99% Of youth football players have a dominant hand and a dominant side.

Players naturally move more comfortably towards their dominant hand side. As an experiment, run a drill where players get the ball and then make a cut either to the right or left at a point 5 yards downfield. You will find over 90% of the time the youth football player will cut to his dominant hand side.

We use this fact to our advantage on kickoffs. Since most football players are right handed and will in most cases cut to their right, we kick to the other teams right sideline. We find that even though there is little room to run in between the hash and the sidelines, most of the kick returners will still cut to their right, their dominant hand side and refuse to run left. Using this strategy we rarely have to defend more than 1/4 of the field on kickoffs.

Players that are left handed are going to feel more comfortable running to their left and right handed players are going to feel more comfortable running to their right. In the double wing offense where the offense calls for pulling both the guard and tackle to opposite sides equally in a balanced formation, it would make sense to have your left handed pulling guard and tackle on the right side (pulling left) and the righties on the left side ( pulling right).

In the Single Wing Offense, our linemen are in most cases stepping to the inside to protect the inside gaps. If you have a left handed linemen in this offense, it would be to your advantage to place him on the right side, as he would be moving left in most cases. The exception in this scheme would be the right guard who goes in both directions quite a bit. In the Single Wing playbook there are lots of football plays where the wingback either goes in motion to his left or even carries the ball to the left. Some Single Wing Teams even have football plays in their bag of tricks where the wingback throws the ball. It would be a huge advantage in this Offense if the wingback were left handed. In 2006 we had a left handed wingback; he scored 12 touchdowns and averaged nearly 10 yards per carry.

On the flip side we had a very good running back type in 2006 that was left handed as well, he started at blocking back for us and did an excellent job in our SIngle Wing Offense. If you have the 2006 game tape you will see on our spinner blocking back wedge or trap plays where he carries the ball, he invariably breaks the plays to his left. This player should have been our backup tailback, but in our playbook so many of our tailback designed plays go to the right and our run pass option play goes to the right as well. We gave this player reps at tailback, but he never felt comfortable there and could not throw the ball moving right at all so we didn't end up playing him at tailback. If your Single Wing team ever has a very dominant player that is a lefty and you want to play him at tailback, consider making your base formation unbalanced left and run your base football plays to the left.

Hugh Wyatt of double wing fame even goes so far as have the players on the left side of his line have their left foot back in their stances and their left hand down. His theory is it is much easier to pull with the above configuration.

In Coaching Youth Football, the hand dominance advantage can give your team a slight advantage when putting players into positions. Make sure the player is a fit for the position first though, as hand dominance should not be the main decision criteria.

Handwriting Without Tears - Use The Correct Approach When Teaching Left Handed Kids

In the last few years the number of left handed persons has increased dramatically. This is partly because left handed children are not forced to use the right hand for writing any more but are rather encouraged to use whichever hand the child shows a preference to. Previously a left handed child was always corrected and encouraged to use the right hand.

A left handed child cannot be taught to write using the same principles that are used to teach a right handed child. The normal and the more regular methods of teaching are more suited for a right handed child. Often a right handed person is not even aware of the problems a left handed person has to face.

Here are some of the common problems faced by a left handed child:

Push Vs Pull: When a right handed child is writing he or she is pulling the pen/pencil across the paper. This works well because we write left to right. Left handed children have to push their pen/pencil across the page. This is quite hard. This also makes the nib of the pen/pencil go deeper into the paper rather than flow smoothly.

Smudging: When a left handed child is writing on the paper his or her hand is following the pen/pencil. And this way it is easy to smudge the letters they just wrote. This can cause a real mess. The mess can be even more when a left handed person uses a proper nib in cartridge or a fountain pen.

Watch What You Write: Since we write from left to right (in majority of the languages), a right handed person can watch what they are writing as they are writing. This is often difficult for a left handed person and hence they can develop bad handwriting if not taught using the correct method and approach.

Here are some of the ways in which you can help a left handed approach:

Mindset: First and foremost never ever discourage a left handed child from using the left hand for writing.

Paper Position: Rotate the paper 45 degrees clockwise (top to the right). This way by moving the paper to the right (rather than the traditional approach of keeping it to the left) you are allowing the left handed child to view their writing as they write. This gives them confidence, makes them right faster and teaches them handwriting skills.

Pencil Position: Left handed children should hold their pencils an inch and half higher than right handed children. Encourage them to keep their wrist and hand below the writing line. If you find there is a lot of smudging then may be use a harder lead pencil like number 3 instead of a number 2 lead pencil.

Avoid Hooking: One of the main problems faced by left handed children is that they cannot see what they are writing. In order to be able to see what they are writing they tend to hook their hands above the writing line and write. This is a very difficult posture and cumbersome. Discourage them from hooking. A proper paper position and pencil position will enable them to see what they are writing. So encourage proper paper position and good pencil position and discourage hooking.

Special Products: There are special pens and pencils specifically designed for left handed persons. Make use of them and teach your children handwriting skills the correct way.

And finally Happy Handwriting to one and all...Teach kids handwriting without tears.

PHOTO: Creating a lake-side spa
These kids, all good friends from Poughquag in Dutchess County, came up to Lake Taconic State Park beach for an afternoon of fun on a perfect beach day Thursday. They used a couple of large water pails to create their own spa — complete with seaweed wraps and mud packs and snails. From left to right, Emma dumps water on Dominique, Tyler, Jenna, Kiana, Julia and Maura.
