I'm a new OC at a HS that runs the option. We will continue to run the triple/double/midline options so we're not installing a new offensive scheme.
I'm planning the objectives for our spring practice that will be at the end of May-early June. We will have 9 days of helmets-only-after-school practices. In that time, splitting with the defense, and with far too many players to manage effectively, I need to get the players reacquainted with the offense and start putting people in the right slots.
My base objectives are:
1) Introduction of the base run game
2) Introduction of the base pass game
3) Initial personnel assessment
We will have 2 or 3 formations.
For the run game I'm looking at 4 plays - the triple, lead/iso, midline, and wedge. Our other 2 primary plays are the sweep and trap. I'm planning on installing those 4 base plays during this 9-day span. The QB’s and backs are experienced with the options so we’re not starting from scratch.
For the passing game I'm planning on working our 3-step, 5-step, and sprint-out passing game. I will have to find a completely new set of receivers. We will throw about 20-25% of the total plays so the run/pass time allocation will be worked on a comparable %.
There is a lot more to the offense, but I'm trying to be conservative and/or realistic about what I can get done in this time.
We will end spring ball on 06/08. The next week is graduation. The following week, 06/18-21, we will host a 4-day contact (very controlled) camp with 5 other teams from the area. What I come out of spring ball with will be our starting point for the camp. After that comes summer conditioning and that is where we will start to polish things.
Any recommendations for recommendations, objectives, things that have worked for you, tips for managing a lot of players, how aggressively to approach this, things to be aware of, traps that I could avoid? This is the first time wearing the OC hat and it doesn’t quite fit right just yet.
Thanks
