Our state organization has put restrictions upon the number of quarters an athlete plays (including overtime). As of this year, our kids are limited to 8 quarters of football a week. Meaning If I have a Freshmen who plays JV and Varsity, he couldn't play on the Freshmen team. Not to mention if we go to OT on Friday night. I'm definitely not a fan of this. You want a kid to play in three games a week?

Coach, can you share how you structure your practices to be in compliance with this rule? I haven't fully figured out what I want to do but I'm thinking Monday/Tuesday have 0 contact. Only thudding in Indy time, when we go to team, have the scout team have shields and have the Defense or Offense worry about their assignments for the play and technique like hand placement and footwork Wednesday/Thursday continue with thud in indy time. Save full contact for team. Friday I may switch it up and have full in indy time and go back to shields in team. I may switch it with Wednesday. I'm a freshmen head coach so we start practice in August. The varsity has been saving contact for team time which is probably the best thing to do. Spend indy/group time to install new stuff and review technique. Team time is to simulate when they use that technique or play I may be wrng, but I believe "thud" is considered contact.

Similar rules came down in kentucky this year as well. Most everyone on this board varies there tempo and scripts everything and teach skills in indy, small group, and perfect those things in team. I took it as more of a problem for those who don't put much effort into practice planning. If your on this board you already care too much about it to just scrimmage 2 hrs every day.

coachpslThe way I read the new rules it seems like it is going to limit things, even for coaches who carefully plan practice. Generally we'd have about 50m of offense a day where we'd had a 15m team O period and a 10m inside run. For defense we'd have at least a 15m team D period. That's 40m right there, 10m over what we are supposed to have in a day. That's not counting any sort of thud you may do in a group/indy setting. Though, if you assign a speed under 100% to the drill and per-determine a winner it becomes allowable because it becomes "control".

Only if you have no predetermined winner and they are going to the ground! It is control, offense is going to take the guy downfield a couple of steps, doing the drill at 75% and not going to the ground. Control. Coach, according to the email we got in Ohio any time we use any sort of bags/shields it doesn't count against the contact time regardless of offensive speed. Well just tape a shield to the kids back. And go full speed all practice! That's ridiculous to assume that a shield means not full contact...
