Coaches, we are working on our defensive goals chart for this season. In the past we did not keep up with it but I am more involved in the varsity defense this year and really enjoyed it as a player. First, what are your defensive goals? I'm looking more for specifics... here are what I have so far:
1) Force 3 Turnovers
2) Score
3) Under 4 yards per carry
4) Completion Percentage under 50%
5) No Offsides Penalties (thought about going with a penalty yardage goal - but we really want the secondary to be more aggressive and we'll take a PI call here and there for it)
6) No Big Plays (over 20 yards)
7) Less than 14 Points
8) WIN
Are any of these too much/not enough for high school? We were trying to adapt from a college program's goal list that we liked.
Also, I'm looking for some 'nicknames' for a few other individual accomplishments. May be for pride stickers...
1) Sack - lots of ideas, nothing great...
2) Big Hit - Hit Stick (like PS2) is the best idea so far
3) Game changer (biggest play...got nothing here)
4) Interception (Ball Hawk)
I want something that is going to stick with the kids, that they'll get excited about not just after the game but in practice, etc.
Any help is appreciated, decided to post on the general board so maybe all those creative offensive guys can take a break from drawing trick plays on napkins and offer some ideas too
Sorry for the long post, thanks if you made it this far!
