I'm curious on how some of you guys make sure your kids start fast. . We have had two scrimmages and started slow in both of them. We are looking at getting some good on good quick whistle competition stuff before.
What do you guys do?
You guys that have started slow(couple series to get going) why do you think it happened?

Nothing, we keep it as similar to how we start practice as we can.

My 1 year as a JV HC we were really bad at starting games
A series or two in the kids woke up and we played great
But started slow.
Mid season I started doing an Oklahoma drill in pre game
Kids got a rep or two of it
But actually hitting and getting hit better prepared them to play
I think we get caught up in going through the motions and trying to not get hurt
I think a few live reps helps get rid of the butterflies and get them ready

I make sure I don't wear them out with ridiculously long warm-ups. If they are fresh, my guys are always pumped and start much better. I used to do too long of a warm-up and I remember how we started slow all the time. Always seemed to get caught early before we got some energy back. I also think we are better in the 4th quarter now unless our numbers are real low. (34th year coaching)
We never warm-up more than 10 minutes for games. We don't warm-up at all in practice, we go right to the 1st segment.

Ya don't do too much.
And I love an oklahoma or a 1v1 ring drill before the game. Knocks out the butterflies and other teams look at you like youre kind of crazy

The teams I've been a part of have done 1-2 rounds of this for the past 3 years right after stretching as part of our pre-game warm-ups. I love it! |

We do something similar to this as a daily 5-10 minute period right after our dynamic warm up and keep that going onto game day. I actually like it because it burns off part of their adrenalin and they're more clear-headed, imo. |
