Coaches -- do any of you use a "motivation board" with your team with some team goals posted on it? I am thinking of goals for our offense this year, like "no turnovers" "3 drives of 10+ plays", etc. Anyone have any thoughts?

We have one.
Outscore our opponent.
That's it.
We obviously practice hard to take care of the ball and this is always an emphasis.
But we have one. Outscore the other team.
If they score 10 and we score 14, we're successful.
If they score 42 and we score 49, we're successful.
If they score 30 and we score 28, we're unsuccessful.
We let each position coach set their own group goals.
No fumbles
No sacks
Things like that.

Statistical goals are not under your control. Your opponents, the officials, weather, etc can all influence the outcome. Goals that are under your control include:
Do your Job!
Be Physical!
Play Smart! (no penalties, dumb plays, etc.)
These 3 "goals" are the only ones on our board.

I echo fbdoc 100%. I would look for something simple, something that you can build your program on, and something that is causal, and not simply a result of play. "Win the next play" "Beat YOUR man" "Do YOUR job". If 11 men win their play...if 11 men beat their man..if 11 men do their job...you should be ok.

We have one. Outscore our opponent. love it wanted to use the following...looking for % for Redzone and third down WIN FIRST DOWN % THIRD DOWN NO TURNOVERS AVOID COSTLY PENALTIES % REDZONE BIG PLAY SUDDEN CHANGE I think it it good to use smaller goals to reach the BIG one |

dacoachmo---good list, but my only "problem" with emphasizing things like that...is that if you are goal oriented, and you fail to accomplish something, what happens to the mindset. What if you throw a pic on the 2nd possession? What if you have a costly penalty which brings back a long TD run. etc.
Winning the Next Play, is an ongoing goal. Being Physical is an ongoing goal. Doing your job is an ongoing goal. And none of those goals involve anyone other than the player.

While I agree with the comments about the non-statistical goals, I believe that you can set statistical goals that build or assist in winning the game. It does give the kids something that they can touch.
Our Offensive Goal ...
WIN
We feel that doing the following gives us the best opportunity to accomplish our goal.
These are the benchmarks that we use to gauge our success.
#1 -- No Turnovers
#2 -- Score 35 or More
#3 -- Eliminate Penalities
#4 -- No 3 and outs
#5 -- 5 or more Explosive Plays
#6 -- 5.0 yards per rush
#7 -- 65% or better completions

5085, gotcha.
maybe, win the turnover battle.
emphasis would be on accomplishing 5 goals per game.
individual goals would include...
"WE CONTROL OUR F.A.T.E."
Formation (being in the right place at the right time)
Assignment (knowing what you are supposed to do)
Technique (knowing how you are supposed to do it)
Effort (doing it to the best of your abilities)
