Guys,
Do you take time to teach guys how to be a scout player? We had trouble in spring ball and wonder if anybody had expectations they teach kids.
Thanks!

When we face an opponent that runs something out of our repertoire we put together a "Wing T group" or whatever is the case. They get out of warmups and conditioning in return for spending the practice with whichever coach knows the oddball offense the best. We have even started doing this 2 weeks early for some opponents. The ultimate hook is to tell them that they will get to start a game as a group at some point and play for as long as they move the ball. This amps up our "Scouty Crew". Obviously we have the talk with the entire squad about how to earn Friday night time.

We take the scout team aside in pre-practice and show them the basics. It's really just offense that you need to do it with.

What exactly do you mean by "how to be a scout player"? Do you mean the plays to run, or is there something involving heart and toughness implied in the question?

I host a weekly meeting covering film, doing some basic installation of their plays, talking some technical points, adjustments so my teenaged walkons can handle an NFL DT, any trick plays, and to give candy to last week's top OL and receiver.
