I am trying to come up with a practice schedule where I can have Varsity/JV/ and Freshmen all coached by Varsity coaches. I am going to combine the staff so that the 8 varsity coaches and 4 freshmen coaches function as one staff. Has anyone attempted this before? Can anyone share an established plan that you feel has worked well?

Practice Freshmen before school....
practice varsity/jv after school... when varsity is on offense, the jv is on defense... then switch.

Coach,
We have been doing this now for 3 years and we feel it has been a great way to teach all the kids in the program. Here is how we break it down. 3 Varsity coaches, 2 JV coaches and 2 9th grade coaches. The head coach stays with the varsity on offense and defense. So we have 4 coaches working with the varsity at all times and 3 working with the 9th and 10th grade.
Monday
JV plays game
9th grade alone
varsity alone (film, wgt room, game plan, base game plan)
Tuesday/Wednesday
9th/10th grade first half of practice - defense and punt return and kickoff (WED - punt return and fg block)
11th/12th grade first half of practice - offense and punt and kick return (WED - punt and FG)
(flip flop after 55 minutes)
Thursday
9th grade game
10-12 review all special teams and special situations, 2 min offense, etc..
Friday
9th grade lift and short practice
10-12 Varsity game
Saturday
optional video and wgt room

Anybody who wants to be organized, prepare their team as best they can, and have a well-coached team (as well as vertical continuity in their total program) needs to read the the above from coachjd.

We have an 8 man varsity staff and a four man freshmen staff. I have always "flip-flopped" had 4 offensive coaches working with varsity and 4 defense with JV and then switch midway...I want to incorporate those 4 freshmen coaches and freshmen, and am looking for some detailed scheduling ideas...Keep them coming, I appreciate it!
