I always do, if nothing else to chart the plays so I can include them in our off-season breakdown.

Other than that, I think that it is ridiculous that people would trade terrible film with an opponent. Last year, we had a coach send us film that wasn't cut properly, which meant our head coach had to edit their film to make it watchable. Had that happen this year. Was not pleased.

At the beginning of the season we have have 2 practice with just helmets, no more than 1.5 hours, 2 practices with just shoulder pads, no more than 1.5 hours, then finally we can have a full practice going no more than 2.5 hours unless you have a 1 hour break. Thus we have gone away from Double Sessions. 1. Dynamic Warmup + Ball Security Circuit 2. Special Teams 3. Off Indy 4. 7 on 7 5. Inside Run 6. Team/Sudden Change 7. Tackling Turnover Circuit or Escape from Baghdad 8. Def Indy 9. 7 on 7 10. Inside Run 11. Team/Sudden Change 12. War Drill Coach, how much time are allotted for each session?

We have an offensive staff and a defensive staff. When varsity is on offense, then JV is on defense. Then we switch. We do both O and D everyday but periods vary as the week moves forward. We practice about 2.5 hours. Sometimes slightly longer, but not usually. Daily Segments: Off: Indy Group Run Group Pass or 7 on 7 (depends on whether it is install or script) Team O Offensive Special Teams (Punt, PAT/FG, KO Return) **one segment per day M-W......all on Thursday Def: Indy Interior Perimeter/ 7 on 7 (After the first week or two these periods are done simultaneously.....OLB's will split time at both) Team D Defensive Special Teams ( KO Team, Punt Block/Return, PAT/FG Block) one segment M-W-F....all on Thursday Monday-Wednesday the periods may progress from more Indy and Small Group and less Team on Monday, to less Indy and Small Group and more Team on Wednesday. It is a progression depending on what we determine our needs to be. The positive is that all of our kids (JV and Varsity) are getting coached the exact same fundamentals and techniques by the same coach every day. Of course there are some kids that do not have major roles on the opposite side of the ball. They get enough reps to know the basics in case of emergency (usually in Indy and Group) but also serve as quality "scout" or "look" team players. When they are on scout team we make sure they play the same position that they play for us and we encourage great technique, fundamentals and effort. One thing that has been good for us is that during Team Periods we have an actual defensive coach running scout team D and an offensive coach run the scout team O. This way they are getting coached up even though they are on scout team. As far as structure staff-wise, we currently have 4 on offense and 4 on defense. I have had larger staffs but with 8 assistants this is how we do it. Offense: QB, RB, WR/Slots, OL/TE (TE's with WR/slots during 7 on 7) Defense: ILB, OLB, DB, DL.......but they could be divided however you feel is efficient for your needs Coach how much time do each of those periods get? Also, what is the difference between group pass and 7 on 7?

natenator , no problem Here is generally what we did. I will say though it wasn't etched in stone. My thought was that most of my guys didn't move fast enough to pull anything anyway so as long as their core temp was up we we're probably ok. 1. Russians (swing leg in front up high to stretch hamstring) 2. Quad Pulls 3. Walking Lunges - sometimes with a twist too 3. Sumo Squats (basically deep squats to stretch the groins) 4. 50-75% jogs 5. 90-100% burst Then I'd give them 1-2m to static whatever they wanted to I will add that we had probably already completed a 5-10m pre-practice routine as well before this. Lots of time that was either scheme review or pass pro work.

We started doing position warmups this past season and really like it. As an OL coach we did a few real quick dynamic stretches...took us no more than 5m than jumped into Indy.
During camp I'd also have a few light agility drills in there, things to work shuffles, pulls too. So we were moving and raising our core temp and doing specific.

We generally do. Most of the time it is an injured kid who is doing it for us.
There are some weeks we'll watch it with them for a few series, sometimes we won't. It just depends on time. We are a small program so our JV guys still have varsity roles they fufill.
I have in the off-season gone through and done some looking our our offense, more so looking at assignments and are there thing s our young guys are continually busting? those things the I look at how can we be more efficient/better with teaching and repoint them.

fballcoachgWe did that about 6-7 years ago. It was basically done like you said. When we did our indy everyone was separated off. The 7on7/Inside Run period was the exact same as you would normally do, just instead of the scout defense you were going against the opponents #1 defense. Also, I believe when the skill guys were doing there 7on7 time the OL/DL did 1 on 1 pass rush drills as well. Likewise, I think skill guys did 1 on 1 coverage stuff during inside run. Team O/D was just a typical scrimmage.

Yea I just attach the HDMI cord from my laptop. My tv does have a browser with it and I can get on Hudl through the browser but it runs too slow to be effective IPAD to AppleTV is the best! I'm not sure if my internet just isn't good enough or not but I've never had much success mirroring my iPad through my Apple TV. When Hudl had support for the iPad remote I used that a lot but that hasn't been an option lately.

Urban Meyer's book Above the Line. I thought it was excellent. Limited on the anecdotal big game BS and filled with insight about running a program. I all ready finished it today. Just got that today as a late Christmas gift. Looking forward to checking it out.

Agreed. Though it was really cool how all of the MAC teams support each other too.

As a general rule I believe that the week of practice will have a direct correlation in what happens on game night.
However, I've been in my fair share of games that have proved the opposite. For our week 5 opponent we had maybe the worst 3 days we had all year. Poor execution, poor effort, etc. We went out and beat a 4-0 team 41-20. So...
But I know I'd feel a whole lot better if we have 3 days where we are sharp and on the ball.

marinercoach1When you coach split up inside run to Half Line and 3 on 3 what type of runs are you working for both half-line and 3 on 3?

Mine is probably more complicated than what it really needs to be. Side one is all of the formations we can run our particular plays out of. Side two is the openers, 3rd downs, GL/Backedup, 2minute, Must Runs, 1st Down passes. Side two has about a third of it blank for me to just write in notes as needed and also has a section for the wristband.
Personally, the biggest advantage (in my opinion) of putting together the call sheet is that it imprints your offense in your head to the point of not needing to ever look at it. Kind of like the kid making a cheat sheet for a test and then not ever having to reference it.

coachpslThe way I read the new rules it seems like it is going to limit things, even for coaches who carefully plan practice. Generally we'd have about 50m of offense a day where we'd had a 15m team O period and a 10m inside run. For defense we'd have at least a 15m team D period. That's 40m right there, 10m over what we are supposed to have in a day. That's not counting any sort of thud you may do in a group/indy setting. Though, if you assign a speed under 100% to the drill and per-determine a winner it becomes allowable because it becomes "control".

An average play is about 10 seconds. You only count the time they are going live. Not the time they are jogging back to the huddle or getting coached up between plays. That equates to 360 plays per week. Who the f*** you gonna put in charge of keeping track of all these reps? Are we to get those hand held pitch count things to keep track for each kid. I am all for the safety, and we don't go full contact as much as we would like due to low numbers, but at some point the regulation of every freakin' thing under the sun has got to stop. I think if you are able to follow this interpretation of the rule then you would never even need to worry about counting time. 30m of actually contact time (according to this view) would almost never be achieved. If you wanted to count, just look at how many plays you ran and multiply it out by 8-10seconds.

If you use a hand shield for the double team drill, it definitely doesn't count towards your "full contact" Only if you have no predetermined winner and they are going to the ground! It is control, offense is going to take the guy downfield a couple of steps, doing the drill at 75% and not going to the ground. Control. Coach, according to the email we got in Ohio any time we use any sort of bags/shields it doesn't count against the contact time regardless of offensive speed.

In NJ, it's 90 minutes a week, no more than 30 a practice. There isn't any consecutive day stuff. Coach, can you share how you structure your practices to be in compliance with this rule?

coachdawhipSo if my OL are working a double team drill vs bodies and it's a drill that the OL are going to win and the DL we use are going to provide firm resistance but not trying to defeat the block then it can be labeled as control, regardless of speed being used?

Post by buckeye7525 on Jul 14, 2015 18:19:43 GMT -6
Exactly, the fact that thud/live are considered the same now really makes we wonder how you'll handle any of the Indy/Group work with OL/DL/LB.
A lot of their work almost has to be against another body for them to get something out of it.
Now, does it become allowable if there is a "winner" decided for all of these?

I know there has been some talk from the various state governing bodies about practice limitations being handed down and yesterday in Ohio we got ours.
I know there are other Ohio coaches on the board as well as well as others who may have experience with restrictions and am curious how to proceed with the above guidelines.
Anyway, here are the new rules in Ohio.
The following regulations apply to individual student-athletes. Position groups, etc., can alternate contact during the week to adhere to the regulations. Also, contact with soft equipment such as bags, shields, sleds, etc., does not count toward full contact limitations: 1. Limit full contact on consecutive days. 2. A student-athlete is limited to 30 minutes of full contact in practice per day. 3. A student-athlete is limited to 60 minutes of full contact in practice per week. 4. A student-athlete can be involved in full contact in a maximum of two practices in a seven-day span.
When more than one practice takes place in a day, full contact is permitted only during one of the practices. With the importance of recovery time to help minimize concussion risks, consideration should also be given to the timing of full contact during the next day (i.e. if full contact occurs during session 2 of two-a-days, there should not be full contact in session 1 of two-a-days the following day).
My understanding of what "full contact" means will be to include "live contact and thud" which come from the USA Football definitions (listed below):
1. Air = Players run a drill unopposed without contact. 2. Bags = Drill is run against a bag or other soft-contact surface. 3. Control = Drill is run at an assigned speed until the moment of contact. One player is designated by the coach ahead of time as the pre-determined winner. Contact remains above the waist and players stay on their feet. 4. Thud = Drill is run at competitive speed through the moment of contact with no predetermined winner. Contact remains above the waist, players stay on their feet and a quick whistle ends the drill. 5. Live Action = Drill is run in gamelike conditions and is the only time that players are taken to the ground.
So with that said, if you were to do 15m of team offense in a practice and 15m of team defense in a practice that would shoot your 30m of full contact for the day, correct? You would be unable to do an Inside Run/Blitz Pickup session? Also your OL/DL would not be able to do a 1 on 1 pass rush drill in their Indy setting? Or would you OL be able to even work a double team drill against themselves?
Really interested to hear other's takes on this and what your plan of attack is (or has been if you have been in a state that has had those types of rules). I'm sure by October this won't be something I'm even thinking about, but right now I'm perplexed on how everything will work out. It seems on the surface that for a 1 platoon team that has tried to do about 50m of O & D every practice that our schedules will have to drastically change.
