I have had kids interested in playing there before. When i called or e mailed and attempted to get more information, I left messages and never heard back. It may be a great program, my only experiences with them were sketchy.

No sir. Thanks for asking. blb had me download this ( Avast Antivirus Cleanup Premium) and run the scan. It showed that I had no issues but still when I logged into Coach Huey it was back to normal speed. I used the free scan from Avast. He said it had happened to him and that's how it fixed it. I guess that's the bad part about getting addicted to this cite. LOL. I was pretty much without it for a bit. I hope this helps all of you. I will try to pm you guys to let you know that at least this advice from blb fixed my issue.

Is anybody else experiencing really slow processing on this web site lately? If you were and you fixed it pleas message me and tell me what you did. Once I click on a topic it takes a couple of minutes for the material to appear. I know it's not my wifi or anything because I'm experiencing no other problems internet wise. It's only Coachhuey. Not being critical of this site or administrators or anything like that. Just needing help getting it back to how it's always been. Thanks in advance.

Schutt helmets have been the most reliable for us. The helmet doesn't have a lot to do with protecting the brain from the whip-like motion that can cause brain injuries. They are necessary but don't absorb concussion causing hits.

Shorten practice by 5 minutes every other week. By the end of the year, practice will be 30 minutes shorter. It makes it easy only finding 5 minutes to take out instead of finding 25 minutes in week 8. You're right that does sting. Thanks

Coaches, I'm always concerned that our kids just get tired of the grind of the season and lose their sharpness because they are "getting tired of playing". What do you guys do to stave off the mental effects of a long season? We are a winning program that has the potential to play several rounds into the playoffs. Losing is not an issue this season. Thanks in advance for your ideas. From an outsiders perspective, it appears as though the parameters of Texas High School Football is so much different than most other states that the suggestions offered in most of the previous posts, although good, are somewhat irrelevant. The fact that you are posing this question is a positive reflection on the quality of your football program and is indicative of why you project your team's ability to make a deep play-off run. You guys obviously have a terrific program. Details, details, details...Coaching success is about more than just X's & O's. This is an outstanding post...it will be interesting to read everyone's suggestions, especially those from some of your Texas football coaching colleagues. I have always been a fan of Coach John Gagliardi and the success that he had at Saint John's Univ. in MN. His book "No-How Coaching" presents some interesting ideas regarding deviating from the norm in football coaching principles. Thanks man. Football is important here. It is a vehicle for character building with our HC. We do things the right way and he's raising better young coaches and young men. Don't really know why some of the kids are "getting tired" of. Just need to to see if there is something I'm not seeing.

Make sure they are excited to play football when the season starts - don't burn them out in Off-Season (especially summer).
Keep practices moving but with frequent breaks. Get as many kids involved as much as possible.
Never practice longer than 2:30. There's always tomorrow.
Consider cutting practice down late in the season, especially if weather is a consideration.
Monitor the amount of full-contact work during the week. Don't beat them up or wear them down.
Play as many kids as possible.
Give them their weekends off. We practice 2 hours on Monday, 2 hours on Tuesday and 1 hour 20 minutes on Wednesday and not at all on Thursday for a Friday game. That is actually something we feel like we can cut a little bit on Mon/Tues. maybe.

I can respect your two cents. They might be valid points. Probably less for us because most of our kids play 2,3 or sometimes 4 sports. Definitely think you could be spot on for a lot of kids. Do any of you do anything to stave off the "grind" of football season?

We got a loaner from a large team sports sporting goods company, Athletic Supply-Odessa, Texas until Schutt could get the 2X helmet to us.

I don't have any pictures but they're not bad. Of course it's not as good as those that are ordered matte black originally but they eventually would be. But we have never had to get them repainted during the season. Of course our good luck with them may be in part to the fact that we wouldn't knock foam off a root beer the last couple of years.

No problem. You didn't come off as a jerk. But you obviously have more knowledge about youth football. Unfortunately, in my state we can have no contact with the youth leagues. If you work with youth programs, you deserve way more respect than any of us can give you, anyway. I agree with everything you say. I can't imagine 7 year olds busting up very much equipment.

We don't see molded plastic in our part of the world, didn't know they were still in existence. Saw one shatter and cut up a kids face in a JH game once. But I suspect that yeah, they are lighter than, or as light as, molded plastic. But I was really comparing them to the rubber coated metal ones we see most often. Titanium is definitely lighter than rubber coated steel but there is no way it's lighter than hdpe or thermoresin. They should never shatter like that within their intended use, but I don't believe that they're indemnified for HS players. They're appropriate for youth players who basically just need bumpers. You asked. I gave you my best answer. Not that important to me. So you win. Stick with plastic.

What's the supposed advantage of a titanium facemask? Titanium grills are super light. They are just a little bit flexible too which makes them stronger and more durable, supposedly. But are they worth the extra $50? That's for you to decide I guess.

We use Schutt exclusively, because we never have to fix helmets during the game. Riddell are good helmets but seem to lose a screw or break a piece at just the wrong time. We have about 20 of the vengeance helmets. Kids loved them.

We created a shield decal and a T shirt with the shield on it to reward our kids. Has more to do with a fitness test given before the 1st game that reveals who put in the work. The kid's get after it because they want the shield decal on the helmet.

We did a big fund-raiser for new weight equipment. I realize yours will be a lot higher $$$ but we had tremendous success off of a "Lift-a-thon". Kids went around getting pledges from parent's, friends, community members, etc. We then had the kids max out on Bench, Clean, Deadlift and Squat. Each kid was required to get 10 pledges, but some got as many as 50 or so. With over 300 kids in the athletic program, grades 7-12, we raised $100k or so. Not your total need but a good start. The added benefit was the kids worked hard in the weight room leading up to the event because they wanted to do well.

I agree with larrymoe. But as far as fit/ feel/maintenance. Our kids go for schutt everytime. We use schutt because we aren't always working on them in the sidelines like we do Riddell. For what it's worth we went to a concussion seminar last summer. They explained that a concussion is an intra-cranial injury. Headgear does nothing to prevent that. Any sudden stop of the head allowing the brain to "bang" the inside of the skull can cause a concussion. We've had 10 in 3 years. 1 in cheerleading(a fall), 4 in basketball, 2 in baseball, 3 in football.

I would treat it as if I had caught him doing it myself. His parents have trusted you to do the right thing, do it. What would you do if you had caught him yourself? You nailed it. I never saw the OP ever say the parents weren't also dealing with it. They may have previously told him, they would do this, that and the other as consequence. One of which was inform the coach. Apparently they believe the OP stands for something. I say you follow your code of conduct and deliver the message. Don't fear the consequences of your actions if you do.

My kids prefer the GST over anything else and I think they're the best as well. But I do hate buying 10 new ones every year. I love it when I have a QB tell me be prefers the $25 GST composite ball to the leather ones. But I still get a few leather ones because I've never seen a composite ball worth anything in wet weather. Thx for the tip on the rebirth of the balls. I will hold onto them a bit longer.

We got rid of the riddell helmets and are completely sold on the Schutt. They are both good helmets but we got tired of spending so much time fixing the riddell revo. That little funky looking square piece that holds the face mask on on the sides. Wears me out. When something breaks because you tighten it too much, I'm bound to get ticked off. Happened in a game and I vowed not to buy another revo until they fixed that. It's still there and nearly 70 helmets later I'm still buying Schutt.
