they make a big deal out how Pete Caroll does so much to make it fun for players. i'd really like to hear some ideas for some things i can do to keep it fun, without losing anything from the maximum work output.

ditto and don't get angry at the kids, you can appear angry to get the point across at times, but it needs to be for a purpose other than simply gratifying your personal control issues |

As a player, I (and I know most of my teammates) used to like anything that was competitive. I'm sure you could make almost any drill competive and fun. Make things one on one with the whole group watching and getting into it. Create an atmosphere of excitment.

Enthusiasm and a positive attitude on the coaches' part goes along way (remember, it IS possible to chew azz with a smile on your face). Change-ups in the practice routine help avoid drudgery. Do "concealed running" for conditioning instead of sprints. Make team periods situational (1st and 10 = get four yards; 3rd and 7 = get first down; goalline O and D; 2-minute, etc.) instead of just running plays.

During 2-a-days we have a 10 minute "7 on 7" touch football period with no pads. Coaches officiate and keep it up pace to get some conditioining. Kids love it and it is fun to see the big boys (who all think they are RB's) to try and catch the ball. Do this about 5 times in 2 weeks of 2-a-days.
