My AD called me into his office yesterday and asked what clinics I want to go to and how many coaches and where and when and could I have that by Monday because they are looking at additional cuts and he wants to cover us to some extent but he's not sure he can justify anything unless he knows by Monday what we want to go see and by the way no more music a the home games and we need 200 rosters at the gate and....
Anyway, I am looking for a list of clinics that might be available. In the SF Bay area so west coast mostly. I know about Nike, Glazier, USA Superclinic, and the NorCal All Sports. Any others that anyone can think of out here on the left side?

Coach, I know budgets are tight. i know i'm biased but the Glazier Clinic in that area is in Santa Clara Feb 12-13. Its $299 for a staff season pass. That's all your coaches (high school coaches, middle school coaches and feeder program and youth coaches can ALL get on the $299 registration. also, that pass gives you access to all 35 Glazier clinics across the country. Plus Glazier Clinic Online for everyone. Speaker schedule will be out next month. www.glazierclinics.com |

Right now I have info about Clazier, Nike, and the Norcal Clinic in SF among others. I'l be updating as info comes in and I have time. Anybody else who has clinic info should feel free to add it. Edit: Sorry, I see you've listed these already. Well, anybody else- the links are coming up. |

I dunno what your maximum mileage you'll travel is, but I've heard USC's clinic is pretty killer, too. I'm too broke to get down there on my own dime, but I might be able to talk a few of our coaches into heading down there and splitting some of the cost down. I'll be hitting up Nike COY, Glazier, and the All-Sports in Nor-Cal for sure and almost certainly Cal's clinic during spring practice, too.

I have been to USC's Nike clinic and other Nike COY Clinics. The Nike COY clinic in Dallas is good ever year! USC is good because you get HS coaches, college coaches, USC staff and you get to watch USC spring ball practice. I have heard the Glazier clinics are good, too. The glazier clinic speaker info won't be out until next month, same with Nike. I would find which clinics have coaches who run what you want to learn more about and go listen to them or programs you want to be like. Nike clinics avg. $80/coach and Glaizer is $90/coach but you can get the staff package for $299. You can go to more than one Glazier clinic for one registration fee, good deal if there are two close to where you live. I am going to Texas Tech coaches clinic/spring ball and Glazier clinic in KC and Nike in Dallas. Good Luck!

Any others that anyone can think of out here on the left side? I have always found the system-specific clinics to be much better value than the big-name, grab-bag clinics. The Wing-T event in Pennsylvania, the Double Wing symposium near Dallas, and the Single Wing conclave in Wilkes-Barre have hours and hours of info on one system, and end up going into much greater detail than the generalist clinics do -- no matter how big the names they have presenting. I know there are similar events for flexbone, split-back veer, etc. Just my $0.02 worth. |

There is a real danger of coming away with a "little bit of knowledge" at those other clinics, and we all know what the danger in that is. I have never been a huge fan of clinics simply because we all know that any concept in football is too complex to cover thoroughly in an hour lecture. I much prefer visiting a staff OR the intensive typed clinics that ted mentioned. |

General vs. specific - Yep, no contest there. Spending 2-3 days in the midst of a bunch of similar coaches, like the DW clinic I went to a couple of years ago, is a tremendous help. Anything you can question on the scheme or technical side can be answered. Problem is trying to find one. I've heard of the flexbone clinic, but I haven't found it yet. Problem there is I'm not likely to find a session on how to attack my offense/defense as its the brotherhood and we're not going to tell on each other. If I can find a defensive session on defending the flexbone, then I might find something out that I can use as I run the flexbone just a bit better.
I go to the clinics and pick the sessions I think will have some benefit to me. I figure that if I can come away with 2, maybe 3 items that can help then it's a successful session. Multiply that by 10 sessions and that's quite a few ideas that I can try. I can see how to setup/run a new program, 4-3 blitzes, how to run fast, OL drills, all in 1 spot.
So, to me, each has value and should be considered a viable option. Minor quibbles here, I enjoy both.

I am looking to attend a spring camp this year with some of the coaches from our staff. We have always done a coaching clinic but this year wants something more in depth, more than just a general overview of stuff.
How many of you have attended these spring camps?
Where did you go?
How benificial did you find it?
I am curious to see some feedback obviously it is a longer stay but at the same time I want to go somewhere that we can get a lot out of it (drills, teaching progression, system) all of that stuff.
Any thoughts or recomendations?

Depends where you are located. When I was in Wisconsin I would always go to Madison, as well as drive to Northwestern for day trips and then spend three days each at Notre Dame and Iowa State.
I was allowed to watch film.sit in on offensive staff meetings as well as individual position meetings and I was even able to get cut ups at each school.
I am know in Florida and visited Florida and have been able to get cut ups,as well as copies of their playmaker pro playbooks.
I know coaches personally at each school, and thats what enables me to get things like playbooks,and cut ups which they don't give to just any coach smith.

OK that makes sense I coach in Canada so anywhere would be a trek so distance doesn't matter so much it is expereince and information that matters.
Any advice for "coach smith" to try find something like you get to experience?

I'm actually having a local HS staff to come in next year and give an offensive clinic. They were more than happy to...Local HS teams can be a great resource.

Glazier speaker schedules will be out in two weeks or so. If you need to know now (for clinic budgets, decisions etc) let me know.
Also, all Glazier speakers do three 50-minute sessions back to back to back. So they're traditionally way more in depth. And, we've added 'select' clinics in KC, Boston, Cinci, Baltimore and Atlanta (2). Select clinics are topic specific clinics that will go in depth on the topics that are the hottest in that area. Select clinics don't take the place of the big clinics in each of those cities.

Of the over 40 clinics I participated in this year (including Nike and Glazier), I would have to say that the GTM/Northwest Clinic in Seattle was the best all-around based on feedback from attending coaches. www.allsportsschool.com/ Next year's dates are 2/11 - 2/14 in Seattle. This might be a good one for Canadian coaches? |

I am curious to see some feedback obviously it is a longer stay but at the same time I want to go somewhere that we can get a lot out of it (drills, teaching progression, system) all of that stuff. Any thoughts or recomendations? THIS, by far, is much much more beneficial for a program. If you and your staff have been to clinics together before, I would highly suggest committing a week or even just a day to visit a local University or college for Spring ball. Attend a practice, hang out at the facility, have your questions ready. It doesn't even matter WHAT they run..... You learn MORE about the game (as well as develop real, meaningful relationships that actually matter) than you could sitting through rehearsed talking points through the weekend. Watch and observe how practices are run, how they interact with players, how they recruit, how they coach....... THIS is what we need to get better at, anyway. I've spent spring/summers with Western Illinois, Illinois State, Augustana College, St.Ambrose University, Nebraska, University of Iowa, ULL, and will likely do La Tech this next year (and ALL visits were significantly cheaper and more informative than any clinic I've attended). Seriously, do you want to get better as a coach or do you want to listen to product sales pitches? |

Nike is offering two new clinics in 2010: Charlotte, NC, March 5-7, and Concord, CA, March 4-6. Any opinions on these? As Glazier also has clinics in N. CA and NC, is is probably not cost effective to attend both, so I'm wondering which would be best.

I went to the Charlotte Glazier Clinic a couple of years back and it was great. |

Glazier Clinic schedules are now available. Keep in mind, we're only about 80% complete on the schedules and we're adding speakers daily. www.glazierclinics.com/citdat.php |
