We are looking into getting more practice time for our JV players during the same time frame of the varsity practice. We would like to almost come up with a JV practice that runs parallel to the varsity paractice.
Has anyone here done this, or is doing this? I would like to get some ideas of how other schools run their JV programs.
Thanks,
Throwitdeep

We do, but our staff only coaches one side of the ball, and coaches both JV and varsity. So while the varsity is practicing defense, the JV is practicing offense, and then we switch.

We run two practices. One for the Varsity team (starters on both sides of the ball) plus juniors and top alternate sophomores. Comes to about 2/3 of the overall team. One for the Freshman team and about 3/4 of the sophomores.
When the varsity team is watching film and thus doesn't need the JVers running scout team for them. We run JV vs Freshman scrimmages.

It was time consuming, and a pain in the butt... since the game schedules in my district were FRESH/JV back to back on Wednesdays, JR high on thursdays, Varsity on Fridays (with some thurs/saturdays thrown in due to field availability) ... we would practice the JV and Freshmen on Saturday mornings while the Varsity stretched, ran, and took ice baths/treatment. I was 100% against this.....until we started to show some good improvement on both of those squads. It did make for a very long saturday...
I think a key component is HOW many coaches on the staff do you have, AND what type of practice are you looking for?

I think based on what I have seen this year that the jv should practice with the varsity during indy and group time but then during team time they should probably go get some reps on their own when its feasable.

We have 8 Varsity coaches and 2 JV Coaches.
Our staff is split into OFF and DEF. We got into the habit of when it is Group or Team, we used the "best of the rest" against our starters. We just seem to have a lot of "extra" hanging around during practice. We wanted to practice our JV at this time, but at times it is too difficult due to numbers. (I.E. not enough to run a full Offense or Defense with the JV).

we have a separate jv staff of 3 coaches. our practice is similar to the varsity schedule, but separate from them:
indy d
group d
team d
break
indy o
group o
team o
we follow this schedule monday through wednesday and play on thursday
we also use the period for special teams and either extra group or team time
it has its pros and cons
i think it helps the kids on jv come together more as a unit and grow into good players.

When we break up into individuals we have the varsity and JV's together and then break up when we move to team time. We have two separate coaching staffs for both programs, with the JV coaches being position coaches as well.

Once upon a time a long time ago when I played. We Had began practice seperately for warm-ups, indy, team for Frosh, JV and Varsity. Later we would come over and run scout team for varsity. Then we would go back and scrimmage either ourselves or the frosh squad.

Darn,
The place that I coached this year we played on Monday and got a total of 10 reps on tuesday and Wednesday combined, and NEVER EVER EVER practiced defense. We were okay on the jayvee though defense gave up eight points a game and offense averaged 10 a game.
Trust me it sucked espcially when the HC asked me why we couldn't be better. I replied "Because we get ten reps in two days and then don't get another one until the game on Monday."

I am at a small school and we are looking into this for our freshmen. We normally have around 45 players total (9-12) and we have 6 coaches. We would like to pull the freshmen aside more and work with them but we can't decide the best way to do it. Would you guys recommend splitting the staff (offense/defense) and practicing freshmen O while the varsity did D, or practicing together in indy and dividing up for team/group drills?
