Teaching Primary Kids American Football | Lesson 1: Throw & Catch

Teaching primary kids American football is easier than it looks. Here's the first full lesson, built around throwing and catching, that any teacher can run even if PE isn't your specialism. We're Edstart, and we coach primary PE in schools every week. In Lesson 1, coach Marcus takes a class with zero experience from "how do I even hold the ball?" to running real quarterback and wide receiver plays, and catching them. No contact, all abilities, minimal kit. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Why this works for non-sporty classes 0:08 What is JagTag? 0:27 Step 1 — Getting comfortable with the ball (the "CHANGE" game) 1:55 Step 2 — How to throw & catch 3:42 Step 3 — Running real plays (quarterback & wide receiver) 5:36 Try it in your school 🏫 FREE TASTER SESSIONS Want your class to try a session?
