So this last week I was visiting the practices at De La Salle. It surprised me how little football type activities they do leading into August. Their primary concern is conditioning and A LOT of it. So my question to you guys is this: "What does your typical summer week look and how much of your time is focused on S&C as opposed to field time? Also, do you manage to get in speed development and if so, then where do you get that time from?"

I agree with much of it. It seems that our kids develop MORE poor habits through 7 on 7, etc. because it is NOT game like. I would prefer them to come into camp in great shape (strength, conditioning and speed) instead of coming in having played all this 7 on 7. We can teach them our schemes once they come to us during camp, but we can't teach them at that time to be bigger, faster, stronger.

Until practice starts we work out from 6-8:30 PM. Mostly that's weights, agilities, and conditioning. The football that we do is mostly assignment stuff so that we can spend more time on fundamentals rather than assignments when we start practice.

I think its going to vary depending on how long a staff/program has been in place.
With all of the guys coming back knowing a system that has been in place forever, theres really more to be gained through conditioning than anything else.
If you are however, new at a school and nobody knows the system, youll spend your summer doing that. (where its allowed)

Our staff felt that many of our losses last year were because we were slower and weaker than our opponents. So this summer has been a lot more time spent on speed/strength work than football plays. If busts/mental mistakes were prevalent last season, maybe we would spend more time on assignments. |
