Hey guys small school coach here moving to a large school where two platoon takes place. I have a pretty good idea of how I would like to break up practice daily and weekly so that we can maximize our on field time. Just wondering what/ how everyone breaks up their time and days when they two platoon?

I've seen someone on here who has the starting defense lift while the offense practices, then the offense lifts while defense practices. Made sense. If you've got enough players, coaches, and space, why not 2 platoon your scout teams as well so you can have your offense and defense practicing at opposite ends of the practice field? You could probably easily get practice knocked out in under 2 hrs if you did that.
Seems like having everyone job and do a little dynamic stretching together for 5 minutes or so at the beginning of practice, then run Oklahoma drill with O vs D players to get everyone worked up before breaking up for 30-45 min or so of Indies would be good (if you have the coaches for it). Then run maybe 30-45 minutes of team at opposite ends and hit the weights (offense/scout D and defense/scout O alternating days if possible).

Do you not have enough coaches that everyone can practice at the same time? We start with team stretch, then go to Indy, then practice O team and D team on opposite ends of the field. At the end we go against eachother, certain days the D is our scout and others our O is the scout. All depends.

We do have enough coaches to practice together. To me, it would not be efficient to have multiple practices.
Let me ask this, as the Head Coach who calls the offense, how do you make time to get down to the defensive side. Even with a great d-coordinator, you still need to be present during some of that time. What have people done to help with this problem?

Here is the basics of our rough 2 and hour practice. We don't stretch just go straight to indy. 25 minutes special teams, 45-55 minutes O and D do whatever they want. Indy or walk through or whatever. Then 30 to 40 minutes the O services the D and 30 to 40 minutes the D services the O. We practice both everyday. I believe if you want the kids to remember and learn how to play an opponent it is better to do it every day than just all one day then another day.
Note on Thursday before our game we just do a game simulation walkthrough

I have the defense lifiting while the offense is practicing and vice versa. we do this on saturday and monday. we practice really hard on tuesday and wednesday. thursday we do our walk thru. saturday morning stretch as a team defense in weight room 60 minutes offense on the field for 60 min skill session. switch it around. saturdays and mondays we work on skills and watch film of other teams. |
