Coaching at a tiny rural school. Will have roughly 25 guys out (not bad for 8 man) and was contemplating going all offense on Tuesday all defense on Wednesday, then both on Thursday. Any thoughts? I see validity in concentrating on a specific skill/scheme during a single practice, but there's another part of me that wants to rep both o and d on the same day. For those that have been in a similar situation where you have a bunch of 2 way players, what have you found to work best?

We do something very similar. We do our install and game plan on Monday. Tuesday we have a 30 minute block for offense. After Special Teams the rest is defense. On Wednesday we have a 30 minute block for defense. After Special Teams, the rest is offense. Thursday is our walkthrough.

I was just at a larger school who plays 11 man, but with a similar roster size. We did both offense and defense Mon-Wed, with Thursday as a quick pregame walk through.
Looking at it now, I think that wasn't optimal and offensive and defensive emphasis days may be the way to go with a roster like this, but I wouldn't totally do just one or the other. Some skills just take too many reps.
If I were back in a position like this, I'd do a 30 min offensive period on The defensive day to work on throwing the ball (throwing and catching is best done daily, IMO) and some Indy, then do specials and then a full. 60-90 min defensive practice. The next day it would be vice versa: 30 min for tackling and defensive Indy, then a full offensive practice.
What do you plan to do with Monday?

We do 11 man football, but have very similar roster size... About 31 this year 9-12th.
Our practice during the year is as follows:
Mon -film, workout, special teams review, defense formation recognition, offense wrinkle install/overview of opponents defense.
Tues - Defense all day until the last 10min then we do goalline offense for 10 min.
Wed - Offense all day until the last 10min then we do goalline defense for 10min.
Thurs - walk through
Fri - gameday

Mondays are our jv game days, and most of our games on Saturdays, so we have 4 days to get ready for the next opponent. I'm leaning towards making Tuesday defensive emphasis, Wednesday offensive emphasis, Thursday combine o and d, Friday pre game practice. I do like having the first 30 minutes as an individual of the opposite emphasis (offensive indo on Tuesday), but we will probably do offense every day since we're going to be a heavy option team. Thanks for the input fellas!

It's all about how you can get more reps so you can become fluid.

Look up some of the info BLB has posted about his practice plans. He runs SBV at a small school and does the alternating days with success, which is what got me thinking there's something to it. That's actually what I based my response on earlier, If I'm ever at a small school as HC, I'll run something along those lines.
