Being a Pop Warner coach for 5 years now, I can count on one thing. At The start of every season, every kid wants to play either Quarterback, Running Back or Wide Receiver. I have never had a kid say I want to play Offensive Guard. As we all know somebody has to play on tthe O-Line.
Are Offensive Lineman More Important Than A Quarterback
Offensive line play is one of the most important positions in football at any level. Without a quality line, the Quarterback will not have the time to make the throws so the Receivers will not be making many catches. The Running Backs will not have lanes to run through. The offense won't score many points.
At The Pop Warner level you want your kid to at least have a good understanding of drive blocking. This the most basic way to block. Once kids have a good understanding of this you can move on to different blocking techniques. Now That you know how to get into a proper 3-point-stance, Here is what you do once the ball is snapped if you are playing on the offensive line.

Great article! It's important for kids to learn the value of and develop genuine respect for every position on the team. It makes them better team players no matter what position they play.
