What do you consider must haves for Game day. Looking at building a proper check list. Seems something is always missing. I am talking coaches not athletes. Will always have athletes show up without pants or missing a helmet.
What Have other coaches found essential for Game day.

Definitely more than we have. I am still trying to work an iPad into the budget even for filming. Have though of using an iPad from the box for stats and still pics of fronts for half time.
Good list. Thank you.

On a personal level (some weeks I call the game from the box, others the sideline):
1. Backpack
2. Something caffeinated in the backpack because by the end of the week I'm mentally exhausted.
3. Something to eat in the backpack. I'll usually munch on a sub from Subway on defensive series if I'm up in the box.
4. A fly ass quarterzip. Gotta look good at all times.

Will always have athletes show up without pants or missing a helmet. What Have other coaches found essential for Game day. I think it would be a good idea to bring a few extra game jerseys, skill players and lineman numbers. A few years ago we had a player whose jersey got ripped from the v neck collar almost all the way down to the waist, he came off, got a new jersey on him and he only missed a few plays. It would also come in handy if a player were to get a large amount of blood on him. |

Lots of extra screws and pieces for facemasks/helmets; if you use clips on shoulder pads then those as well. Also make sure you have multiple for each type of helmet and shoulder pad you might have (if you are at an older school that has various types of gear you know what I mean). In this regards we always carry an equipment guy (usually our guy who sets up the cameras and headsets) who in game repairs broken player equipment.
Gotta have a couple blood jerseys, usually one lineman and one skill, and a couple spare pants in case of blood (med and XL). Also enough spare pads to outfit two players, and a couple extra helmets.
Large whiteboard, 3 dry erase markers, sharpies (maybe pending wristbands), copies of depth charts, Emergency binder with player contact information, couple plastic paper sheaths, game equipment (balls, tees, etc)

Everything that has been said so far.
Extra towels. You can never have enough.
Rain gear.
Pump & needle, pressure gauge. In case the officials check the ball and say you need to put more air in/take air out.

We bring 2 extra bags with enough equipment to fully suit up two players. Never know if shoulder pads, helmet, knee braces will break and we have spares of everything. Everything else has been covered.

I think that putting it all on google docs/sheets would be even better b/c then you'd have instant access on your phone/ipad and wouldn't need a computer. |

Our typical setup:
- Pop up tent with side walls with Dual TV Cart, 2 TVs, 2 iPads (EZ and Sideline angle showing), power strip, all cables to connect iPads to TVs, extension cord if at home or generator if away underneath the tent
- Headsets
- Helmet Kit
- Bag of extra helmets, shoulder pads, girdles, pants, jerseys, mouthpieces, knee pads and shoulder pad accessories.
- 3 Gatorade jugs (1 with Gatorade and two with water)
- 3 Gatorade carriers and 18 squirt bottles
- Ball Bag w/tees/blocks and pro kick holder
- Call sheets
- iPad I carry when we're on offense and another coach carries when we are on defense
- Kicking net
- Laminated sheet with "Game Maxims" written on them
I think that's about it. Off the top of my head so it's possible I'm missing something obvious!
