Wheels fell off last night. . . have some major work to do to bounce back! Kids got emotionally and physically beat early and some simply gave up!
78-8 Loss puts us at 2-1
Hope you guys did a lot better.

Doesn't your league have some type of a mercy rule? There is no reason for a youth league game ever getting past a point differential of about 30 (40 at the absolute most). A 70-point differential is simply inexcusable.

Tough win for us against a physical team. Lots of mental mistakes. 15 - 0 win puts us at 5 and O on the year. Big game this weekend! At home on the high school turf against a very talented team.
Good luck guys.

Week 5 for us. We were behind 18-8 in the fourth quarter and came back to win our 4th nailbiter in a row, 22-18. One of the most exciting games I've ever coached. We faced an UBSW sniffer team and our kids came out a little flat. I thought I had a great scheme to stop what they like to do, but early on our kids were sitting back too much, waiting for the play to come to them and just giving away yards. We played much better in the second half (esp in the 4th quarter). The game included a kickoff return for a TD (by them), a long TD pass when they somehow left our best receiver completely uncovered, a timely fumble recovery by us shortly after we failed on our last minute onsides kick attempt, and two TDs by us in the final 3 minutes of the game. Most seasons we only have 2-3 close games all season - this was our 4th game in a row that was decided in the 4th quarter or OT. I don't know if my heart is going to last through the entire season. We're now 4-1 on the season.

After a 3-0-1 start our kids( mitey mites) were starting to feel too good about themselves. We tried to warn them that in order to play well on sunday we need to practice well all week. The team we played this week has not lost in two years. We won the toss, received and scored in 8 plays. This was the last good thing that happened. Our kickoff was returned for a TD and on our first defensive snap we allowed a TD. We ended up losing 32-6.
We have a bye week coming up and I'd appreciate any suggestions on getting the kids confidence back up and getting them back on track. I would love to go hard on them but they are Mitey Mites and my gut says they need to have fun this week. Good luck to everyone.

Won 34-0. Up 27-0 at half. Kinda set the tone by running the opening kick back for a score. Did everything possible defensively to avoid shutting this team out, but to no avail.
We are now 4-0 and preparing for the home stretch, including our biggest game of the season in two weeks against a similarly talented team. We are off next week which will give us some extra time to prepare while trying not to overanalyze things!
Looking forward to the challenge... should be fun!

What age is a mitey mite baldeagle? Sorry for the ignorance. I wouldn't be any harder or easier on them after a loss, or a win either for that matter, but try to stay "on a even keel" with the kids.....you're never as good as you think, when you win.....you're never as bad as you think, when you lose = should be the lesson for all to learn. But like you said, since its a bye week, might wanna include a little more fun stuff in the practice plans

Our Mitey Mites are 7-9 yrs old with a weight range of 45-90lbs. Last year we were 1-7-1 with better players than we have this year. We currently are 3-1-1 with three games left. We are using Dave Cisars system with great results so far
From a technical standpoint we are ok. I just dont want the kids to lose their confidence completely which happened yesterday early on in the game. They were completely Devastated. I'm only in my second year of coaching, with last year only winning 1 game. I'm kind of in uncharted waters and want to draw on the wisdom of coaches who have been through the ups and downs of coaching.

We moved to 5-0 this week in our toughest game yet. We won 12 - 0... we were probably 2 more TD's better than the team we beat, however they came out in uniforms that were almost the exact same color scheme as ours... Our guys had a lot of trouble distinguishing who was who, especially in the passing game. We made a note as a coaching staff to get some different color jerseys for the playoffs as we will definitely see this team again.

Our seventh grade middle school team moved to 4-0 with a 34-0 win last night. Returned the opening kick off for a td, and dominated the los, with a lot of runs over 10 yards.
The other teams QB had to be taken away in an ambulance. It looked like a concussion, but they wanted to be safe. He had feeling and movement in his arms and legs, so hopefully he is okay.
We are scheduled to play the same team again next week, but their coach said if the QB is out, they won't be playing.

Week 4 We won 26 to 21. We are now 2-3 with all the tough teams behind us.
We scored on every posession except the last we took a knee on last 2 plays on their 1 yard line. We had only two defensive stops. Their drives were painfully long several fourth down conversions.
We had to play very conservative on offense. They had to sell out to stop our offtackle power play the we reversed them.
This week we play another single wing team with similar talent. Should be a good match up.
