Coaches do you have any tools that help you with these aspects.
I have heard several people talk about how they track student grades, lifting, community service and other sports.
How do you get it done in a timely manner?
I teach 6 periods, am in the weight room at zero hour, lead the leadership program, coach track & field, advise an academic club, have three kids grades 2, 4 & 6.
Delegate? and quit advisory position?

Prioritize and delegate, as much as possible. Do you have an assistant coach you can trust to run the leadership program? Get some teacher only to run the academic club?
Assign a coach to track grades, assign a coach to organize community service things, etc

Prioritize and delegate, as much as possible. its now the off-season. Will you be meeting with the entire staff soon? Layout everything the program needs, when it needs it, how it needs to be done.... then allow your staff (the people being compensated to serve the program) to step up and take ownership of the tasks they can take care of. As the HC, you really shouldn't be having to shoulder the duties (the responsibility, yes), you're the manager of all this not the sole labor. Is there anyone in the academic office that can assist with the tracking grades for your program? After all, you're doing it to improve grades (though your motivation is to keep kids eligible). Most (successful) programs turn their assistants loose in the off-season to lead in the weight room (i.e. assistants are getting kids in the weight room and leading lifts). Community service events should be coordinated by the header, but there is no excuse for assistants to not be attending these. Do you have the staff and you're not letting them do their job? Do you have the staff but haven't mentored them to do their job correctly? Do you not have the staff and have no authority to get a staff? If you can only count on your assistants to provide value in August - November, then all you have are glorified teacher aides/babysitters, not football coaches |

Just wrote a blog post on how I track off season attendance I also I putted every kid who signed up into my school loop tracker (school loop is our online grade book system) So I have them in a database I can check through any time |
