Our conference rules state that the kids cannot have any physical contact with each other (not even fit and freeze) NOR can we use dummy's for fit and freeze or low contact.
Cripes, this negates a lot of base technical stuff. Rule makers must be old school...hell week has to be HELL as in run your butt off and forget about base blocking and tackling drills.
Got any ideas??? (I just got Sumo done as the Chapter President came over to tell me all the above). Now I've gotta scrap huge sections of my practice plans for the week. Ideas please.

Coach, depending on the age. Now is a good time for three point stance. You can fit to freeze (fire) on air. Check first steps, very basic stuff but you can rep the heck out of that stuff. Also depending on the age expain what positions are, what the holes of the offense are. That sort of thing. Where do you coach? I think I may be coaching in your league in cali. I coah H.S. and youth.

Practice all your offensive plays on air. Work on your 2 minute offense as well then go over your defensive formations and practice your stunts or pursuit drills. You can also work on special teams, punting, kicking, place kicking, long snapping, etc.

You can use trash cans and cones as the defense and bird dog your plays.

All great ideas...we just started yesterday, so I'm still evaluating kids and will put a temporary depth chart together tonight and start installing tomorrow. I did bird dog (blocking) but wanted to add the fit and freeze so the kids can get that feel. Also did base tackling on air (load, explode, drive)...guess I'll keep doing that. I have 35 kids so conditioning won't be such an issue...just didn't want to run the heck out of the kids like the powers that be seem to want us to (old school). thanks for the ideas.
