How much, if any, of the previous game's film do you show to your players? How much time do you spend and when do you do it? How do you split it up, Offense-Defense, Line-Backs? How important do you feel for the players to see their play from the game before? I personally feel it is very important but am interested in other's opinions. Thanks

I struggle with this too. On one hand we never watched film in HS (only 10 years ago) and we were a 10-2 ball club. On the other hand, I won't argue that it is great teaching tool. It's all about time.
I'm looking forward to updating my APEX so we can put film online for kids to access. That should be great!

We bring in the team on Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. to review Friday night's game. We will never keep them past 10:00, but we are usually done around 9:30. I have had to learn not to allow this time to become a bitch session. It is a great teaching opportunity. If we lost, we can show them little things that could have made a difference. If we won, we are always looking for ways to improve.

My HC wants me to watch as much of the film as possible during our 2 hour-ish time table. I pull about 20 plays and show these instead. These plays are based on teaching for the next games. Player attitude does effect some of the plays that I will show.
Example: We lost a tough game around the middle of the season. We played great defensively. Offensively we had 7 turnovers. Defensive players were hanging their heads Friday night and Saturday morning. I started with the option that scored a TD early in the game. After that, the tape had all of our sacks (8), 4th down stops (5), INT's (2), PBU (3), and 2 hard nosed plays. They needed a shot in the arm. My attitude reflected it too.

We have done a number of things with the film. Past... -Coaches have copy after game and review saturday on their own -Coaches meet sunday to discuss friday's game (watch) and gameplan for next opponent (watch) -Monday meeting with kids: watch entire film(we would end up rewinding certain plays 37 times instead of moving on)
Present... -Coaches have copy after game and review sat. on their own -Coaches meet sunday to discuss next opponent (develop gameplan) and talk about "fixes" from friday -Decide on a few plays (pos & neg) from friday to show on mon. -Monday show cut-ups of selected plays and go over gameplan
Future... Who knows... Maybe meet on saturday morning as a staff and with the athletes after they lift.

michwags i like the way u do it.. i'm new at HC this year, coaching kids in sweden under 17 years. dont think any other teams in our juniorleague is watching film, but we have the techincal resources to do it..
the plan for the season is they play games on sundays, we meet on mondays watch film from last game and if possible on our next opponent. i like the idea of cutups on a few plays, some good and some bad.. we also plan to give out practice plan of the following week so they now what we're gonna do.. we practice tuseday and thursday 1½-2h.
since football is'nt really big here in sweden we also plan to give em "homework" assignments, i'm trying to get my hands on gamefilm from college and make them watch it at home.. look for specific techinques, covereges, blitzes etc and maybe write a small thing on it.. basic idea is that we want the kids to see football.

We watch our film as coaches together before we start game planning our next week. Usually Sat/Sun. Make sure we are all on the same page and make sure we are all seeing what is working and what needs to be fixed. Take notes and all that. Let me also point out we have a small staff, 5 full time this past season. We watch ever snap of varsity action, if the Z's are in we stop. As the OL coach and DC I would say I have the most to watch and most input from the last weeks game. For the players we watch Mondays and the rare Sun. night. Alot of our JV' games are monday so we just have varisty and dont have to worry about scrub time film. We watch all the snaps, for the most part, as a team. But then again I would say 3 kids didn't go both ways for us and we are a small team to start, 53 players. we correct, we some times raise our voices , and we also complement the heck out of good plays and good efforts when we see them. I believe watching the film with them is the only way to correct and also to show them when stuff is working. Film is work is one of the most important things we do as a team.

can any coach supply their weekend film work , and assignments for each coach, and what days they come in, and is it beneficial to bring kids in on weekends if they dont lift,, we lift during the season before school, so we have no reason to lift on weekends.

Here's how ours works. Depending on the coach, we'll be done with Friday's film on either Friday night or Saturday. Saturday morning (usually done by 2AM) we'll get next week's opponents film. Sunday we meet as a staff, go over your positions with head coach. Talk about what we need to fix. Then we split up into offense and defense. As for the kids, being in Tuscaloosa I think it would almost be impossible to get them to the fieldhouse on Saturday. I would say 90% of our kids will be at the Alabama game. Over half of those will be working at the game. I guess we could get there at 7 AM or thereabouts. It's frowned upon for us to bring kids in on Sunday. Understandably. Plus we usually meet at 1 or 2 and that can last several hours. Since I coach QB's and just a few kids to coach. I would get done on Sundays and call them up and they came to the house and we watched the previous game, the upcoming game, and changes or new plays I think they liked that. It was more one on one time for them. I feel like they learned more and we got closer as a group. I think it was good to get them out of a fieldhouse or a practice field. For the other kids they'll watch the previous week on Monday. Usually before JV football games. We'll see the next week's opponent on Tuesday and Wednesday.
