Does anyone film jv and freshman games to evaluate your future varsity players? How has it helped you?

I don't really follow the question. If you have the capability to film the game, and properly review the film with the players why wouldn't you do this?
The only reason not to film jv/freshman games would be if you couldn't film them, or if you couldn't properly review the films (making the filming a waste of time)

We have always tried to get parents to film frosh/jv games.
we usually put at least one game on hudl so they can make a highlight reel ha ha

We film every freshmen game as we do freshmen/varsity double headers almost every Friday. So, the guy who volunteers to do our varsity film just simply does both games. Our HC will film every JV home game and road games if they are close enough for him to get to after the varsity's Monday practice. We use them as evaluation tools for in-season just as filming varsity games would do; I'm not sure how much we are looking to the future though when we evaluate them.
Also, it's fairly common for our JV to be playing a different opponent on Mondays than our varsity did on Friday, so unless we're pretty confident we'll see the same type of defense or offense, we don't really watch the film with our players. For me, it's more about identifying what we need to work on in practice.

Does anyone film jv and freshman games to evaluate your future varsity players? How has it helped you? When I was a Frosh-Soph coach, I always had our games filmed. But it wasn't to evaluate the kids as future varsity players. We filmed the games for the same reasons that the varsity filmed their games...to make sure that players were executing their assignments and using proper technique. |

We filmed ours this year. We tried to get time to break down the film with them every week for a few minutes at least. Plus it let them put their own highlights together which the kids like.

We usually get a dad to film ours and post it on hudl, but we don't break it down as a team (most of our JV players swing onto varsity so their film time is spent watching varsity games).
If you have a separate JV team with limited swing players, and they don't watch varsity films already, I could see having a JV film period. At the very least they could learn how to watch film as a player- not just being a fan of the film. And you could try to correct through this process.
In regards to using a JV film as a tool to evaluate future varsity, I think that would be limited in its use. 1) They are still growing and developing so much at that age. 2) I usually have a good grasp on the talent and capabilities of the JV player already. 3) JV films are very different in regards to relative talent; every step up in level increases the homogeneity of talent, and none may be bigger than JV/V. If you figure the more dominant Sophs, and most all Jrs. are already playing varsity JV tends to be an mix of talent that I feel can be difficult to assess in this fashion.

We generally do. Most of the time it is an injured kid who is doing it for us.
There are some weeks we'll watch it with them for a few series, sometimes we won't. It just depends on time. We are a small program so our JV guys still have varsity roles they fufill.
I have in the off-season gone through and done some looking our our offense, more so looking at assignments and are there thing s our young guys are continually busting? those things the I look at how can we be more efficient/better with teaching and repoint them.

We film our freshmen and JV always....but not to evaluate future talent. To work on getting better and fixing our mistakes.

Yes. We usually have a couple kids do it as a job. They get paid per game. We view it pretty informally, meaning we watch it without taking notes or anything like that. The varsity staff will watch the games in person so we are aware of who is doing what already. Plus we watch to see what the opponents JV staff is doing to see if there is anything else we need to discuss before our game. Other than that, the film is mainly for that staff to use and view with their team.

I watched 2 of ours today. It's amazing how good the young guys can do one play and the next play they do the same thing except completely wrong.

We film all sub varsity games, and we all watch the games to fix mistakes in practice the following week. We play subvarsity on Thursdays, so friday during the freshman athletic period we watch the games with the kids. I think it's important with the freshman especially cause they haven't ever been in a film room and learned how to critique themselves.

For that age and below, it's a lot more about review than preparation. Identifying mistakes and showing ho things are supposed to be done. I focussed very heavily on last game and fixing the biggest issues from it, rather than worrying about what an upcoming opponent would do.

We have a crew of 4 Knowledge Bowl type kids that we recruited to be our "Sports Information Team". They take pride in doing a killer job and divvy up the filming of games and practices among themselves. We get consistent quality filming and they letter in football and get coaches style shirts for their time. They eat pregame meals as part of the team, they travel on the buses, and they get love at the banquet! We did it as a lark 3 years ago and this spring they are recruiting their replacements early so they can "leave the program in good hands". One of these kids is planning on a career in Sports Journalism as a result of his experience. Added benefit? The Foreign language and Physics classes hears good stuff about the Athletic side of campus life.

we will film all home games for varsity and JV
It is really important if you want to break very bad habits and end free lancing before they become varsity players

We used to, not so much to evaluate the talent, but so that we could show the film to the kids to teach them. Then our film guy had some personal problems that kept him away on Thursday night, so we havent been able to film them lately

Do you varsity guys use it as a tool as well to plan your scheme for the future? Or how much of a role does it play? As in maybe some JV line kids that are expected to step up next season, maybe they are stronger on quick hitting plays and weaker on slower plays, or a freshman group you have executes well inside the tackles but struggles on perimeter plays so plan differently to get outside?

The best part is when the JV players want highlight JV film to send to colleges.

It is mainly used by the JV coaches, and the kids to create their own highlight tapes, or most optimistically self evaluate. I do remember having to pull a kid in who said he was so much better then the varsity player ahead of him. We watched the film together and started going through all the ways he was not ready for varsity. |
