So do you have all of your players the last period? I've heard of schools doing this, but never been at one. Is this labeled a football class? Does it just count as a typical PE credit for the student? I assume they signup for the class in the spring, what if a player quits mid-summer, is he removed from the class? I assume you wouldn't want regular students/players that quick sitting in on film. It counts as an elective class. We do not have PE in the high school where I am. In the fall - it is explained to parents that if they want to be in the class they will lift and watch film, regardless of whether or not they play football. Once football season over, it basically turns into a weight lifting class - you don't lift, you're looking for another elective. Ours takes care of itself and we are a little different in some respects. We have 30 out of 33 eligible males in the high school playing football. So there's basically nobody who doesn't. The old school I was at, if you quit or didn't play football, you were expected to participate fully in all activities or you would be removed from the class. Thanks for the info! Great idea if a coach can get administration on board if one of these classes aren't already in place.

It was an absolute for me taking this job. Will be everywhere in the future if I'm ever interviewing for a HC job.

Where I'm at with this is a couple of thoughts.
First, like I said earlier, is doing it during lunch hours on M & T's. Upside, it's does not interfere with current schedule, down side, kids forgetting, long lunch lines, kids needing help with classes, etc.
The second idea I have (which I'm liking more and more) is having kids come in for a voluntary film session on Sunday for an hour or so. I live extremely close to school and tend to come in anyway, so again, not really an issue. Our state doesn't allow any type of official activity on Sundays, hence voluntary.
Third would be Saturdays. Not crazy about that b/c we usually give the kids Saturdays off and frankly, I kind of need that time away from them. Also, we as a staff get a lot done w/o kids around & it would extend our day.
So that's kind of where I'm at with this. Lots of good feedback on this. Curious about any of the thoughts on my Sunday option. really don't want to take any practice time away b/c we get out later than most already (315) and I have 2 coaches out of the building who don't get here until 4-415. So it's already a late night without film.
Thanks.

On another note, is their ever a case of too much film watching being a bad thing?
Let me explain. In the past we always traded 2 films, plus you would generally as the season went along pick up another film or 2 based on who you previously traded with. Anyway, we would always break down the 2 most recent & then maybe 1 more if we had heard that the team we are playing did something different or unconventional.
Now, our conference wants to make all film available. Meaning they can ask you for as much as they need and vice versa. I voted against this and was outnumbered. My thoughts are do you ever get to a point of diminishing returns? We can only teach and prep so much in a small time frame and the kids can only learn so many things.
Anyhow, I see both sides of it. Just wondering if the results will be worth the time invested or do I run the risk of watering down what my kids really NEED to KNOW?

The amount of film you get on your opponent wouldn't be the issue, it would still depend on what you tell your players or what you expect them to do. You can get every film of your opponent and still keep things basic.

We do both "hudl homework" (send film to be watched at home) and before/after practice.
Although the easy thing would be to send it home and expect them to learn I have found, much like teaching, the kids won't get the same out of a film session unless you are in there with them teaching them.
We are 2 platoon, and break things down by groups:
Monday is a big film day for us- we don't even hit the field. We breakoff into offense/defense and watch previous film, watch the opponent, install new stuff in classroom. Lasts about 1.5hrs. Offense usually goes 2+hours. Tuesday is DL/LB pre-practice, OL after. QB EVERYDAY Wednesday is DB pre-practice, Skills after Thursday is Spt pre-practice, All Offense after
Used to do Saturday film, but a lot of my guys re-work their work schedules so they mostly all work on Saturday morning/afternoon...plus it cuts into my sleep and drinking time.
It rotates based on who needs more film. When we see spread teams I may take DBs 2x's that week.
