I am curious how everyone handles game day when you do not have school. We have two Fridays every fall that are not school days. Some groups handle it great while others don't. Our typical non school Friday looks like this:
7:15 team breakfast
11:30 team lunch
2:00 game film
3:30 pack/leave or 5:00 at the game field.
7:00 kick off

really?
you keep them all day for a 7pm football game?
Heres how we handle it:
Report 2 hours before kickoff for home games.
Report 45 minutes before bus time for away games.
We eat team dinners the night before the game.

Last school I was at we didnt have school on Fridays..The way I set it up: 7:30 am: report and team jog. this was usually a slow paced mile jog in the am as a team just to get em up and doing something. Then a very LONG stretch session. Made them hold stretches a little longer and we did them twice. Kids said they liked it and made them feel relaxed. Maybe Yoga Class for FB Players?  Around 8:00 am: Team Parents would cook us a huge team breakfast. Players were released after that. If it was a home game kids would report at 3:00 (they actually voted to do this) to watch a movie as a team. tape and dress after If it was an away game they reported 30 mins before bus was scheduled to leave |

8am-9am: Film by position
9am-10:30am: Walk Thru on Field (much like a Thursday night practice)
10:30am-11:30am: Offensive Team Film/Defensive Team Film (We two-platoon)
11:30am: Dismiss players
3:00pm: Report for Team Meal in School Cafeteria
4:15pm: Film by Position
5:00pm: More Walk Thru on Field
5:45pm: Get taped/dressed

When I was in high school we always had a couple of days like this as well. The way we did it was that we pushed our team meal from Thursday dinner to Friday morning. After that we just had a time to report before the game.
As a coach we've run into this a couple times and we've done it two ways.
#1 - Bring the kids in at 8am for film and walk-through session. Basically repeated Thursday's walkthrough. Then released and back to school at whatever time HC wants them there.
#2 - Do nothing before hand and then just give the time for kids to be at the school.

We eat team dinners the night before the game. I agree that this is micromanaging. We usually have e few games every year when there is no school that day. This year we had four: a Thursday night before school started, and three Saturdays. We eat our pregame meal three hours before kickoff. That's four o'clock for a 7 PM game. We have them report fifteen minutes before meal time. If there's no school that day the time does not change. We tell them to get to bed at their usual time and not to do anything stupid. If they are going to do something stupid, though, I don't think that bringing them in twelve hours before game time will stop them. |

I would have them report to the school, field house, locker room (whatever) at whatever time they would normally be done with school or the pep rally and they're 100% mine. From there, I would do things just like a normal game day. I would tell them the night before to just sleep late and chill out during the day and be ready to get going at the proper time.

I agree with most of the sentiment here. The routine is going to be off anyway, so I don't see the point in scheduling activities. Heck, that may throw things off even more if you are doing things on game day you normally don't do. While it's always in the back of my mind that things may be different, I've never actually noticed anything different from the players on these days.

Then they come back for lunch and then a break. then we bring them back at for film at 2:00 |

Happens to us all the time for some reason, we only have one coach in the building so there is no other option for us other than see you at ____ o'clock on Friday. Like I have said we have been through it a lot and have never noticed anything different than days with school. I really don't understand the point of 3 extra hours of film and 2 hours of walk thru, I would be bored myself and tune out at that point. It's game day, time to play and let them loose. So that's all we do.

We did a walk through at 8 a.m. for about an hour then turned them loose and had them come back when we normally meet. I wanted to get them out of bed and going for at least a little while in the morning to try to keep the relatively same schedule.

Our district has every Friday off of school. For home games our schedule is:
2:00 Team Movie (optional)
3:45 Team Devotional (optional)
4:00 Team Meal
4:45 Team Film O/D Walk Through
5:40 Depart for Stadium
5:55 Start Pregame
7:00 KAWC
we adjust for away games. most kids start rolling in around 1:45 and everyone is usually there by 3:45.
as a coach I like not being around a lot of kids/teachers all game day, and I can be on my own schedule and get things done that I normally wouldn't during football season. i also don't have to worry about kids getting in trouble on game days.

See you on the field at 530pm for a 7pm game. They don't want to see me before then and I don't want to see them.

We would bring them in around lunch time. No set schedule till 3 when we eat pre game. Just trying to keep them in some sort of a routine and get them up and moving.
