Wanted to get thoughts on:
If you had two weeks of spring football: No pad, bags, sleds, etc (balls only), what would you concentrate on covering? Would you look to solidify scheme or concentrate mostly on technique.
I should point out that we are year 1 basically and are installing new offense and defensive schemes. I have a good O line teaching progression, but it is based on using chutes.
How do you keep O line moving on progression, when there is pressure to move on (ie; if line is working on first two power steps most day, how do you handle running plays with O if they haven't been repped on entire progression.
Offensively, we are running a fly/jet system with the following core plays
Jet/Rocket Down Trap Truck Reverse Q Trap Option Belly
PAP: Waggle, Belly pass, Roll, Ice pass
Drops: 4 quick packages
5 5 step (that can be converted to roll)

With the schedule and equipment limitations you mention, I would focus on getting your BASE run and pass schemes in and rep the heck out of them so your kids (and the coaches) can develop confidence. Conditioning and team bonding would also be stressed so when you do put the pads on in the fall, the foundation of your program will have been laid. Don't try to do too much!

I agree with fbdoc. Lay a solid foundation that your kids know and have confidence and then build on that later. If the skills haven't been learned yet in Individual period, it makes no sense to progress too fast with your Install. You would be reinforcing mistakes. Of course, others disagree. Rich Rodriguez throws the whole Offense at his players fast and he does alright.

I think you coach them just like you would inseason, just don't use bags...
GOAL OF SPRING BALL for OFFENSE - KNOW OUR BREAD & BUTTER PLAYS INSIDE AND OUT
Concentrate on 2-3 run plays (like fbdoc says your BASE schemes) and rep the hell out of the intracisies.
I would think that you can do much more in the pass game than in the run game with this setup.
Whole-part-whole teaching
1)Run the Jet on air to get the big idea 2)Drill a skill 3)Run the jet on scout D- if they have only learned how to take the first 2 steps to reach, then just don't freak out when everything else is wrong.
