We use the computer for just about everything. We use Apex for scouting, Playmaker Pro for playbooks, scouting reports, and scout cards, and Word for practic e scripts and wristbands. We just got Apex right before the season so we haven't gotten to the point where we're comfortable showing the kids the video off of the laptop. Technology cartainly can add to the work load but I don't miss the days of 16 mm film and ditto sheets.

My school wont pony up for any hi-tech anything. Limited resources go to equipment. I got a proscout program but dont have a computer to run it on. Dose anyone know of any programs out there to aid in the purchase of computers for schools. Ive asked the admin. but the likelyhood of them helping me is about as good as my chance to hook up with Jessica Alba. Anything is possible.

Is there any way to do a fundraiser to buy the computer and equipment you need to run proscout. I would say you need 1500.00 or less. Our school had done very little for us to help with anything other than uniforms, some equipment, transportation, officials, and coaches salary. We basically do 1 small fundraiser each year and have a huge beg a thon every 3 years for the major purchases. We raise about 2000.00 per year for all the small things that pop up and make about 10-12,000 on our beg a thon every 3 years to buy the computers, camera's, software, headsets, etc...

We are lucky that in our district everyone uses dsv so we just trade harddrives and the odk match so saves a lot of time

Hello guys, I am the video coach at ECA over in Shreveport La. First year that we have had DSV. I am able to capture and ODK plus go though and put certain things in the cutup list. After a game, I take my mini dv tapes, transfer them to VHS for trade copies plus for the other coaches since we only have one laptop for right now. We use the laptop for hooking up to a projector so our head coach can let the booster club view the film on Monday nights. I have a two part question. The first question is How do I go back though my game to click on highlights so I can start putting together our highlights for our banquet at season's end. I captured all my games by standard capture instead of automatch so far this year. The second question is this, I have been lobbying for a minidv/VHS combo with the Cowboy and I finally got some friends to donate for it but our head coach says that the use of the combo would be obsolete since you can hook up another computer for viewing film with a cowboy remote. Guys I am dumb when it comes to this since we have always used pen and paper before this year. Any help would be great. My email is coachhortman@bellsouth.net Thanks

This is semi-off topic, but I finally got an expanded Cable service with DVR/Tivo capabilities at home, and I can't tell you how actually enjoyable it has been. I've been recording NFL Matchup for years, but now somehow I've been getting these Bill Belichek "coaching breakdowns" where Belichek spends about 5 minutes breaking down a coverage or a front, somehow this is coming through my On Demand. I'm in New England so this seems to make sense, but then last week I was able to set my DVR to record the Hal Mumme show from some obscure sporting network. Not to mention it is a very simple way to tape football games off TV at a high quality. I'm curious if anyone else is doing this and if so, if they know the best way to transfer the DVRs to DVD and/or computers. This week on NFL Matchup they broke down "Mills" (the curl/in with a post behind it Cover 4 beater) and that'd be great to put on a DVD to show to the kids as a teaching tool.

The quickest and easiest way would be to use a DVD recorder. It's pretty much like using a vcr, hook your DVR box up to it, hit play and record.
