YOUTH FOOTBALL DRILL BOOK - Gregory Double Wing

26. Two-Point Stance(WR & DE)Purpose:• To teach the basic two-pointstance that can be used forWRs, DEs, and OLBs.• Teach what inside (towardthe ball or middle of thefield) and outside (away fromthe ball or toward thesideline) mean in footballterms.CCoaching Pointers:• Make any corrections to thehit position beforeprogressing to the two-pointstance.Set-up and Instructions:This is a position specific stance (we use it for our wide receivers anddefensive ends) and is different from the hit position. The hit position is,however, a prerequisite for teaching the two-point stance and all of theother stances as well. Line the kids up straight across from you andwalk them through the progression of getting in a proper two-pointstance. First explain that in football terms, “inside” means toward theball’s location prior to the snap and “outside” means toward thesideline. Place a ball down somewhere and ask the kids to identify theirinside and outside. Move the ball and ask them again. Next have themassume a proper hit position. From there, have them move their feettogether slightly to that they are positioned directly under the hips. Theinside foot goes forward and the outside foot back a few inches so thattheir center of gravity is directly between the two feet. From there, turnthe head to look inside at the ball.30
