When do you typically go over your opponent's game film with your team? Our first game is Thursday afternoon, so we will already have a short week to get ready for our opponent.
Our practices are typically 2.5 hours, so I'm figuring just a short walk-through (1.5 hr) on Wednesday followed by film right after for about an hour.
Suggestions/advice.

What are going to go over with them specifically on the film?
I can’t see being able get a full team’s attention for a full hour.
Unless there is a specific way you are going to hold the room I definitely wouldn’t do an hour of film.
I don’t even like to do very much film if the offense goes first. I think you only get 10-15 minutes of attention from the group...might be able to get a little more but it’s going to get to a point of diminishing returns quickly.
When I do film with them as a group, usually do the checks special formations and the top plays from the top formations. I will pull up the formation and someone will call the check and the room will echo the call. Click to the next same thing. Then pull up a formation ask what’s the top run, call it echo it.
Also I love making a highlight film for them. I want them leaving the room from film wanting to play football.

At the beginning of the week we have a little game plan meeting. About 20-30 mins for each side of ball depending. Go over scouting report, any new concepts or ideas, talk about the opponent and then watch some film for the rest of the time.
Feed them the info and message you want to though. And use the film to reinforce the gameplan you already talked about.

Thanks guys. Maybe, I'll just do it on the white board. Might be easier.

We have a "Dinner and a Movie" night every Wednesday with our varsity defensive players. Totally voluntary. Kids and coaches bring food. drinks, dessert from home or take-out, everybody shares, and we watch film while we eat. It started years ago, as an excuse to feed a couple of our kids who weren't being fed regularly at home, but it became a good bonding experience, and whatever Xs and Os the kids absorb ... some more than others ... puts us that much ahead of the game on Saturday.

After I break down the film, I focus on the top 3 plays from their top 3 formations. Then I also look for what I call 100%ers, if they line up like this, they will 100% run this. I figure if we can defend that, we have a shot at winning the game.
Then I will report that stuff out and that's what we watch on film. We usually watch this on a Monday.

I don’t understand the purpose of wanting your players to watch opponent’s film so late in the preparation process as some have suggested in this thread

With hudl you can have kids watch it on their time. If your going to bring in kids go by positions. If whole team narrow it down to a few things and be quick to the point like favorite formations and plays from that formation.

We send the film to the kids on Saturday. We send a separate cutup with top formations and top runs for that formation and any tendencies. 1 or 2 clips per formation so the cut-up is maybe 10-12 plays. We show them about 15-20 minutes of film per day cut up for what we are practicing. So let's say Monday is inside run we show them inside run plays by formation and tendencies before practice. Tuesday is outside run. Wednesday we put it all together.

With hudl you can have kids watch it on their time. I understand that we have this ability but I am not a fan of it for a couple of reasons. I have worked for 2 coaches that harped on it and ream kids for it (even running some for not having film hours logged). But I have a couple problems with it. 1. I want to be able to dictate the message a little bit and make sure they are seeing the right things and in the right context. 2. These kids spend so much time with us. They do need time for homework and family. Let them be when they leave. You'll find kids that want to watch it on their own. But most of our kids really just need to get their homework done and go to bed. 3. I would rather build in ample time for us to watch film together anyways. Kind of what I already said. But if we want kids to watch film, then lets manage it and do it ourselves. You allude to it later in your post. Im just not a fan of making them watch it.

We do not, most hs teams do not have the ground floor laid to support kids watching film on their own. Ex. If you asked one of our kids to draw up a 4-3 you would get either an over or an under front. Both are half correct. Odd front would be 3-3 stack or 3-5. All that is fine until somebody comes out in true odd or even defense.

If you have Hudl...make a small package of plays for you to emphasize on Monday. Watch that with them and maybe have a bigger sampling size...maybe by formation or some other situation you want to show them. Spend time making notes on the film to emphasize what you're going to do to that team when you're doing your install for the week.
Will they watch the film on their own? Maybe. If you keep it interesting and on point there is a better chance. Then ask them about the film while going through practice. After all...you are a teacher. See if they are passing the "test" of preparation.

It’s not just watching a game in toto that’s useful. That’s really long and unfocused. If you’re showing them opponent film then it should be specific things relevant to your game plan, and ideally relevant to that day’s practice plan. If Monday is your 1-10 day then you should spend Monday’s meeting looking at 1-10 film of the opponent.
