Coaches,
After dipping our toes in the water with option principles (zone and power read), we are going all in this year with pistol option (zone, veer, midline). While we've coached everything from under center power-centric offense to hurry up no huddle spread, this is the first time we're making this level of commitment to the option game. I'm looking for all the help/input I can get on how to structure a typical 2 to 2 1/2 hours practices (of on-field time) so we can cover everything we need to to be effective. Our no-huddle element should help us cut some time off our team sessions, but I want to figure out a way to get the QB/RB option reps and o-line individual time needed to make sure we're doing this thing right.
We've followed a pretty similar format forever and I'm open to totally scrapping what we've done if need be. As much as we try to limit guys having to play both ways, the reality is we have a lot of starters that we need on both side of the ball. I know, as a more offensive minded coach, I've had to work really hard not to short change defense so please keep that in mind with your ideas.
Thanks in advance for your help!
