Looking for ideas on how to get the kids to watch film on hudl. Long story short, we don't have the kids come in to watch film on Saturday. The friday night game is loaded and ready to watch about 2 hours after the game. The coaches go through the film and mark it up early Saturday morning and we have them watch it on their own time. The head coach does have the kids watch about 30 clips during their lunch on Monday, but that's mostly if not all offensive clips. Since we put in all that time and effort to break down the film and mark it up with comments, etc. we want the kids to watch it! (don't ask why the HC does not have the kids come in on Saturday). So the defensive staff is trying to come up with ideas/incentives to get the kids to watch film (ours and upcoming opponent).
Any ideas? Thanks.

First of all, during staff meetings, or in private, ask the HC why he does not bring the kids in on Saturday? He may have a reason. That should be your first priority. Show him the benefits of the kids watching film on Saturday (immediate feedback-both positive and negative). That way, the coach and the kids see that everyone is on "the same page".

instead of having them watch the whole film you can create personal playlists...a positive playlist and an "improvement" list. Put notes on there and be specific. That way they are much more likely to watch the film and since you wont be there to watch it with them it will be more focused. I would do the same with the scout film, cut it down to their major looks or blitzes for your offensive players or their major plays and formations for your D.

We do not bring kids in on Saturday either.
We meet as a staff on Sunday at 4:30 PM. From Friday until SUnday here is what we do:
1. Each coach has a group (OL/DL/WR/QB..). He goes through each group and hi-lights plays with comments. He also shares his grades with the group and individually too.
2. Opponent - Position coach goes through the opponent with the players and reviews important info (defensive fronts, stunts, coverages). We hi-light them.
3. Players have to have logged on over the weekend. If not he runs.
It worked well for us. Had the 2nd best season in our schools history. Double digit wins, district title, regional title and 6 inches from playing in the state finals. Players bought into it and so did the coaches.

No Saturdays here either. We watch film as a team on Monday, after lifting and before we go outside and install the game plan.

We have done saturday mornings for a while. Has anyone brought the kids in on Sunday evenings? Thought about doing this for a few reasons: give coaches more time to evaluate film, grade positions, create better cut ups and also to have jv walk though on Sunday evenings (we play jv on Monday). Also looking at making Saturday shorter in the office for the coaches. Right now we do 7 till around 2 with kids there from 930-11 and then coaches meet again Sunday from 7p till about 830 or 9. Was thinking about coaches doing 7-11 on Saturday to evaluate and input data from our game (we have to do a better job of self scout). And also to input all the data for our next opponent. Then coaches coming back Sunday to finalize game plan, practice plan and scout cards before the kids come in. Before Sunday meeting the coaches need to have their position review and scout done. Varsity watch film while jv has walk through. Also doing morning film sessions on Wednesday and Thursday to watch the previous days practice film or cut ups from opponent. It looks like our district will be going to a 1:1 ratio of iPads for our kids. That would be huge. Our area doesn't have high speed Internet, outside the school, so our kids could download film and watch at home. I know all the positives about Saturday mornings, and I've thrown a lot of other stuff in this post, just want to take a look and make sure we are utilizing our time the best way possible. kw

So, some people complain about budget cuts, others have IPads for every student. Crazy.
If I have any recollection of Wong a teenager, Sunday evenings were when all major projects got finished (and probably started).

We play Friday night. We bring in the kids Saturday; they have about a one-hour workout and then watch the previous night's film. They kids who played in the game must stay. The other kids are welcome to stay but don't have to. JV games are Monday. The varsity players have a practice in shells; we do a ton of fundamental work on this day.

budget cuts are one of the reasons we dont come in on Saturday...admin doesnt want to open up campus and pay a janitor.

Sunday is for church, family and NFL. I dont believe in Sunday coaching meetings and certainly wouldnt expect the kids to give up family time for hs football on Sundays. I wouldnt coach on a staff that required Sunday hours.
Saturday, thats a different story. Saturday was designed for Moms to go grocery shopping and Dads to have coaching meetings.
The film session starts at 11pm-2, each coach watching and breaking it down on his own. Then Saturday at 8am serve breakfast and watch film as a team.

We don't meet Saturday either. Probably the best thing I have ever done for our program... coaches and players don't come in on Saturday, and all players are off all weekend. Coaches do all work from home on Hudl. Players watch film during the weekend. Coaches meet on Sunday afternoon.
We make all the clips etc by position for players. We created a very simple self-grading sheet and posted it on our school website and football website. On Monday morning lift the players have to turn in their self-eval to get into the weight room. If you are not a starter then you grade the guy in your spot. If they dont have a computer then we let them self eval after practice.
The grades become a pretty debated issue among players and coaches which often ends up in a film session requested by starters. We often check to see if they are logged in during the weekend.

fantom thats funny. however, thats more or less what we do by default. i know i cant sleep right away so i watch/grade film for a few hours. we want the film graded by noon saturday for the kids to start logging in anyway...so i/we get a head start most friday nights...
red, like that idea.

Coach, if I said to my wife what you said, I'd be doing the grocery shopping, and the laundry, and the dishes.

We don't meet on Saturdays either. Saturdays is our family day to take them out or a day to see former players play at next level (if there are any) or go see a college game. Sundays starts with church, then meet afterwards to game plan. During our free time on Saturdays we break down film on our own time, and come up with ideas for next week, I usually do this late at night when family is asleep so I can give my attention to them when they are awake.

Well I don't know what states you guys are from, but down here in Texas, you work Saturday and Sunday... We bring the kids in Saturday to show the game. We break up by position and watch it with position coaches.
If I wanted my kids to watch the film on their own on saturday, I would have to send them clips. The "only" thing a kid will watch is either a big hit/big play, or a cutup of "their reps". No HS kid is about to sit down and watch an entire game. It is to be 100% meaningful and relevant to them and their own little world.
Also, text them questions. "What were you reading on clip #37?" That should help get them started.
