Summer program???

This may not be what you are looking for...

I don’t have a lot of experience with this, only what I saw last season. 3 coaches who had been with the program for a long time left, each for different reasons. I, and another coach (the OC), joined the staff. This changed the dynamics so the summer workouts were different than what they had done before. We also lost our weight room to remodeling, so we had a very minimal weight room in a cafeteria. We couldn’t fit everyone in so we had to break everyone into groups.

The HC had a roster list with all of the workout dates. We had 10 days of spring ball, a week of finals, a week of graduations, and then a 4-day week of full-contact football camp with 5 other schools. After that we had workouts 4-days a week until the 2nd week of August.

The attendees at each workout were marked. Each player had to get 20 workouts in during the summer to be eligible to play varsity. If they didn’t make the 20 they could either start out on the JV or “buy” workouts by massive sets of pushups and running. Only had a couple of guys did not make the 20. We didn't record individual scores/times as we just flat didn't do anything that was individual-based.

Each workout was divided into 3 or 4 stations – weights (usually), plyometrics, conditioning, and core training. We’d rotate after 10-15 min. so everyone got to do everything. We worked everyone really hard all summer and I think it paid off for us as we went to the section championships for the first time in school history.

I would then stay and throw to the receivers. Twice a week we’d have passing league against 7-other local teams. We went to 1 weekend passing tournament. This went on all summer up to the 2nd week of August. Then a down week, a week of player-run conditioning/team building, and then we started double-days.

brophy, thanks for the link. but when i open it the words are all scrambled and can't be read. Is there another way you can get it to me? Thanks in advance.
