how my experience went.
First, I gathered all the players who were interested. Most of them are my neighbors. There were some new faces and some old buddies. It was a mix of different skill levels. I tried to take a good look at each person. Like, who’s good at catching? Who’s fast? And who seems to get the game rules well?
Then, we started with some simple drills. I observed them run, throw, and catch. I used my phone’s stopwatch to time their running. It’s pretty fun. When it came to catching, I threw the ball in different ways to see how they did. Some were great, some, well, not so much. But that’s okay, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, right?
After that, I tried to watch how they played in a game. Not a serious one, just a friendly match. I wanted to see how they used their skills when playing for real. Who can pull flags well? Who can dodge others easily? These are important things to know.
Next up, I thought about the rules. Flag football has a bunch of them, like how many steps you can take and how to pass the ball. I realized that some players knew the rules really well, while others were still learning. I made a mental note to spend more time explaining the rules next time.
Then, I started to think about defense. Defense is super important in flag football. I tried to show some basic moves, like how to stay close to the other team without getting too close. It’s a bit tricky, but it’s a key part of the game.
I also paid attention to how everyone was doing physically. Some players were super energetic, running around like crazy. Others got tired more quickly. I figured I should probably include some fitness stuff in our next practice, just to help everyone get in better shape.
- I made a list of what each player was good at and what they needed to work on.
- I also wrote down some ideas for our next practice.
At the end of the day, I felt pretty good about how things went. Sure, it wasn’t perfect, and I definitely have a lot to learn. But it was a good start. And most importantly, everyone had fun, which is what really matters.
What I learned from this experience?
Well, it’s not just about how well someone can play. It’s also about understanding the game, being a good team player, and just enjoying yourself. And for me, it’s about learning how to be a better observer and a better coach. I think I’ll keep doing these assessments. It’s a great way to see how everyone’s improving and to figure out what we need to work on as a team. Plus, it’s just a fun way to spend an afternoon with friends. I hope this helps somebody who wants to try similar things. And remember, it’s all about having a good time and enjoying the game.
