Welcome to my coaching youth football video podcast on Choosing a Youth Football Quarterback for a Youth FB Team; What to Look for in a Pee Wee FB QB. This is part 6 in the Keys to Fun, Success and Winning Training New Youth Coaches Series 2021.
One of my Social Media subscriber asked me a few weeks ago, What do I look for in a youth football QB? I thought wow, that is a good question and a tough one. We have 3 weeks of practice and scrimmages to choose a QB in our youth football league season. We are usually looking at 2 to 3 players for QB and get down to 2. We already know our youth football QB Profile for our offensive schemes in Power Wing Beast Offense, Wildcat Multi Spread and the I Formation. We run more Single Wing Wildcat style offenses so not a huge issue for find a true passing QB and that's a huge miracle in youth football anyway. Our older teams we will run Spread and we look for more of a traditional QB with our Wildcat back. We may find a great passing QB once every 3 to 5 years but in 25 years coaching youth football I have seen maybe 4 passing QBs I consider great. You must DEVELOPMENT your youth football QBs.
For youth football quarterbacks, I mainly I look for a Smart, Ball Manager, that I Trust with the football. And of Course they are an good athlete. More detail….
1) Smart
2) Trustworthy
3) Football iQ
4) Good Ball manager
5) Confident
6) Competitive - they desire to win
7) Tough & Resilient
8) Ok Arm
