One of the very best things you can do in the off season is attending the many different youth football clinics and camps. There are the major camps that have huge sponsors like NIKE and a variety of coaches from youth sports to college will be giving lectures. Some of these camps last over a few days and can be expensive but if you look at the itinerary and plan your days you should get a lot of information. Just remember that any of the High School and College information must be modified for the youth football level.
If you are not into the big major events the local Community Colleges and High Schools will be running some kind of clinic or camp. If you are on the board for your organization you can probably get one of the local High School coaches to come by and give your league their own private clinic.
A few of the youth football organizations are starting to run their own camps. This can be for the kids as well as the coaches and if do right can be a fundraiser as well.
It is best to check in the local papers for the camps closest to you or the internet if you don't mind traveling. I live in Illinois and there are many local camps and quite a few right over the border in Wisconsin. Try to contact the camps ahead of time so you can get a list of coaches who have attended their camp in the past so you can get a better idea on what to expect.
