Guys, I am a frosh DC and this week the Varsity will be playing a team with out JV and Frosh team. So, all the way up until TODAY we thought we had a bye week and planned on playing our own JV squad.
Well, as I was sitting in the Varsity HC office before practice today the AD came in and told me we have a game next week. The problem is we no NOTHING about this team. It is even in a different state and never played them. I will try to get of hold of them to see about exchanging film, but dont know how that will go.
I just wanted to see if any of you guys played them. It is Edwardsburg High School in Edwardsburg,Michigan.
Or maybe I will get lucky and one of their coaching staff is a member on this great site.
If I get nothing then How would I prepare for a team that I know absolutely NOTHING about? How would you do it?

Call them and ask them what their base offense and defense is.

I have never delt with something like this (only 2nd year coaching) do you find coaches are usually good at something like this.............. I guess they want to know as much as we do so I assume they would be. |

I subscribe to the John Wooden method of "it doesn't matter what THEY do, it only matters what WE do." Great week to see if what you are teaching them is sound. What are their alignment rules. If they are simple and sound, you should have NO problem. What are their reads/reactions. There are only a few offensive line schemes...how have you taught your guys to react to these? |
