We practice very fast during the spring and fall practices and try to model ourselves after fast pace colleges. However, I have noticed that the pace drops significantly during the season since there is more team specific coaching. Do any of you notice this in your practices? Is it necessarily a bad thing?

We noticed a drop off once school started. I think our kids are just not as energetic because of all the other priorities in life. We try to go face paced but there are days when we just don't get the tempo we would like.

Gotta coach on the run. I ask my coaches to take notes as we go through practice and make corrections in Indy on the following day

Big believer in coaching on the run and teaching in the film room. Tape everything. Don't pause camera in between plays. Let the camera run, this will show the players what the pace actually looks like. I believe you have to coach tempo just like you coach up everything else.
I have even told my offense how many plays are on the script for a period. I tell them we have 20 plays to get through in inside run w/ 2 - 5 min periods ( 30 sec a play). Sometimes we are in and out of there in 8 minutes, some times 12-14min. I just tell them we can get done with practice quicker or we can cut into their evening. Usually motivates them to maintain good tempo.

We use a stopwatch and go 12-straight (scripted) plays; at two different times of practice. There is no time for talking, and we have the music so loud that you couldn't talk anyway. We film it and coach off the film. We'll get 3 plays a minute doing this.
We also do a Rapid Fire period of two scout offenses and our first team defense. Again we'll get about 16 reps in 8 minutes max. We have found we get what we emphasize, and we emphasize hustle and getting their feet set in their alignment.
We've heard over and over again from our players how it slows the game down for them, and they feel like they are better prepared.

What if you have multiple kids with a missed assignment or poor tech when trying to coach during film? If i just let the film run with no rewind things will be left out. I like the fast pace tempo stuff and still learning how to practice it, but it sounds like a fast pace tempo means you pay less attention to detail and just try to get in as many reps as you can regardless if something isn't quite right. I know this ain't right to the fullest but it seems hard to be a really fast pace team and be a attention to detail type team. Those that are attention, where other than Indy do you find the time to spend that attention to detail when you are face pace at practice trying to get so many reps in little time? Like I said like the face pace idea, just trying to learn more about it.
like the idea of multiple huddles, just wondering how would some of you handle not having enough kids to give you a look on scout team? We are running into this problem so we splits our good players into two groups. While one group is on offense running plays with some not so good players, the other goods are on defense with not so good defensive players. We found this is only way we can get a look from scout. Do others have any ideas that may help?

One thing we have done to increase pace and reps is start the offense on say the 20. Then we set up bags in a defense, say a 5-3, on the 20 and in another defense, maybe a 6-2, on the 30. The offense runs a play to the right against the first defense with the scout team holding the bags. Then the scout team runs up to the second defense and grabs the bags while the offense hustles up to the second defense without huddling and runs the same play. After the offense runs that play, then we'll turn both the offense and the bags around and run the same play except to the left and the 6-2 first then the 5-3.
We're a Wing-T team that doesn't go no-huddle, but this drill really helps our linemen especially with blocking multiple fronts and forcing them to apply their rules quickly.
