We're looking to chop some time off of our summer workouts. Right now, here is what our schedule looks like.
7:30-8:00- Group 1 Lift, Group 2 Conditioning/Core, Group 3 Agility/Athletic Development 8:00-8:30- rotate 8:30-9:00- rotate 9:00-9:15- transition to field 9:15-9:45- Football specific- varsity offense/JV defense 9:45-9:50- water 9:50-10:20- football specific- varsity defense/JV offense 10:20-10:30- announcements
3 hours is a little long at times in the summer, but unfortunately that's what our game has become. Anything you see we could consolidate or chop? The issue is that our weight room can only lift around 30 kids comfortably, so we have to divide into 3 groups (have around 90 kids total with freshman)

Could you alternate days for varsity O and varsity D instead of doing them both on the same day or will you lose too much instruction?

Based on what we've done in the past, if you're going four days a week, I would alternate offense and defense and not do both in one day as the previous post is suggesting.

Yeah, that seems like a lot. We will have more intense days and lighter days at least on the field.
We go 4 days a week. Some days 1.5 hrs others more 2.5 hrs.
I could see how your schedule would lead to coaches/players burning out.

Sometimes less is more. My last school had a "schedule" similar to that and after the first 2 days we had to talk the HC into cutting it down.
School I'm at now goes 4 days a week as well, but usually only about 1.5 hours, 2 at the max.

You could cut it down by using that schedule on Monday. On Tuesdays just do your lifting and your running with no practice. On Wed. dont do any lifting, just practice like a normal practice (2 hrs) and condition at the end. On Thursday just do the lifting and running again.

Who feeds the boys? Like the ideas of feeding them, but also know that can be super expensive doing it 5 days a week.

Who feeds the boys? Like the ideas of feeding them, but also know that can be super expensive doing it 5 days a week. We are an 'inner city' school. I say that in the context that we have about 65% free and reduce lunch kids, but we also have a significant group of kids that drive cars that cost more than my first house. On the socio-econnomic scale we have the highest of the high and the lowest of the low That being said, we have a lunch program that is federally funded and during the summer, any kid 18 and under can walk into our school and eat lunch every single day, M-F. So it is covered that way. We even take the kids that lift after school and feed them a bag meal before the bus takes them home. All we have to do is keep track of who eats and document it for the food service.

At another stop, we just got the TD club to buy jugs of PB and made sandwiches. A local grocery would donate day old bread. We would set up the 'buffet' and then clean up afterward
Along that line, if you go to the local grocery, they will give you the stuff in the deli that they can't sell. We have 2 that do stuff for us. One will actually drop off the stuff in boxes outside the weight room every Thursday. It might be a bunch of bread, or it might be chicken fingers, hot dogs, and potato salad that is left over from the day before.
It will be random, but we have a couple of kids that check the fridge every single day because it is better stocked than they ever have at home.
The other grocery, we had to go up there every Sunday morning and take what they had back to the school.

FYI
I have no idea how we fund the bag lunches here. I''m assuming it's a federal grant under the food stamp program. All I know is that we give the lunch manager a head count, they make sandwiches & fruit bags, we hand them out and mark off the kids that eat.
We have the normal summer school kids and they get lunch. We also do some 'get ahead' summer school and they can eat too. Like I mentioned before, if you are 18 and under, you can walk into the high school and get a lunch every day.
This in part is the DO making sure that this can happen. So I'm assuming that there is somebody writing the grants each year to keep this running. There also has to be someone at the top that makes sure this is a priority in their normal yearly routine so that it will continue.
Again, for us coaches this is idiot proof; we just give a head count so the food is ready. Then we mark off each person that takes a bag.

Yes I kn some places that do the lunches, think it is federal. Great idea though, I'll definitely check with our county and see if we offer and get arrangements made. To answer OP, I agr with what some have said on just doing one group work a day. That alone cuts 40 min.
