Anybody have any success firing up your scout team guys by calling them something different?

We called them the "Raiders" - Raider Offense, Raider Defense.
When Bo Schembechler was HC at Michigan they were called the "Demonstration" or "demo" teams.

When I was on scout team my freshman year in college, we affectionately called ourselves Meat Squad. Given the pounding we took, it was pretty appropriate!

When I was in high school, our school did the whole Blackshirt Defense and they wore black practice jerseys. Well the scout team wore gold practice jerseys, and after a while the coaches starting calling us the "Solid gold offense". It actually did a good job to get us younger kids on the scout team something to rally behind and get us working together more and have some pride in.

Dream Team.
Based after the Olympic BB teams and the 1989 movie of the same name.
It is usually the biggest bomb squad of football players you have even seen but the name made them feel important.

"Eagle/Bear/Grizzly (whatever your mascot is) Offense"
Give them some props. We give a lot of rewards to our best effort scout guys. T-shirts, carry our championship belt, honorary captains etc. And honestly the most important is that they become our "next guys in" on the depth chart. So being a great scout player leads to playing time at the varsity games.

Dress team. We don't have great number for our level of play. So we take kids who give max effort in not play but behavior on and off the field. We will dress those kids on friday night. Then they get a chance to compete on varsity the next week.

Same thing, we had Blue (two deep) and Red (the rest aka scout) offense and defense in college. Don't know why those were the names as they definitely weren't the school colors. The young guys all banded together as the Red Dawgs, which again, makes zero sense as it wasn't the mascot, but it gave us something to feel unified about. |

The college I went to called the scout team the Kodak team. Awarded a weekly award that got a t-shirt, and awarded a Kodak player of the year award. I still don't know why it was called Kodak though...

At one stop, they honored the scout team by listing off the scout team practice stats against the opponent's stats from that week. More often than not, the scout team won. Kids loved the idea that they could score more uding the other teams offense than they could. Also drove home the fact that scout team matters and was vital to our success.

I still don't know why it was called Kodak though... I’m assuming it’s because they’re providing a picture of what the opponent will be doing??? You’d have to call today’s scout team snap chat or something like that. |

In HS we were the Demo Team, and our coach had a little shirt made up for the Demo Player of the Week. Made us schnucks feel important. A lot of us worked hard for that shirt. The demo team is also where I learned to cut block the dog out of upper class players and also what it feels like to be rammed in to the ground by said upper class players.
My best friend to this day and I still carry a demo team joke. We weren't friends then, but when I was a junior I smoked him in the back in a pile and he got up found me and said, "if you ever do that again I'll f'in kill you." I still like to answer the phone with that.
We also had our multiple coaches running the demo team and coaching us up hard. That is the biggest reason I felt the Demo Team worked. We didn't feel like we were the poo squad.

Depending on team size and those players role 2nd team Offense or 2nd team Defense. Ive always been at small schools and those guys are #2 on the depth chart.

My HS coach called us the "Seagulls". According to him all we did was eat, chit, and make a lot of noise.
He wasn't wrong.

I’ve also heard ERWs. Eat ride and watch. Eat pregame meal. Ride the bus to the game and watch for free. That usually applies to the kids who are too lazy to be scout team.

We used to have yellow jerseys that the scout team slipped over their practice jersey and pads, so we affectionately called them the "Banana Squad". The kids loved it.

We dont have enough kids for a separate "scout" team. 1st & 2nd offense gives the look for the defense, defense rotates in to give a look for the offense.
Backups will get more reps during "scout" times, but everyone plays all the time.
Sometimes the backups get overpowered, it then becomes a teachable moment for THEM!! They are 1 play away from being the starter, they need all the quality reps they can get. That is usually enough to light a fire under em
