Phase IV--Feedback and Assessment
Conclusion

Phase I
Propose a clinic to develop quarterbacks
How to Play Quarterback in a 7-on-7 Passing League for 11-13 year olds
QB and six receivers
No defensive rushing or quarterback running plays
Five seconds to throw the ball
The defense will key on the quarterback
Success is dependent on the ability of the quarterback
This course will teach how to use critical thinking skills to identify open areas and receivers
The target audience: Coaches: open to learning new methods and seeking to develop youth
Athletes: willing to learn, quick thinking, and decisive (preferably plays QB)
Instruction will be face to face and will total two hours
Two Goals:
1. QBs able to think on their own and diagnose defenses
1A. Coaches able to instruct QBs on this

Phase II

OBJECTIVES
Read the defense
Audience: Learners are quarterbacks and coaches.
Behavior: After receiving instruction, quarterbacks will be able to pre-snap, read the defense and know
where the open areas/receivers should be.
Conditions: The setting will be a normal 7-on-7 formation, beginning with a walk through and then full
speed.
Degree: Acceptable performance consists of the quarterback being able to pre-snap, read the defense,
and then throw passes to the open areas/receivers.

Move the safety out of position

Audience: Learners are quarterbacks and coaches.
Behavior: After receiving instruction, quarterbacks will be able to move the safety out of position,
thereby creating an open area to throw the football.
Conditions: The setting will be a normal 7-on-7 formation, beginning with a walk through and then full
speed.
Degree: Acceptable performance consists of the quarterback being able to move the safety out of
position and throw a pass to the open area of the field.

Phase II (continued)
Develop critical thinking skills
read the defense--can vary play to play
identify open areas
move the safety out of position
Instructional strategies
o direct/open-ended blend and include hands on
o powerpoint lecture to give the overview
o go outside and walk through with active participation
Activities
o problem bases as the defense changes every play
Technology
o each play will be video taped and linked to ipad for instant feedback

Phase IV: Assessments

Was the Course Successful?
Goal: To teach a QB and coach to develop and use critical thinking skills to find open areas/receivers
Objectives: 1. Pre snap; read the defense, locate and then throw to open area/receivers
2. Move the safety out of position and then throw to open area/receivers
Successful course criteria:
All attendees able to talk through objectives
QBs able to conduct a walk through with throwing to open area/reciever
Overall outcome: will be shown during games

Phase IV: Assessments (continued)

Evaluation Instrument --Questionaire
Was information presented in an easy to learn format?
If not, how could it be presented in a different, easier way to learn?
Was there sufficient or too much classroom time?
Was there sufficient or too much hands on time?
Was it realistic?
Where instructors knowledgable and friendly?
How helpful was the immediate feedback with the iPads?
What could be done to improve the instruction?

Conclusion
7-on-7 passing league is dependant on the QB

Stats show it needs to be done and can be done

Similar to previous clinics and resources are organic

If we are truly a developmental league,

we owe it to the players to develop their cognitive skills

as well as their physical skills,
in preparation for the next level.
