Advice about 2-platooning

We've got 30 players on our team (including Freshman) and we always have 6 or 7 who start both ways. During spring, summer, and two-a-days, however, we practice as a two platoon unit. We have an A and a B Offense and an A and a B defense. During the first half of practice, the A off. and def. will go Indy, mixed group, team, and then they will scrimmage each other. Then we flip it over during the second half. If you are on the A offense, then you are on the B defense and if you are on the A defense, then you are on the B offense. It's a PITA to personell all of that, but it really gets your backups and young guys more work and keeps them INVOLVED - no standing around watching. No hiding in the back chewing on mouthpieces. I hate mouthpiece chewers. I hate watchers, and I hate waiting in line. Those things don't exist at my practices. We mix that with a "NASCAR" fast-paced approach and then we get a lot done and have fun. As we get closer to the season, we make a transition to something very similar to the approaches listed above.
