Vital High School Skills

Hello there, TKPers!
So this week, I'm home and helping out with my dad's HS frosh/soph football team, just for funsies. They've got 3 coaches and maybe 35 guys (and not exactly an Alabama talent level). They run a wing-T offense and a pretty basic 3-5-3 defense (it's essentially a 4-3 really). As a guy who watches a lot of football and played a bit in high school, I feel like I've got a pretty good understanding of the game and most positions (especially QB and LB). My question for you all is this: what are the absolute vital skills you think all HS football players should be taught early in their careers? For any and all positions you feel comfortable with, what's one/a couple skills you would make darn sure your kids knew before their Junior year of high school? Just curious to see what other football junkies have to say.
