Team went 9-1 following year.įortunately, that didn't ruin it for my son.

Ended up with a coach who thought teaching the game was more important than making these kids crash into each other. That boy ended up getting a concussion in a game because he went head first head down, missed the player and hit top of his head into the ground.
OKLAHOMA DRILL HOW TO
This dickwad coach got excited when that happened with one of those 'you got knocked the f**k out" type of noise when he should have took that boy aside and showed him how to properly tackle. The same hard hitting kid decleated two players in one play in practice but it was with the top portion of his helmet with his head fully down. I had to send coach an email about about protecting the players. I wasn't there but my wife.let's just say it didn't turn out well as my son was clearly shaken up by it. He ended up matching my son up with one of the older and hardest hitting kids on the team. That dude did the lying down "OK" drill and didn't care about matching the kids up by size.

I think they ran more than they practiced because, as boys that age do, they got silly at times and would have to run. The coach was all about yelling and forcing the boys to run as punishment. My son's first and only year of tackle football when he was 7 yrs old was a horrible experience for him and for me as a father. It was just a remarkably bad use of practice time. It's 60 people standing around doing nothing and yelling while two or three people crash into each other. This stuff was just sprinkled in sometimes. It was the whole team and coaches standing around yelling variants on "kick his and hooting and hollering.Īll the teaching, practice, and execution happened in position drills and team drills. Regarding taught versus practiced/executed, my entire experience with all of these drills was that technique had practically nothing to do with it. Here is closer to the level of "violence" their should be.Īnd here is closer, but ours was 1 RB and 2 OL vs 1 DL and 1 LB A lot closer but still not what i did or would do. This stupid ass s**t was the first video of oklahoma drill youtube search.

Wow so now i am confused as to what is considered an oklahoma drill. I went through those drills for years and technique was never once mentioned in them. According to the court, “We hold that had a duty to provide licensed athletic trainers for the purpose of rendering treatment to its student athletes … and there is a genuine issue … regarding whether breached this duty.Originally posted by PopeyeJonesing:If there's anyone who ever had technique taught to them during Oklahoma or Bull in the Ring drills, by all means, say something. Recently, Lackawanna Junior College attempted to dismiss the lawsuit, but the Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied the bid. In 2012, Resch and Feleccia sued Lackawanna Junior College, claiming that the football staff was negligent in employing two people who had failed to gain certification as athletic trainers. Feleccia, meanwhile, sustained a shoulder injury after a woman, who he thought was a college athletic trainer, told him he was fit to return to practice. While performing this drill, Resch suffered a spinal injury. The drill came under criticism during the investigation of concussion-related and traumatic brain injuries among NFL players. At the sound of the whistle, the players run at one another until one of the players is on the ground. An Oklahoma Drill has several variations, but it commonly involves two players lined up three yards opposite one another. On March 29, 2010, Feleccia and Resch were injured while participating in an Oklahoma Drill during the team’s football practice. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled on August 20, 2019, that Lackawanna Junior College had assumed a duty to care for the well-being of two of the school’s football players, Augustus Feleccia and Justin Resch.
