Hey All,
I am looking at re-organizing our weekly in-season practice schedule.
A couple things to note: - I want to keep it to 2.5 hours total. We have a roster of about 35 varsity and 15 Freshmen (JV). Our guys play both ways. We all practice together for indy. Team time for the JV is done on Saturday's - they play on Monday and we keep the scheme the same. We don't have lifting periods or athletic periods.
Here is what I got.
MONDAY
3:30 – 4:30 – Lift
4:30 – 5:00 - 30 Minute Review Friday Night’s Film
5:00 – 5:15 – D Game Plan
5:15 – 5:30 – O Game Plan
TUESDAY – DEFENSIVE DAY
3:30 – 3:50 – Special Teams Meeting
3:50 – 4:00 – Film – Opponent Favorite Plays
4:00 – 4:10 – Warm - Up
4:10 – 4:20 – Live Period
4:20 – 4:30 – Special Teams
4:30 – 4:50 – Indy Offense
4:50 – 5:20 – Indy Defense (Include pursuit)
5:20 – 5:35 – Defensive Skelly (DL – Pass Rush and / or Chutes / Sled)
5:35 – 5:50 – Defensive Inside Run (DB's 1 on 1's)
5:50 – 6:00 - Tackle
WEDNESDAY – OFFENSIVE DAY
3:30 – 4:00 – Lift
4:00 – 4:20 – Special Teams
4:20 – 4:40 – TEAM D – Top 3 Pass / Top 3 Run Plays
4:40 – 6:00 – Offense (My OC will break this down further, just giving him a block of time at this point.)
THURSDAY
3:30 – 3:40 – Warm Up
3:40 – 3:50 – Speed Training
3:50 – 4:10 – Special Teams
4:10 – 4:35– Offense
4:35 – 4:40– Tackle
4:40 – 5:00 – Team D
SATURDAY
9:00 – 10:30
Varsity – Run / lift / Stretch
JV – On the Field - TEAM
Hate it - Love it - Any suggestions let me know. Probably far from perfect, but I want efficiency.

We are looking at re-organizing as well. We have about 28 varsity players. How long have you been doing weekly practices with an offensive and defensive day? I want to go to this practice format and was looking for some input. I would also be interested in knowing what you do for your speed training on Thursdays. PM me if you would like to talk about things in more detail.

We are a small team as well, Tuesday is always our long day usually out from about 315-530 maybe a little longer depending on how the practices is going. we changed our philosophy this year only to keep us healthier towards the end of the year. we do try to get team offense and defense in everyday. i feel with use technology you can eliminate some of the film study

We are looking at re-organizing as well. We have about 28 varsity players. How long have you been doing weekly practices with an offensive and defensive day? I want to go to this practice format and was looking for some input. I would also be interested in knowing what you do for your speed training on Thursdays. PM me if you would like to talk about things in more detail. Last year was the first year we did a practice with an offensive and a defensive day. Prior to that we basically split up the practices. Offense usually had a little more time. As far as pros and cons - this is what I see: Pros - Segments don't feel rushed. This is more beneficial, I think in inside run and 7 on 7 periods. We do a lot of our coaching on the fly - but this longer period seems to allow for us to do some teaching in the period if necessary without really falling behind. I feels like it is a more complete practice. Cons - if you see something you don't like in the game plan - there is less time to adjust. So you need to be really prepared going into the practice. You aren't going to get team every day. I also feel like the kids need to work both sides of the ball every day - so this plan includes indy offense on the defensive day and team defense on the offensive day. Speed training - We did this for the first time last year. I coach track along with my LB / RB coach. We do a lot of speed training in track and the summer to get our guys faster, then when we get into the season we do nothing to maintain or grow that speed. I listened to Steve Silvey speak at a clinic about this topic and it just occurred to me that we need to do this. He is a very knowledgeable coach he doesn't give his material away, but he knows what he is doing. A resource i would recommend to anyone. Any way, back to the point. We did three different workouts and we alternated them week to week. Workout 1 3 x 30 yds @ 95%, 1 Minute between each rep 2 x 50 yds @ 95%, 1 Minute between each rep Workout 2 40 Yards Total - 10 yds Acceleration - 20 yds full speed - 10 yds deceleration x 6 - 1 Minute between each rep Workout 3 3 x 100 at 75% - 2 minutes between each rep. You need a good warm-up for these, so kids don't end up pulling muscles. We also did this at the start of practice when legs were fresh. It doesn't make sense to do this training at the end of practice or even after lifting. Thinking about it now, I should probably move this segment to Tuesday to prevent any hold-over lactic acid build-up in the legs. We did it early in the week last year. In an ideal world, I would commit 20 minutes to this segment and add some sprinting hurdle drills. You can youtube to see some examples. However, time doesn't really allow for this, so we do the best we can with what we do have. It is important to note, that we coach up technique & form when doing this, but it really needs to start in the summer and carry over from there. We also do the hurdle drills in the summer. If you want me details - just let me know.
