We have purchased Goal Boards for this season. I was just wanting to know what some you have on your goal boards? Offense: Rushing Yards, Passing Yards, Score every time inside 20, etc. Defense: Special Teams: Team: WIN

Our defensive goals:
1. Win 2. Allow no offensive TDs. 3. 3 or fewer yds. per rush. 4. Fewer than 7 yds. per pass attempt. 5. No sudden-change TDs. 6. No run or pass of 20 yds. or more. 7. No drive of 12 plays or more. 8. 3 or more takeaways. 9. 3 or more lost-yardage plays. 10. At least 1 short-yardage stop. 11. Stop 75% or more 3rd and long conversions. 12.

This seems to be a frequent topic - don't want to be "negative" but we haven't used them for over 10 years. I can't remember the original source for me, although Bob Stoops mentioned them the year he won the National Championship. We only focus on the following "goals".
1. Do Your Job 2. Always give 100% 3. Be a Physical Player 4. Be a Smart Player (no penalties) 5. Run, Block, and Tackle
Each goal is totally dependent upon the individual - not the other team or the officials. Each goal can also be accomplished regardles of the players size, speed, or strength.
The statistical based goals are all relflections of smart football but are also dependent on factors outside of your (and your players) control. Your opponent might simply be too big and too fast for you to stop their run game or take the ball away, but if your players focus on the 5 goals listed above, you will find that most of the time you will be in a position to win!
I know this philosophy is not for everyone, but our coaches like it and our kids believe in it. Try it, you might find that it works for you.

SIX OFFENSIVE GOALS TO WIN A FOOTBALL GAME
• Average four (4) yards on first down sixty-five percent (65%) of the time. • Have one or less turnovers. Have fewer turnovers then our opponent. • Have four big plays a game. A big play is over twenty-five yards. • Score three offensive touchdowns. • Convert on third down forty-five percent (45%) of the time. • Run over sixty (60) offensive plays a game.
If we can achieve all six of these goals we will give ourselves the best opportunity to win every game.

statistical goals dont have a place hanging in a locker room in my opinion... have you not won games where you give up 500+ yards? have you not won games where you only gained 45 yards rushing? have you not had a game where your kids played their dad'gum tails off, they've given you every ounce of energy they had, and you still lose?
crap, in my mind statistical goals are frivolous... I am more inclined to go with fddoc's goal list... If a kid busts his butt, gives me all he has, and the team still loses the game, that builds far more character and develops a better man than does holding a team to under 3 yards per rush...
with that said, you'd obviously rather have your kids best be better than the other kids best... but these are still kids... focus more on their growth as young men and less on their statistical achievements, and you'll get far more out of them as players...
We have used this approach for the past 6 years, (our goals used to be heavily based on statistics).... it has been 4 years since we have lost a regular season football game...

In point of fact, we haven't hung a chart up in years. We do have a copy of the goals in the playbook to give the players an idea what we're trying to do defensively.

we have a different take. we have a player of the week board with categories for offense, defense, linemen, and special teams.
we then have a record board for the off season. we post the all time records for each position and then we also have that year's records.

Agree with strokes. However, we do keep game and season performance records for offense and defense - individual tackles, interceptions, assists, and track the all time top 10. We just don't post any locker room yardage goals.
