I'm curious to find out how many of you organize your practice time. We practice three days a week in-season. The past three years I've made one day primarily defense, one day offense and the third day everything/pre-game review. This year I'm considering for the first two days running a defensive portion and an offensive portion, keeping the third day the same.
Secondly, at times, I've done a tackling circuit almost every practice. Does this seam an efficient use of time?
Thirdly, how much heavy hitting do you do? Traditionlly for offensive group and team I run thud and for defensive team sessions we get after it. What say you?
Thanks guys.

Fourthly, how do you run your defensive team sessions? Running a scout team is almost always a waste of time in my experience.

1 In the past we have alternated nights. Thinking about changing that up
2 We tackle circuit every night, all season long. Form, not looking for snot bubbles!
3 We usually have some indy drills that get pretty physical. Then have some live work in team.
4 More Indy than anything. Some team walk thru against upcoming opp, and Rabbit. Indy the basics as well as upcoming opp.

2 nights in season contact ,day before the game=walk through. 1. One day offense...10 min Spec teams One day Defense. 15 min Offense Fundy. Sat Review
2. Yes
3.We do our heavy hitting in our circuit and team.Circuit is huge form time, we progress up the speed ( 50/75/ 100).We are a really big not taking people down unless its basically on first contact, because my believe in that is when injuries happen when someone is twisting and turning their own player to the ground, I feel you have good form and make the hit, hold on, your buddies will be there.
4.We break our practice plan down very thouroughly.If you would like a copy PM me, I don't feel like typing it all out. Basically, Indy/ Pass Skelly/ Inside Run/ Screen/ Opt Period/ Team

1. 3 practices a week, ST every day, O/D Indy every day, alternate O/D Group and Team on first 2 days, and do both as scout team/pre-game on 3rd day: We start with Special Teams every practice. (10 min) We do a Blocking and a Tackling period every practice (5-10 min each) We have Off and Def Individual every practice (10-15 min each) Then we do Offensive Group/Team one day and Defensive the next.
2. Absolutely.
3. Most of our contact comes in smaller drills (3 on 3, 1 on 1, tackling, pass rush, etc.) Most of our team is bird dog and footwork and reading keys, making sure everyone is on the same page.
4. I have enough scout offense on the field to make sure we align to formations properly and give everybody their read/key, so it's mostly all the skills. I use trash cans for the O-line.

Coaches: Thanks for your input. Confirms my thoughts of doing Off and Def indy's everyday.

I never really go lite hitting, but it's not like we hit all practice. Normally there are lots of bags, sleds, technique work. I normally like running scout teams. It's great when your defense is ready for what's thrown at them. Generally I break up defense into indys and team.

Coaches: Thanks for your input. Confirms my thoughts of doing Off and Def indy's everyday. I committed to doing 5 minutes of form blocking and tackling everyday, and our blocking and tackling improved by leaps and bounds. I'm sure indy everyday would improve it that much more.

In addition, we also start every practice with Fight Club. --Dave

I'm curious to find out how many of you organize your practice time. --The practice plan is always designed on the previous Sunday with my DC. We go over all the drills we'll use, as well as improvements we need to make based on our game video. But our youth practice schedules are not scheduled to the minute like our high school practices. Attendance and promptness is much more sporadic at the youth level. No sense planning to work with your Backs from 6:15-6:30 when one is late, the other is sick and another had a "special project" due. "I've done a tackling circuit almost every practice. Does this seam an efficient use of time?" --We hit at every practice. "Thirdly, how much heavy hitting do you do? Traditionlly for offensive group and team I run thud and for defensive team sessions we get after it. What say you?" --A lot. More than a lot with the younger guys. --Dave
