I was always coached (played OL) that when your teammates score a TD you need to run to the EZ and celebrate with them (not excesively) and then get ready for the point after. I see high school, college, and even NFL were after a TD skill guys and OL just turn and walk to the sideline like they just went three and out. Is this something you talk to your guys about or no?
I always emphasis to my OL that they need to chase the ball. The ball carrier could fumble it, you have to be there for the next snap anyways, you will celebrate the touchdown, or the least you are the first one there to help up your teammate.
Are other coaches actively telling their players this too?

I tell my skill players to hand the ball to the official and hug a fat guy.
I also tell my OL to be there to get hugged.

We practice this as funny as it sounds. We do certain drills like team screen or the old air raid drill of running plays moving down the field while running plays. When we score the whole team runs and celebrates.

Our kids go celebrate. Have never had to tell them to. They act like crazy people. Our 5’5” 115 lbs freshman slot got hammered by our 6’3 freshman X receiver this year after a TD doing a chest bump.

Being a small school most of,our guys have to run down since they are the exp team anyways. If they aren't on it I don't mind them coming off to the sidelines to grab a quick break before they are back on for D.

My fat guys celebrate with them. Nothing like a RB getting lifted in the air by his lineman!

As a former Olineman, I just used to celebrate with the Qb. My thought process was “Im not on Extra Point and I really don’t want to run down there...Come pretty boy Qb. Give me a hug”!!!
Yes even if it was a run. “Great job handing off!”

Sometimes there is stuff, I don´t coach especially.
As long as they celebrate by the rules and common sense, I don´t care.
Only things I adress before the first game:
* Don´t pile up on our own guy, when he´s lying on the ground.
* Don´t do anything, I(!) consider as "stupid".
Never had an issue in the last 25yrs of coaching.

Same - if anything I've had to be kind of an a-hole a couple times after scores because our entire sideline is down to about the 15 yard line to celebrate with the offense when they're coming back off the field. I love the enthusiasm but feel like a high school ref is bound to overreact about it at some point. |

We got flagged for players running to celebrate a TD that put us ahead with less than 2 minutes to go. 15 yd penalty on kickoff--may have cost us the game.
They didn't taunt or anything--just ran to congratulate. Very convenient flag. Followed by another convenient flag on the kickoff. Followed by a phantom hold 45 seconds later.....all called by the same guy. Just sayin'

Are other coaches actively telling their players this too? This is one of those things that I would not coach up. If kids play hard, do their job, and compete then why should I care how they choose to act after a touchdown or big play (as long as it's not detrimental). Every kid isn't going to be a rah-rah guy and there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, I could flip the coin on you and say "Why do players have to celebrate EVERY decent play like they just won the Super Bowl? You got a first down...congratulations." What I tend to find at least with our team is that kids understand the moment. A TD in the first quarter might not get much of a celebration, but one that changes momentum in a tight game or puts the game away late will get a different response. |

We tell our guys to celebrate and enjoy the moment. It's not easy to score TD's. It's all well and good as long as it's within reason.
For example, the last game of the year, we had a chance to break the school record for scoring. We ended up 6 points short, but after the game a couple of the seniors told me they had a planned celebration with the offense if we broke it. They were all going to run down and whoever scored the TD was going to be the "photographer" and they were going to take a mock group photo. We had 8 seniors on offense who overcame a lot, including just not being very talented, to have a great year. I can't say that I would have been mad at that penalty (as long as the game was put away at that point). Sometimes kids need to be kids.
