Hey fellas, New here first let me say love the sight. I am coaching wide outs this year and I am in it deep. I am in charge of grading my players after the game and I don't have a clue how to do that, so any forms or advice would be great. Also I am in charge of substituting my players on the field and I was wondering if you had a system for subing players. Finally I was wondering if you had any forms that you keep on the sideline during the game, and what would it entail. Thank you guys so much.

I'm a WR coach and grading is not something I had to do last year but I think I'm going to this year. I'd look for things like is the correct route run, was it a crisp break, did they get off the jam and back on the route fast enough, did they catch the ball. In blocking, did they engage the defender properly, did their guy make the tackle, did they loaf, things like that.
I didn't have a system for subing players but we really only had 4 and was spread 4 wide most of the time. However, one of the 4 wide was our TB so I kept 1 with me. They were all interchangable so if one made a mistake, I sent the other in, and coached the mistake.
I hope to get some forms made up and as soon as I do, I'll let you know.
Hope this helps.

I grade all skill players each week and there are two ways you can go. One is you grade each player on every single play. It was the way we did it in college, but it is very time consuming.
The other way is to have the kids grade themselves - which is what I do now. I give each player a copy of the call sheet from the game - which has sequential numbers (play #), formation, and play call. It also has three extra columns. One is Loaf, One is grade and one is comments. While we go thru the film, they each watch themselves - and I make copius comments. During the first few games, I verbally grade each play for them. If they loaf during the play, then they get a check mark in the Loaf column. For any thing else, they get a -2, -1, 0, 1, or 2. Great effort plays get the '2' grade. Plays just above a loaf, or where they get beaten bad, or miss alignment/assignment get a -2. Loafs get -4. At the end of the session, they total the numbers. I expect everyone to grade above zero. The top receiver every week gets a small prize. Anyone who has 2 loafs does not start the next week. The great thing about this grading system is that it allows you to equate a player who played a lot with a player who played a little. I collect the papers after grading film and I'm done. It also allows me to double check their recordings. If they want to make excuses, rather than waste my time in film, they write their excuses in the comments column. I also ask them to write any comments that I make during film. For example, if I tell a guy, we need to work that technique, I expect to see that comment recorded.
