I am first year DC for frosh. There are two coaches myself and the OC. During team I am having trouble watching EVERYTHING. I find myself moving ALL OVER the field trying to get the best angle to see as much as I can. I even spend some time on the Offense side to see where my LBers are keying, but I feel I am still missing a lot. Anyone have any advice on the best place to stand or anything else that can help me?
I also, thought about breaking it up. Like this play I will concentrate on the line, then the LBers, and the DB's. Any advice?

you need to rely on your position coaches to teach the correct thing. Dont try to watch everything, just watch one or two.

I always watch from the offensive side. this gives me a clear view of what the offense does. once I can clearly see the play develop, I know where everyone belongs. If I stand behind the defense sometimes i'll miss what the oline or rb's do. I'll tell you one thing that really bothers me is when we scrimmage and there are like eight coaches standing in the secondary about twenty yards deep. saw this last sat

Coach if you don't already film practice and make time to watch a bit with your players everyday- either right after practice or before practice the next day. You'll never see "everything" but the tape does and being able to show kids on tape what they should have done or did do is much better then telling them.

I used to stand behind the defense but I've realized that
A. I was in the way; and B. I could see better behind the offense.
We script every group and team period. In your case that's even more important, IMO. With a script you know exactly what play is coming vs. exactly what defense. That gives you a clue where you need to watch on each play.

Works pretty well for clearing out the secondary of coaches. That really ticks me off. I like to stand behind the O to get a look at how we react to the plays and also out of self preservation, I don't want some one watching me get trucked over and over in their film session LOL |

I like the film Idea, but who is going to tape it? What equipment? We are freshmen, we are lucky that we have balls and a tee.
I will be putting a script together tonight.
