I have seen before but could not find the posts about head coaches meeting individually with their entire staff and having the position coaches explain all drills, cues, etc....
Can anyone point me to the previous post?
Does anyone do something like this? If so, what exactly do you go over? Stance, drills, any scheme?

Can anyone point me to the previous post? Does anyone do something like this? If so, what exactly do you go over? Stance, drills, any scheme? Coach, I've done this at all 3 of the schools I've been at. When it is your turn to present, you cover everything about your position. The Coordinators will cover the scheme. The Position coaches will cover all of the fundamentals involved with their position. For example, if I was presenting D-Line, here is what I would cover: Stance (R/L) Getoffs & Hand Placement Slant Technique Stick Technique (loop) Longstick Technique Keys & Block Reaction -Base -Reach -Down Drills Something along those lines. After we presented our positions, we were open for questioning. We had to be prepared to defend/explain why we did certain things. Here are a few reasons for doing this as a staff. 1) You want to make sure that everyone is on the same page, knowing what each coach is teaching. Not that you will ever have to coach their position, but you want to make sure that everyone is using the same terminology. 2) By you giving a good, sharp, detailed presentation, it instills confidence in the other coaches. They know that you know your stuff, and it builds confidence & loyalty among your staff. 3) By making you present to your staff, it forces you to prepare yourself and organize what your believe in. Nobody wants to get up there and look like a fool in front of their staff. |

Thanks coach. You are right about everything you said. I basically want to make sure I am not forgetting about anything before I present and couldn't find the previous thread.

We meet in March as a staff and go over the offensive scheme.
We meet in April as a staff and go over the defensive scheme.
We meet in May in position coaching groups to go over skills, drills, and terminology. We first list the skills that the position requires. Secondly, we list the drills that we will use and the skills that each drill addresses. During this process we are also checking that our terminology is consistant.

We had our first clinic and let me tell you....A-maize-ing. Three different coaches presented for 30 minutes each. We covered stance, drills, form, techniques, and anything else associated with our group. Obviously 30 minutes is nowhere near enough time but we were able to get a lot of information across to our staff even though we were rolling through a bunch of it.
The best portion of each clinic was the communication of cues. We all gave cues that we use on a daily basis and it really drove each point home. In addition to speaking, we all had a drill/position manual for each coach.
Overall great experience and I can't wait until our next session in a couple weeks. Highly recommended for everyone.

michwags,
I couldn't agree with you more regarding any "in-house clinic" or extensive "staff meetings." We met several times last off-season (January through June) and throughout the summer. We made tremendous strides collectively as a staff and there's no doubt it helped us coach our positions, units, and team as a whole so much better than the previous year. We have not been able to meet as often this off-season due to assistants enrolled in Masters classes and coaching other sports. I don't feel like we've made the strides that we did last year so I'm hoping we can get together throughout the summer and improve at the rate we should be. I would recommend this process to any staff. It takes a huge commitment of time but this is football...the most demanding game ever created for players and coaches alike. That's what makes it so great.
