Yes it is emphasized heavily. Year 1- we asked the kids to do it on their time...big mistake as they had no idea what they were looking at. I considered that a coaching fail as they were never taught how to watch it. Year 2 and beyond- current schedule of film is: Monday - Meetings and Film for 2hrs, but optional continuation of film that sometimes goes for another hr or 2. Tuesday- post-practice film session for 30 mins - OL/QBs, LB/DL Wednesday- post-practice film session for 30 mins - QBs/WR/RB, LB Thursday- post-practice team dinner and film session for 20-30mins - mixed offense, DBs Friday- pre-game meetings with short film 10mins - SPT, followed by Def/Off Are you practicing on Mondays or just meetings?

Just meetings, but we are looking to change that and do a light run through+cut the film time a bit.

No. They're young and the game, from eye level, looks different to them than from a crow's nest view. They're not coaches. They don't really know what they're looking at, or looking FOR. I was going to bring up this point. I am not sure if anyone could ever test out the effectiveness of film, but I wonder how much film actually helps given the fact that the perspective is 3 person as opposed to first person. I agree with this. We watch film but if a team's best play is counter and we want to stop it. After watching it on film, a lot of times you get the guys that start yelling "watch for counter, watch for counter." Well the kids aren't in the press box so theyre not seeing it play out the same way it did on film but a lot of times will start to watch the entire offense to see if it's counter. I think the key to film is showing them those top plays and pointing out what they are looking for on those plays as far as their standard read. For the LBs we read guards so guys as soon as the guard pulls you know it's probably counter. You are calling the pull and fitting the counter like this. It's a little more complicated than this but I like my guys to have tight eyes. As a coach I suck when I try to watch it all because I end up just following the ball. I think kids are the same way. For me, from a defensive perspective in this example, if we are using film we need to be doing it to show them the various reads and reactions to those reads they will make in that game. Then take those reads and rep the crap out of them in individual and team periods all week at practice.

Then take those reads and rep the crap out of them in individual and team periods all week at practice. Could you not make a list of thing based what you teach, that kids have to find and look for? Combined with things like formations, d&d, and hash? And who what, and how? Sounds like plenty of film watching to me. Especially if you broke it up so you can practice what should have been watched? Yeah I think you definitely could. I don’t know that I would make it as in-depth as you have listed here but could be done in a beneficial way. As I said before we read guards with our inside linebackers. The first thing our mlb asks me on Monday is if the guards pull. Then he asks if they ever false pull and if the play action very much when they pull. These are probably alll things he could find out for himself. My biggest use for film is corrections from the previous game. But maybe having a specific list of things for players to look for in the upcoming game could have some benefits as well.

Yeah. I have noticed with my own 10 year old son that maybe kids need more struggle in life.

We watch it as a team and our scouting reports are digital!
