Coaches, I want to ask you if you guys have any circuits with 8-9 stations that incorporate all aspects of the game. Tackling, leverage, blocking, turnover, ball security. This is two fold. One-it helps develop skills and 2 it conditions the athletes... Any suggestions?

We do a tackling circuit with 3-4 stations and a blocking period that's either position specific (no rotation) or team on the sled every day. Occacsionally we do a ball security/one on one type circuit with 3-4 stations of fumble recovery, ball strip, goal line running/tackling, but I can see not doing it nearly as much any more with the contact limitations now.

We have less coaches, and most are limited on knowledge (want to coach, but never have/never played), so when we do stations we will do 3 of them, two basic fundamentals and one with advanced positional fundamentals. For example, on the offensive side I will teach them how to get into a proper fit position and they will work the sled. The other coach will work on proper stances and get offs (usually only for the first few days of practice). I will take the third group and work on position specific, for example WR stalk/crack blocks, OL pulls/veer releases (blocks on second level and beyond), and backs (lead/arc blocks). Eventually, we will combine the get offs and advanced stations into a combined indy type thing for blocking (perimeter blocks, inside lead blocks, etc.).
Similar on defense, proper head up tackling in one station, leverage/angle tackling on the other, and steps/get offs at the third station. On defense I typically take the steps/get offs/block destruction station because it ties into scheme, responsibilities, and lets face it, if we can't shed a block we can't play d. Eventually we will extend station time, combine the two tackling, and add in pursuit/fits into the block destruction. I'm not saying we never do pursuit, we just do it at a different time.
If you have a staff of 6 coaches, I don't see why you can't do all 6 of these stations but we're never blessed with that many coaches. I'm lucky if I get 3 total coaches.
