Coaches How often do your staffs get together to get ready for the next season? Lets start in Jan. of the new season. Jim We got a late start because we just hired a new HC. Starting two weeks ago we've met once a week to have each coordinator overview the system and then each position coach clinic his position. Because of the nature of our staff- very veteran and very stable- we do not need to spend as much time discussing procedure as a newer younger staff would. The new HC coached here for 15 years before taking a HC job elsewhere for four years so little will change. |

We have a very veteran staff. We met in January, March, and May before school gets out. We discuss anything from changes that need to address scheme wise to student academic concerns.

We have a new OC so we've been meeting once a week to discuss scheme and play selection. We'll continue to meet once a week till the season. Unfortunately, we have a bunch of new coaches.

January - March, me and the HC will talk once a week or so to talk about different areas we need to improve.
April - June- We will meet once a month to discuss things
July- 1 staff meeting and then pre season camps
This is year 3 for our staff so we dont realy need to meet as much. We might meet more often this year if we get a couple new coaches just to bring them up to speed on things but beyond that once or twice a month is it.

Coaches
Ok, here is the situation, 2nd year HC, I was JV HC now OC for varsity. We had a staff of 4 but the other 2 coaches are gone and we have 1 new coach who will be JV HC and help on varsity. I talk to the HC about once a week. I feel we need more meetings but the other coaches are young, married with children and time is hard for them to come by. I have found the the BS sessions get all the little fine points cleared up so everyone is on the same page. Am I a worry wart?

We have been meeting as a staff once a week on Tuesdays since the start of the new year. We've watched film of each of our games from last season and developed answers for the problems we ran into. We also saw what it was that we needed to teach better or develop better drills for. We worked on some motivational initiatives, academic issues, and equipment needs. We accomplished quite a bit in the last 5 months and I'm happy for that. We obviously won't have to meet as often in the years to come but for now this schedule for staff meetings worked out well. We are a young staff with several new members but I have no doubt we are much farther along as a group than we were a year ago. When it comes down to it, I suppose that is what it's all about.

YOU should know if you need to meet or if things are running smoothly. We're in Spring ball right now and we meet prior to practice to review today's plan and then again at the end of practice to go over how things went. Once spring wraps up we will probably "meet" 2 or 3 times formally over the summer and then again just prior to 2 a days. My point is, Have a coaches meeting because you need to! If you don't need a meeting, go home and be a husband and father!

IMHO we need more meetings and that is why I asked the coaches on this board. Jim |

Wasn't trying to sound off putting Jim. WHY do you feel you need more meetings? If you really feel that way, then let your HC know - "Hey coach, can we talk about our ......? I've got a question about ...." You said the BS sessions have been helpful so it sounds like everyone gets along. Don't think that if you are NOT meeting that something is wrong. If you NEED to meet, then meet. But if you start having meetings just to meet, the good feelings that you currently seem to have among the staff can deteriorate in a hurry. Just trying to help.

I coached youth FB for 15 years so I was curious how many times HS coaches meet that was why I posted here.

I agree with you that many times a HC doesnt call enough staff meetings and now that you say so I wonder if we meet enough. I feel like I put a heavy demand on my staff as it is but we still have much to do. I think I will call one for this weekend. |

Coach I know that the Coaches at the HS where I live have a lot of meetings but I thought that was because the HC taught at a different school, now I think that is why they have had only 2 losing seasons in 18 years.
