Good idea to multiply each measurement by 10 or more. More accurate when dealing with such long distances. If you go 3 4 5 and are off just a quarter inch....you are now off a few feet when dealing with a football field. 30’ …then 40’…equals 50’ or 45’…then 60’ equals 75’ for example. As a part time coach and full time math teacher I fully second this approach. Use the 45' and 60' as the legs of the triangle and 75' as the hypotenuse (longside). Repeat for the other corners. If you have enough rope/string and 53 1/3 yards of width (160 feet) I recommend using some pythagorean theorem to get the following measurements: 80 yards/240 feet long, 53 1/3 yards/160 feet wide and a diagonal from one corner to the other corner of 96 yards 5 inches or 228 ft 5 inches, sort of mirror that on the opposite side of the diagonal and that should be the squarest field you get. After you have these measurements with the side lines and end lines, measure every 5 yards or 10 yards on both sides with a string going all the way across from one end to the next.

My first year coaching, many years ago, the AD and District Administrator called in the entire coaching staff and told us we had to "stop challenging the manhood of our athletes." Our head coach said, "That's what we're paid to do" and walked out. A couple years ago a head coach a couple towns over who was also the AD of the school, challenged the manhood of his players after the season opener. What he said got back to the parents and he was fired before the bus got back home. I later heard what was said and it was classic but it cost him his job. oriolepower...I'd love to work for that guy! coachbrek...We have to know what he said!

I have been part of a program that...
Had a karaoke night (had to pay for a local DJ)
Had a minute to win it (teams of 5-6)...google "minute to win it" to get ideas
Went swimming at the high school pool (needed to have a licensed life guard...but no extra cost)
It was more of a fund raiser, but one had a bowl-a-thon and another had a lift-a-thon...some kids like both of those things...
If you are short on time do a some sort of relay race carrying a water-melon... 40 yards down (20 yard shuffle right, flip shuffle left last 20, sprint back) 30 yards down (back pedal down and sprint back) 20 yards down (10 yard karaoke right, flip karaoke left last 10, sprint back) 10 yard down (bunny hop down and sprint back)
2 hand rugby or air force/ultimate football...
Give the winners a 20 oz. Gatorade...

Just ask football analysts. You mean the "experts" who insist on calling Jet Sweep a Reverse? We don't even run Jet Sweep and that irritates me. Drives me nuts too. A reverse can only happen if the ball started in one direction and came back in the other direction!

A simple fix that will involve more of your kids is to shift some kids to double up certain positions (C, QB) and then go two half + offenses going against a defense. When I was short on coaches this was a lifesaver. We would put together a Defense and two half offenses and go strongside plays with one and weakside with the other. Script up the defensive fronts you want to see as well as the play list and have one coach with each of three groups. OR.......Two offensive huddles can be managed by one coach while the HC/OC watches every snap. -------------------------COACH -------------------------E--T--N--T--B-------------------COACH -------------------------------COACH SE----------T--G--C-G---------------G-C--G--T--TE --------------------Q--------------------Q--------------------------WR ---------------H----F--------------H----F I was thinking similarly. For scout teams have two separate groups that rotate every play or 3 plays. Now there will definitely be some mismatches at times so this is easier said than done, but it is probably the best option. Outside of that, find a way to get multiple guys going in a drill. As an O-Line Coach, I really like to do the following for individual and group. Indy: Basic stance and footwork is done as one big group on a grid...allows everyone to take reps simultaneously...have the kids check their own feet while you view the entire group...make corrections as you see them...try to talk to each kid at least once a week 4-5 lines ready to work on sled...they can all go at once regardless of ability...teaches the guys that don't understand full speed what full speed is and they better not get their ass injured by an object that doesn't hit back...unless it is spring loaded! 4-5 lines ready to execute various blocks on bags and boards...I'll start at one end giving cadence "Set-Hit-Hit", watch, blow whistle, make quick comment (most often it is "Push off power foot! Go again.") Immediately following each whistle, the next OL knows to be in his stance ready to go. This allows me to go at a rapid fire pace and most importantly there is little wasted time waiting for the guys to get set. Lastly, for group I prefer to have to drills going side by side. That allows me to give the cadence, watch, monitor, comment and quickly move on to the next group. After half of the time allotted for group we flip the drill. For example, we would work the Varsity caliber guys doing the combo drill to the right. They go, whistle blows, JV/Freshmen caliber guys are set, hear the whistle and work combo drill on the left about 5 to 10 yards away. Whistle blows, quick comment, Varsity guys are ready and they go. If the group time is 15 minutes, the groups flip their directions with Varsity doing combos doing the drill to the left and JV/Freshmen doing the drill to the right. I'm sure you could easily implement a similar thought process with the Backs & Receivers. I know that for most of our stuff, the Backs and Receivers did the same thing whether it was run game meshes and blocking or play action passing game. I don't think enough about the defensive side of things, but most of our drills already were set up to work defensive techniques simultaneously so guys that went both ways were constantly working on both skill sets. In fact the only required addition for the defensive front was their initial stances and starts and team form tackling with guys about 5 yards apart, sprinting to a collision, punching the hands upwards like a power clean, grabbing cloth high on the backside of the ball carriers jersey, and running their feet. Emphasized running/pounding the feet and never tackled to the ground in this part of practice. We had every guy in the program pair up with someone of similar size/ability doing this and again it allows tons of reps to happen simultaneously...maybe even two groups alternating so no coaching time is lost with re-setting on the yard lines 5 yards apart. By the way, PM me with your e-mail if you are interested in seeing the O-Line manual and drills that I developed with the last HC that I worked with.

Trust your players - I always want to have one player on the field that I can assign and trust to "def*ckulate" the situation. Great word to describe how to work out of a cluster if they do happen...

Probably more time on defense, actually. On offense you know what you're doing, on defense you have to anticipate every wackyass thing that the rest of the league comes up with. Also, probably a good 1/4 of the time spent on blocking and tackling, aside from any specific O or D work. I feel the same way as a High School coach and agree completely regarding youth football. Once the season comes I feel that defense should definitely get the emphasis. Pre-season is more for fundamentals (pursuit, blocking and tackling) and installing the offense (as you have complete control of what you do on offense).

What really puts a team over the hump is that coaches and players start to look at the start being year-long coaching development (deepening an understanding for the game and most importantly the techniques needed within their schemes) and year-long player development (weight lifting and speed/agility training). All the great programs and even good programs are basically year long efforts now. They have the majority of the people involved believing in the year-long commitment and discipline.
In addition, coaches should constantly be looking to improve fundamentals, techniques, and scheme installation plans. Analyze why do you do what you do? How can we make our practices and drills more game like? How can I turn a drill into a competition? What makes things "fun," but productive for the players during this year long "grind."
Teams that get over the hump and stay over the hump don't start practice in August. They've been going since January or in many other cases, the day after their state playoffs ended!

For us, a key element is to make our workouts upbeat, challenging and fun. Even the littlest competitions at the close of each stage of our workouts have yielded great results in fostering a spirit or vibe or whatever you want to call it. Something as simple as placing a box on top of a garbage at the close of summer 7 on 7s, dividing the kids into three random groups and seeing how many times each group can knock the box off throwing a football at it has generated great enthusiasm. Similarly we used 2 hand touch rugby as conditioning from time to time. Biggest reason was that it was fun and tricked many kids into running harder than gassers. Especially fun to see the big guys trying to juke their way through traffic. Lastly, most of the coaches had fun playing with them...except it is reminding me that I am getting slower and slower each year.

Sounds like a very unique tradition that you, the players, the other coaches, the school and obviously the community are all fortunate to have. The break in the playoffs is still something "strange" as you said, but the game itself is clearly very special and a positive tradition like that is worth keeping!

We are having a rough season. Had some of our best weight room attendance in my 4 years as an assistant (14 or 15 guys at 90% or higher), considerable experience (5 3rd year varsity players), and an identical system/blocking scheme to the previous 2 years. However, we had our starting off. guard/defensive end tell us he had to work (we've maybe put up with that for too long), his back-up believing that he was only a defensive player and not committing to play OL also, our starting QB & 2 year captain be very non-chalant, a group of DBs that always argued with their position coach and be lazy in group drills, constant excuses when we asked guys to do their assignment, guys pouting or complaining about playing time when they've missed practice reps and on top of all that while having small program numbers (25 9th - 12th). We've tried to remedy things with calm and positive motivation, I've tried the louder approach, and the HC has tried a variety of motivational things include a survey of the team's views on a variety of topics, but we still have inconsistent Tuesday practices and have yet to execute for 48 minutes. In my opinion, the only positive has been that we have played hard in the last two games (lost 6-26 and 8-13), but have yet to execute all 48 minutes. It is frustrating because it feels like several guys that were around all summer our deciding to give up when there are still 3 more games left. We are definitely in that salvage as much as possible for the seniors that want to be around and do the right things, but find a way to get underclassmen playing time. Anyways, we are still focusing on the fundamentals, but when you talk about: needing to make it fun when all looks bleek for the good kids... ect...). what did you do that made it fun for your core guys that stuck it out and were trying to do all of the right things?

A wise coach once told me expect a loss for each soph you play on varsity, expect two losses for every frosh you have out there. With all due respect, I've heard this before, and I think it's a load of hogwash, even if you simply take it as a maxim and not entirely literally. We started 4 sophomores and 1 freshman on defense and 1 sophomore and 3 freshmen on offense. We went 10-2, finished second in our region and went to the second round of the playoffs... I think this depends on the type of football we are talking about. If you need freshmen and you are in the biggest classification/division in your state, then a loss or two for each freshmen is probably true... If you are like us or smaller (enrollment of 400), then some freshmen and several sophomores are often better than juniors and seniors and are regularly needed as starters. This past year we had 2 sophomores and 1 freshman start on both sides of the ball. We finished 4-5, but lost two games by a combined 8 pts. A 6-3 finish would have been the best record at our school since 2001. Now would we have been better off with more juniors and seniors...especially better juniors and seniors...YES, but with who we had, these 3 guys were 3 of our best OL, 1 of our best DL and 2 of our best LBs. So, like many things involving management of players, I think this depends on the situation surrounding each program. Bigger schools should rarely if ever need freshmen or even sophomores unless they are complete atheletic freaks. Smaller schools would get crushed without sophomores to fill out the starting 11s. If a kid shows up to the weight room and can out block/tackle all but 10 of the other players in the program, he should probably starting and contributing...

But, it is what it is. I imagine the rest of the nation is going to mirror my current teaching gig within a few years. Our administration has just conceded to the fact that we do our best but that there are far too many factors for us to control. The rest of the country is going to have to figure it out eventually because the "them teachers suck n' didn't know how ta teach me" excuse isn't going to fly in this economy. Don't want to turn this into a political debate, but if kids continue to learn that failure...repeated failure...and acceptance of failure is ok, the result is LOSERS. Maybe we are as fault as educators, but it seems like way to large of a group of students expect that all their needs and WANTS will be taken care of for the rest of their life. Their excuses will keep the economy exactly as it currently is... I get so ticked when kids at school tell me how their mom or dad is getting some sort of disability insurance when I see the parent walking around fine at the grocery store or anywhere out in public. Meanwhile, there's a show on TLC about a guy with both legs missing that installs satellites! Laziness, addiction and some of the alleged "psychological" disorders do not deserve an automatic pay check! I do feel for unemployed people...especially those with kids, but why should they have an unlimited number of unemployment checks coming...if you want work, there is work available...maybe it doesn't pay like the old job you had, but if you are actually valuable to another company you'd find a job with comparable wages. I suppose that this hijacks the thread some, but that is what I see as the biggest problem at my current school, with the current education system and with the larger overall economy and government system. Anybody that argues that some of the government programs/systems in place aren't already socialism needs to explain to me where the 15% of my pay check goes! Maybe I see most of it back indirectly...especially as a teacher (maybe public education is not necessary if people would value their children's future and were able to keep more of their income). I do always wonder what percent of taxes the average tax payer sees back and how much wealth is transferred to lazy/addicted people who pay NOTHING. I need to go to a different forum because this has me way to agitated right now!

Here's my "real world analogy" of NCLB. Let's say you're the foreman of a construction crew. Your boss tells you that he's setting a new quota of houses to build/side/roof (etc) and that you are responsible for meeting it. That's a good thing; people need to be held to standards and high ones at that. You manage a group a crew of employees, but, there's a kicker. You are solely responsible for meeting that quota; you can't hold your employees accountable if they are doing a poor job. You go to leadership workshops, bust your hump and find a way to motivate about 85% of your employees; they really get after it. BUT, you've still got that 15% that screws off, doesn't come to work (etc) and they are dragging the quota through the mud. And, to make matters worse, that quota gets bigger every single year but your funding for the building sites is decreasing. Now, if you could just hold your employees accountable for their poor performances and lack of work ethic, you'd be more likely to make that quota. And, to make matters worse, the company keeps telling all of the employees that they can all become the CEO of a major company some day regardless of their work ethic. Best explanation of the current state of education in America that I have yet to read! It is frustrating that I am still "responsible" for the 10-20% of students that choose to always screw off or worse yet, not show up 20 or more days out of the 180 day school year. Very frustrating! As far as our school district is concerned, our Sup. said about $1,000,000 in cuts was needed for next year. I think that I'm going to be ok because like coachcb, I'm a math teacher and nobody else in the district is certified in math. Education has definitely been more frustrating than I anticipated...thank goodness I have some aspect of football that I can focus on and control year round!

I hear ya brother. In am thankful everyday that when I was in college I was taking math and science class for class until they conflicted and my advisor...my old HS principal...said "if you always want a job, teach math" Last year we had 3 long term subs for math, none of them certified in math, 2 special ed and one PE. They hired 3 new math teachers this year one of them resigned mid year (because or principal is a 20 times a week classroom visitor) and district asked her if she would be interested in moving to the middle school...where they couldn't find a math teacher for their opening. It's funny, I'm certified in PE/Health and I applied for a job at a school I had been coaching at for 3 years. I have an awesome letter of recommendation from the head of the PE dept.; a guy that has been teaching there for over twenty years. I didn't even make the first cut and the administration knew me by first name and I had nothing but a good reputation at the school. I get my math cert, fill out the state wide application and I get no less then 21 letters in the mail from superintendents around the state in two weeks, asking me to come teach at in their districts. And, people wonder why I took the math position down here when I could be teaching PE in the middle school next door. Same thing for me! I was hired, in the classroom and teaching 2 weeks before I graduated because of my math certification! I'm not sure how other states work, but in Michigan you are able to teach a subject at the 6-12 grade level if you have at least a minor and passed the state MTTC test in that subject. I highly recommend to aspiring coaches to find a way to be certified in math for the same reason as you guys. Best part is that another math teacher moved into admin. this past year so my job is extremely safe unless the high school would lose over 100 students. I don't think that I'll need it, but the security attached to the demand for math teachers is always nice! The only grief that I ever had with admin. has been constant bugging to attend school improvement meetings after school (monthly staff meetings are always before school for us). I flat out told them that I felt that I did more to improve the school by building the handful of relationships with students in the weightroom so I'll be there instead. I still take the teaching extremely seriously...I feel my purpose 1st and foremost is to help all kids, but I only feel obligated to go out of the way for the football guys. Just like us coaches do more for the school than "teacher only" staff, football players have committed themselves to doing more for their school than "regular students."

Just my opinion, but you clearly are indicating that "Rudy" is a kid you can count on. Our program slogan is "Count On Me" and in my short coaching career (8 years now) I've concluded that this is the most important factor at the high school level. There has to be some way you can give him a legitimate shot.
How small is he and how does his size compare with your competition? All of my 8 years have come at two class C size schools (300 kids & 400 kids) and I have seen some very undersized kids contribute in the defensive front just because they were tough, learned quick and understood their role/assignment.
Are the other kids that will likely play in front of him seniors or fellow juniors? I would think this type of kid would understand this for a season and keep working.
Just give him the chance to contribute somewhere...there has to be some drills that can let you match up "Rudy" vs. your the guys with better measurables. I'm not saying that he automatically gets the chance to be on the playing field, but explain to him that he will get his chance on the practice field and in drills. Best of luck! I don't envy your decision coach.

I don't know a good line coach who isn't super anal about footwork... Where there is a false step, I will find it. Because son, every time you false step, a little piece of me dies inside. Does it feel good to be killing your coach, son, because that is what you are doing. Everytime you fail to use inside footwork, my heart tightens up and I get shortness of breath. Right now, I think there are 2 of you because I am so dizzy from lack of oxygen to my brain. Everytime you take the wrong angle, I nearly blackout from the trauma it does to my internal organs. I have a wife and kids, they depend on me, I have a future full of grandkids and camping trips, THAT I WILL NEVER SEE BECAUSE YOU KEEP FALSE STEPPING! YOUR LITERALLY KILLING ME SON, DO YOU WANT THAT ON YOUR CONSCIOUS? DO YOU? &%$#! I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU FALSE STEP ONE MORE TIME I WILL HAVE A BRAIN ANEURYSM, AND MY LAST ACT ON THIS EARTH WILL BE TO FILE YOUR HEAD OFF WITH A QUARTER AND TAKE A DUMP DOWN YOUR THROAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!I might use that the next time I see a false step. Might get the point across better then repeating, "check your d*mn feet" and "position step d*ammit." Completely over the top and hilarious! I do firmly believe that the speed/quickness that a kid plays with anywhere on the field is extremely important. However, that speed and quickness is often a result of moving their feet so in the end, everything comes back to #1) knowing where you have to go and #2) knowing how to get there. Futhermore, since knowing the "HOW" takes longer to learn and teach, the footwork & other techniques is really the most important element of line play and probably almost all position play in football. My head coach and I have debated this before. For better or worse we've decided that assignment is #1 because all the technique in the world doesn't matter if you are blocking the read which leaves another defender who should be blocked to end up in the backfield. However, after the player understands the assignment, the technique is ultimately what allows him to execute the assignment successfully. I do know that we've made a greater commitment as a staff to really analyze what type of position steps our linemen need to be able to execute and developing a logical teaching progression. Bottom line is they must be able to 1) scoop/drive step on base blocks, 2) bucket step on to combo blocks and 3) down step on double teams/release to LBs. So our progression became: -Stance -Starts on a grid (1st two steps as part of a scoop, bucket or down step) -Executing the same footwork on boards against a dummy or man when they get pads on -Refining those techniques further in live 1 on 1s -Putting it together in 2 on 2s (Zone Combos & Veer Double Teams) -Some sled work is thrown in to emphasize rolling the hips and pounding the feet while conditioning Anyways, our o-line was the best it was this in my three years at this school after the greater emphasis on the fundamentals of blocking. They kept us in games and allowed us to win 4 games and come up just 8 points short in two others. Now we need to do the same thing for our d-line...which is my off-season assignment...to the defensive boards!!!

Coach, I don't have any of the experience of the other most the other guys have commented. However, I do think that I have some perspective from having the oppurtunity to experience both "losing" and "winning" seasons as a coach and as a player.
I've played in a program that went 4-5, 3-6, and 2-7 leading up to the start of my high school year. The school was about the same size with just over 300 students. My freshmen year I played on JV and we went 1-8, varsity went 1-8. Sophomore year I was up and part of a 1-8 varsity squad of 16 guys, while the JVs went 4-5.
These first two years were guided by a coach who had two stints as HC, one extremely successful one from about 1965 - 1972 and from 1988 - 2000. He knew football, but several kids in school would not even come out supposedly because of him.
Starting my junior year, the old guy retired and was replaced by a 1st time HC who had been an assitant for a few years. The rest of the coaching staff remained in place and they had been doing a decent job of getting a legitimate BFS weight training program going. We somehow found a way to get 6 wins, make the playoffs for the 3rd time in school history, and win our 1st round game for the 1st ever play-off win in school history finishing 7-4 the year after we were 1-8. My senior year in 2002 we went 7-3 and the alma mater has made playoffs ever since.
I guess what all of this is pointing to is that you may not be abandoning the kids if they have already quit on you. In my opinion, based on your comments, you are worried that you have lost some of the kids or momentum that you may have been building coming into a season in which you needed/could have used continued measureable success (4 or 5 wins). So in short I am seconding many in saying that if you have done your best, there is nothing more you can do. A move might be best for both yourself and the kids. Perhaps you feel like there are enough kids that are still "program" kids that you might find more of a tangible break through. To me it sounds like you feel you've made a valiant attempt, but 6 years of long, hard work has drained the enthusiasm out of you because you are not happy.
As a coach I have developed an appreciation for the time commitment involved in doing things the "right way." The staff that I am an assitant on meets 1 day a week for 2 to 3 hours during the off season (5 to 6 hours during the summer) and 8 hours a week in season. I know it is less than some other staff on here, but it definitely puts a strain on the relationship between myself and my wife at times. My wife and I are expecting a newborn in March. This might change things even more. I know that I am miserable to be around when things are not going good. I'm not sure my wife would deserve that out of me for the next 30 years.
Anyways, if you have a family and this is impacting them than I think you have already correctly made up your mind about what you will do. I'm guessing you have requested our comments to confirm that it is OK TO SOMETIMES BE SELFISH. I'd argue that you choosing to be selfish is a form of SELFLESSNESS because you don't want to sell the kids short. If you have lost the drive to work with this group of kids in this program, than you are making the correct decision in leaving. My only other question would be whether or not more time removed from the season will ease your frustrations and maybe change your mind?

In college a kid told the coach he had to take a dump in the middle of practice he never came back. That's happenend twice. The other kids still joke around that the kids must have been really backed up and our still in the bathroom!

I think I cope with losing well...hopefully not too well! The last three years I've been an assistant with a program that has struggled very similarly (5 winning seasons since 1977). The HC is a former player from 1 of those 5 winning seasons.
Our first year together we didn't win until week 9 and finished 1-7. Last year we started to breakthrough and finished 4-5 with only 3 seniors so we were looking forward to a great 2010. Unfortunately we didn't show up week 1 and lost 0 to 54. Week 2 we played great offense but no defense and lost 56 to 58. This past week the kids probably played the best game of their life against a perennial playoff team that had outscored us 105 to 22 the two previous years, but still came up short 14 to 20.
I guess what keeps me and the HC going is that we look for the positives and point them out to the kids (of which there were many the last two weeks). We focus the kids on how they are so close to becoming a winning football team (sometimes it is just one block or one tackle on one play like it was the last two weeks). And when it is all said and done I guess you just have to live with the fact that the kids either decide/have the ability to execute and finish or they don't. If we've done all we could as a coaching staff in the practices leading up to the game then we've given the kids the best chance at being successful. Hopefully, after watching your film you'd be able to see many things you emphasize in practice showing up in the games. Try to fix what is not there. Stay realistic. Keep things in perspective (how much of it is you and how much of it is the kids). And like many of the other recent posts, stubborn determination might pay off sooner than expected...it did back when you were a player!!!

If the freshman kid(s) are better than go with one of them. Better off having both freshmen that might one day be the varsity QB getting experience than a kid who is ultimately not going to be the QB. Pick the freshman QB that seems to be more of a leader and tough kid...he'll more likely be the varsity QB in a year or two and play him.
Just my two cents...
