Coaches
Just wondering what you all do in practice as far as expectations for intensity and ensuring you get a decent look but not killing the kids . Do you tell the scout team how to play, etc.. We won't ever go to the ground (and I don't think we need to) but now we basically do a glorified walk thru the entire practice. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Spend more time in individual drills where you can better regulate actions and keep players safe. Teams spend too much time in team as is, let alone when you are trying to keep players from killing themselves.

As the Head Coach , I make sure to run our scout team offense. Even though I am the OC, I also draw up the run blocking cards for the scout offense and try to make them pretty detailed so our defense gets at least a decent look. I think if the HC is involved with the scout team, there is a little more urgency with those guys. Also, when I was at a bigger school. On Monday's we would lift and split into 2 groups. While 1 group lifted, the scout guys watched film of the oppoenent's offense so they had a visual of what they were doing that week.

Do you have a position group on defense? I ask because when I was at schools where I only coached one side of the ball I didn’t mind doing it. But the school I am at now I coach both sides of the ball and we don’t film practice so if I had to coach scout team there would be no way I could do that and coach up my guys too. |

We have a very small staff so everyone coaches both sides of the ball. Filming is not really an option. The effort would increase if we told them to. Just trying to figure out what to tell them so we get a look without a scout team all american taking out one of our starters. I am thinking the D-Line fires out and holds on to go on a ride "Under Control" Backers if they get blocked fit up and do the same, if they get by then buzz and tag the ball carrier. Secondary cannot leave their feet to make a play but anything else goes as far as coverage.

Our HC coaches offensive scout team and treats this period as team offense for the scouts. Our team periods are live in line and club-up BC.
Two of us (defensive coaches )coach the defensive scout team (one for front/one for secondary). We tell the defensive scouts to run to the BC and tag him or to play coverage and not go for the ball (avoid collisions). Again, we tell scout defense that this is their team defensive period and this is where they get noticed.

Practice players of the week, one offense one defense, will go a long way. Make it a sticker on the helmet or a locker tag, or take them out for food. It gives the practice guys something to go after, so obviously most will give you a real good look.
