This last season the program I am with instituted joke time in the middle of Varsity practice. If someone had a joke or impression of someone they could do it during the time. We had one player who could do impressions of the coaches dead on. Since I work with the younger guys so during the regular season I missed the practices until playoffs started.
This was my first season with the program but I still got picked as one of the coaches to have an impression done of. It didn't bother me though as I figured if the kids didn't like me, they wouldn't have done an impression of me.
Any other coaches ever have a joke time/ impression time during practice through the season?

At my previous school we did Thursday Night Dinners for the team. During those we had a time segment where players could tell a rumor or do an impression, etc. It got a little touchy because players are not usually politically correct when it comes to humor, so I don't do it where I'm at now.

Oh we made sure that the jokes weren't off color. The kids knew that so they didn't try any of those jokes.

We had a skit night we would do. The upperclassmen from each position group (DL, OL, WR, DB, LB, etc.) would do a skit, usually parodying their "rival" group (OL-DL) or position coach.

last few years over the summer, usually during doubles hen everyone is feeling like crap we do something to liven the spirits. We go in our chalk talk room and we let the kids go up and do impressions of the coaches and other players. it is a lot of fun.
One year we made all the underclassmen perform a talent show for the seniors. a lot of impressions there too
as far as joked go, a lot of that just happens on the field, no set time, but we are somewhat relaxed and during indys sometimes we have our funny moments

I'll have to try the jokes/ skits sometime. One thing we have done the past 2 years after two a day's start getting boring, is a touchdown dance competition. The linemen can get very creative!!!  |
