Did a search and couldn't find anything on this topic.
Does anyone have a written program skills curriculum?
We are trying to tie together our program beginning with 4th grade and I am curious to see what other coaches have put together.
What skills and at what level of mastery do you expect at each level?
What about your schemes? How do they progress from level to level?
Thanks for the input.

I always think this a good idea (the buzzword we have out here is vertical teaming). That being said I've never worked younger than MS and am uncertain as to what I'd expect a 4th grader to know. I know when I use to take the newbies in MS I'd work on stances and knowing the names and jobs of of the positions.
Hell having spent the last couple years in a HS that has no feeder program I end up doing this with some of the frehman.
I would not worry too much about schemes, etc. A few plays on each side of the ball should be all you need. HOWEVER, talk to the HS/MS HCs and try to use their basic (and I mean most basic) terminology. That way it becomes second nature to them.

I might have some things on athletic alignment that would help. For a good resource, look at Liberty High School in Kansas City. They are a "model" in this. Where in WI are you?

Madison area.
How could I look at Liberty? Is there a contact person there?
I'd appreciate any help. We know what we want done, but it's difficult when you start to organize this all with a blank piece of paper.

You'd think with the plethora of coaches we have on this board we could put a committee together to come up with a document like this.
Committee anyone? Chair? Vice Chair? Thinking 6th grade and lower, 7th/8th grade, freshman, and a couple of Var reps?
