I was wondering what you guys recommend for all star practices. Since I had the best record in our division I will be the head coach for all stars. We get three days of practice at an hour and a half each and then a game next Saturday. Also I will be coaching the defense and the next best record coach has the offense. Is it best to give equal time or should I give him more time since it is a new offense to all the boys. That is the way I am leaning but would like any advice you could give me to make the practices more productive.

I ALWAYS give the offense more time. Of course, all of our drills have both an offensive and a defensive component, so we give roughly equal time to both sides of the ball through indys & group work, but team sessions are probably 80/20 or 70/30 in favor of offense. Offense is much more complicated with many more assignments to know, whereas defense is much more read & react - you don't need to spend nearly as much time in team sessions.
