Like you guys I am a football junkie. However, I don't have assistant coaches that can or will commit to the same degree. My DC is also our basketball coach and he is doing a solid job balancing the two sports, there are a few areas I have discussed with him to improve and he is making an effort. However, he has his off season workout now also. The other assistant coach on staff coaches baseball and I am hopeful he will join our skill development next week. The rest of our staff is not at the school.
I am not as worried about the spring as I am the summer and during the season. I have 102+ kids on a list that say they are playing football. You and I both know that all of those wont be eligible or play but I feel solid that 85+ will. We avg about 63 a day lifting and about 25+ are coming from the middle school. My question is how can I best organize and run a practice with limited coaches? We have two coaches on staff (DC and the asst baseball coach) and one community guy that has job issues, one that coaches at MS but comes up after they practice and one that comes when job let's him. Of course simple answer is "hire more coaches"...I am looking for ideas how to coach 85+ kids on jv and varsity with really 3-4 coaches?
Help!!

For the summer divide them into JV/varsity. One of the two coaches on staff stays in the wt room. The other goes outside. You travel with the varsity. Varsity lifts, JV runs. Then they switch. After this go outside and practice. You have 3 coaches. Hopefully, one can do linemen, one heavy skill, one skill. Practice 30 min O and 30 D. Or have an O day and then a D day. As far as real practice, idk. I'd have to think on that.

In terms of indy time, set up different groups in every drill. As soon as group 1 is finished, group 2 jumps in, and so on. If guys are dragging on it, skip their group and move them down. The guys who want to play and work hard will always be ready to go and get the most reps.
