YOUTH FOOTBALL TRAINING CAMP DRILLS

RANKINGS
It is our goal to have fair and balanced teams each year. By distributing talent equally, games are more competitive and fun for all the players involved. In addition, it is important for teams to have capable players for each position. The ranking system is in place to give us a general idea of what positions players will be successful in and to create well rounded teams. Every position on the football team is equally important but has unique qualities that aid in being successful at the position. An accurate reading on the players ability is crucial for creating fair and balanced teams. Our ranking system is based off the numbers 1-5, with 1 being the best and 5 being the worst. Players should be ranked in comparison to the other players in their grade. Typically, rankings are as follows: RANK 1: The top 10-15% of all the players should be ranked as a 1. RANK 2: About 20% of the players should be ranked as a 2. RANK 3: About 30% of the players should be ranked as a 3 (the majority of the players should fall into this category). RANK 4: About 20% of the players should be ranked as a 4. RANK 5: About 10-15% of the players should be ranked as a 5.
