Coaches,
We are looking to go 2 platoon next fall. We feel like we have enough athletes to only have the kids play one side of the ball. We are having trouble figuring out how to structure practices. During the spring we should be fine because it is just one team so we will have offense on one side of the field going through indy drills, group drills, team, etc. While defense does the same on the other side of the field.
The issue we are stuck on is how do we structure practice in the fall when we have a JV team to coach as well. We will hopefully have 7 or 8 coaches on staff and all of us will have a varsity and jv responsibility. We don't like to just toss JV to the side and let them watch varsity practice. We want them to learn our offensive and defensive concepts as well. JV most likely won't have enough athletes to be true two platoon. How can we structure practice??
I have heard some guys say they keep jv and varsity two platoon and they all hit their position groups for indy. So they may have 25 WR's during indy between jv and varsity but the varsity guys get most if not all of the reps. Then JV watches varsity practice for the next hour and a half then jv gets a few team periods in at the end.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
