Do you guys have your players grade themsleves during watching film?
I think I might try this, so see them get where they need to be.

Team I was with last year did... And I firmly believe, it adds that litlle extra impetus, to keep them fixated on their position and what's going on, so as to not watch the ball... The real key is having the other kids, that don't play, grade kids...  |

That's a pretty good idea. Seems like you would have to have some kind of checks in there to make sure they're being straight up.

if they are not playing, how can they grade?
I am assuming they are not playing because they don't know all the assignments, so the kid wouldn't know if the player did the RIGHT assignment or not.
I like the idea, though.
I think most of the kids would say..."hey, he got blocked" or "hey he made a tackle" so he did a good job....which is separate from grading an assignment.

They aren't playing because they aren't one of the best 14 ;D Hill Larry... We grade on the 7 principles... Alignment Protect your area Defensive Blow Read your key Recognize the pass Pursue to the ball Perfect tackling technique + or - and why... one of the 7 wrong... minus... If you aren't playing... you are grading the guy who is playing where you should be playing... the scores should be similar. |

I've had my kids do this before, and it was very useful. Of course, I'd grade them also. Sometimes the kids were harder on themselves than I was.

We've had kids grade themselves at 100 when we've graded them at 50 or less.
You must TEACH them how to grade. Keep it simple.
The old DC for Nebraska - McBride?
Had a thing for his defense called Terminators or Determinators. When a player is on defense did he Terminate the play (tackle, forced fumble, intercept, etc) or determine the play (take on a dbl team, beat the trapper, hurry the QB, etc)
A Termination received 2 pts. a Determination received 1. Total points are divided by the total number of plays a player is in the game. This gives them a production FACTOR rating.
PLAYER A - 33 plays (3 Terminations / 4 Determinations) = 10 points divided by 18 = 0.30
PLAYER B - 14 plays (2 Terminations / 3 Determinations) = 7 points divided by 14 = 0.50
Maybe Player B should get more reps in the next game as he is being a factor on half of the plays he is in for, while Player A is factoring just under one third of the time.
But you'd have to throw some sense into this because Player A might be all league and teams might want to stay away from him.
Just a way to grade.

I like the terminator/determinator idea.
The biggest thing with having kids watch film is they want to watch the film like it's Monday Night Football. I think you have to select plays and have them watch them and not just run the entire game. We would lose kids attention quickly, or it would turn into a bunch of ooh's and ahh's watching hits and tackles. The best film session I had with my kids is when I took the game film and grouped all of our midline options together, Inside veers together, pass plays together, etc. That way the plays were not sequential and this helped keep us from just watching the game all over again. It also hurts that we have coaches that just watch the game and not analyze the film, so the kids kind of take their cue from them.

yes
putting similar plays in sequence is a great way to keep it simple.
we do this in the spring and pre-season but during the season is a good idea.
