Our coaching staff has 5 new coaches on the staff. Last year we made it work with 4 and this year added 5 to get to 9. Weve been meeting and have been conditioning with kids. This weekend we are having a meeting Saturday for each coordinating to present on their side of the ball.
We have:
Practice, organization and responsibilities
Offensive outline
OL schemes
Defensive outline
Special teams
anything else people reccomend or ways to improve meeting?

This weekend we are having a meeting Saturday for each coordinating to present on their side of the ball. We have: Practice, organization and responsibilities Offensive outline OL schemes Defensive outline Special teams anything else people reccomend or ways to improve meeting? I think that by far is the most important, from a couple angles. One, you gotta reinforce what they need to get done, how to do it, and when it needs to get done by. If Coach A needs to get his portion of the HUDL breakdown done by noon Saturday, then make sure he knows that without any ambiguity, and knows what specifically he needs to get done. Also, breakdown each coach's lane (so they know how to stay in it) so you don't get the S&C/get back coach trying to 'suggest' plays to the OC in the middle of the game. Be clear, concise, and specific. Along those lines, go over your practice schedules throughout a typical week (for each day), and I mean meticulously. Walk through what you expect each coach to be doing at each time, and how you expect them to do it. If a position coach, make sure their drills align with what your system is. I've had issues where position coaches, once the season gets going, start freelancing too much and by the end of the year are super inefficient and all over the map. |

I've had issues where position coaches, once the season gets going, start freelancing too much and by the end of the year are super inefficient and all over the map. Echoing this. In the last two staffs I have been a part of we always have a meeting before the season starts where we breakdown each coach's responsibilities. This includes "x coach is coaching varsity OLB's" but also tech/hudl responsibilities, off-the-field responsibilities (leadership group, grade checks, etc), game day responsibilities (score reporting, who's on headsets, etc), and really anything related to the football team. I've shared our spreadsheet on this with some younger HC's in the building when they've expressed frustration with organizing and stuff and they've generally said it was a big help. |

Sit down and make a list of all that needs doing. Laundry, who stays late each day. If they are new to coaching make sure they know coaching is a hell of a lot more that game day and schemes

We have: Practice, organization and responsibilities Offensive outline OL schemes Defensive outline Special teams anything else people reccomend or ways to improve meeting? Teach them HOW to conduct DRILLS (it's all about organized "teaching")! Film drills to see if you are getting what you ask for (& expect). If you run your drills sloppy, and practice sloppy, they play sloppy. If you make them practice right, and make them do it until they get it right, they will do things right in games. Some of the MAIN points we teach are: 1. Always state the PURPOSE of the drill before beginning. 2. Walk through the drill before using it (especially for the first time). 3. Teach dummy holders HOW to hold dummies - they can screw up a drill in a heartbeat! 4. Be intensely involved, with the full purpose of the drill in mind. Don't be a cheerleader, but give praise for outstanding effort and execution. Be ready to stop the drill and start it over if the effort is not 100%. When a sprint ends the drill, it must be past the Coaches position - watch for players pulling up short. 5. Don't wasted drill time by having to send for balls, dummies, etc. Know in ADVANCE of practice what you will NEED during EACH period, and have it THERE waiting. 6. Stress toughness and continuous effort always. Teach the "INTERVAL" (continuous effort for 6 seconds). 7. Don't let them get sloppy when they are tired; don't let their concentration break! Stay on them about their stances, "interval" effort, etc. Don't except less than their best, and don't practice mistakes! 8. Don't try to coach too many people or too many things at one time. Isolate a few points of emphasis per drill. 9. Don't let the players cause you waste to time by keeping you talking (that is done in a CLASSROOM setting). On the field, tell the once, have them do it OVER & OVER! 10. Be careful WHO you choose to demonstrate (sometimes players are better than the Coach at this). 11. If sending or getting players with another Coach during the drill period, the SENDER is responsible! 12. Instill the "winning attitude" in everything they do!!! ETC. |

You should talk what are the concerns, what possible changes you are thinking about, player character injuries? Academics? film break down responsibilities Locker room responsibilities depends on what level, but administration issues that may affect coaches We have to call our player, are responsible for getting them to practice Travel if it necessary WEATHER DAYS game day responsibilities. you need to talk about social media, texting parent interaction uniforms coach dress,attire picture days attendance policy, players and coaches conditioning a lot more than you have, the x and o’s are really such a small part. |
