I have often found that where I stand during a team or 11 on 11 period in practice influences how I coach.
Where do you stand during this time? BTW - I hate using the word "stand" in anything involving coaching. Usually I do not stand around and kill grass, but there is a general area I watch things from.
My two favorites spots as a secondary coach.
1. Very deep in the secondary. Seeing the release of the routes and watching the action of the secondary pass defenders.
2. Near the offensive huddle. Sometimes it is extremely important to know what play is coming to watch the reaction of specific defenders that need to stop the play.
Thoughts? Where do you find to be the best place to position yourself during a team or 11 on 11 period?

When coaching defense I like to stand behind the offense. That way I can see if the LBers are reading thier keys right.

We script everything and every coach has a copy of our script, so we don't need to stand near the O. But I usually stand on the offensive side for the first few plays at least. I am coaching the LB's this year and I want to see their eyes, since that is the first thing that I coach. Then I usually move around to behind the FS, because I coach the feet second. When I coached DB's, I would stand deep behind the FS. I found that I could see where they were looking better in this position than from behind the O.

I think it depends on what you coach somewhat. Since I coach offensive backs, when we're on offense, I stand about 10 yards behind QB.
On defense, I coach LBers, so I usually stand where the umpire does on Friday nights (can be dangerous - let's just say I'm not as nimble as I once was). At least once a week I go stand by the scout offense huddle so I know what the play is in advance and watch the LBers reactions (especially their eyes and feet) from there.

As OC/OL I stand behind the offense, the RB coach stands behind the Offense and our receiver coach stands on the sideline to watch for vertical alignment on all 11 players. After each play each coach is on the run to find a player to talk to as we jog back to the huddle. We coach on the run and do not interfer with our tempo that we try to accomplish in team. We have everything scripted and put the scripts in the wrist coach of each QB, so they know what play to call and we don't have to stand in the huddle and give them the play to run. Has really helped our tempo and use of time.

As a QB coach I stand behind the offense so I can also make sure my backup QB’s are paying attention to what is going on. I also like to ask players about the upcoming play and tell me what each person will be doing, this way I can make sure I know that the backup’s understand the offense. Are DB coach stands behind the defense.

When coaching Oline, I stand behind and as close to the offensive backfield as I can without being in the way. Dline, in the deep secondary. Kind of a funny story--one year, the scout team Mike backer (also a starter for us; really didn't have an offensive position though) noticed I stood closer to playside when watching my lineman. So obviously, I began playing mindgames with him and became more sporadic in where I stood to watch my oline!!

Offensively I'm behind the offense. On defense I'm about behind the safeties watching the blocks to see how the guys react. With my script I know where I should be watching.

I coach DBs and in 7 on 7 I like to crouch near the LOS so I can see everyone's drops, where they haven't shaded, etc. Plus from there they look at me before and I can move people around. For 11 on 11 I stand right behind my safeties.

OC/OL..stand behind the huddle, so I can know the play, know the offensive lines footwork, and since i'm usually the biggest guy on the field...set straight any kids who think paying attention is not important.

As a defensive coach I have found that if I stand behind the offense I have a better view of what my d-line and LBers are doing. Coaching the safeties I stand right behind them and try to see what they are seeing. On the offensive side of the ball I am also behind the offensive huddle.
One thing we don't do enough is is having a coach on the sideline checking for alignments, offsides, etc.

I should have added that on Thursdays (pre-game) I stand on the sideline. We signal our offense in and obviously this gives our QBs practice. I can also check alignment of both lines and WRs, coverage on kicks, and practice myself on substitutions and checking defensive alignment/reactions.

I'm all over the place on D (not in secondary anymore... I'm too slow to get out of the way; I'm a great "pick" for the scout team). On O I am behind the TB (area) watching the line... though I seem to be on the fullback's case the most...

On offense, I find myself standing behind the backfield off to the right. Usually right behind the offensive tackle for some reason. On defense, I like to get about 5 yards behind the safety so I can see how everything unfolds and see what DB's are seeing.

I wear several hats, HC/DC/DL . . .during 11 on 11 I tend to stand where the umpire does (maybe a yard behind the LBs). If the offense starts using me as a pic, I generally move back with the safeties. I get a great view of the DL and the LB reads so I can see if they are reacting properly, but it can get a little dangerous with crossing routes . . . I am sometimes tempted to lower a shoulder rather than get out of the way, but I do get a great view from there.

Our ehad coach wants to make every scrimmage group situation as much game like as possible,as well as force us to teach/correct off film,and coach ion the run. So everyone is off to the side,and he blows the whistle for the play to stop. This gives the players a game likle atmosphere in terms of signals coming in,and everything. During inside drill the offensive guys are behind the offense,and the defensive guys are behind the defense. The head coach goes where he wants.
