I am sure this has been on here before, but I am asking again. Curious what a day after a game looks like for your team and staff?

I don’t bring my guys in till Sunday evening. I feel it’s important for my coaches to spend some time with family. Plus it gives us more time to break down film on our own and come up with ideas on next opponent.
Players we wont see till Monday. We go 3-6 on Mondays with the first hour being 30 minutes of film on game. Then we spend another 20 on next opponent. After that we go up and have regular 2 hour practice.

We are off until Monday. Coaches look at film at home and we communicate through text. My coaches aren’t fans of giving the kids weekends off but that’s what we do.

SATURDAY MORNING: Staff in at 8:30, players in at 9. Varsity players do yoga while junior varsity lifts. Defensive guys start tagging next opponent's film. When finished with yoga, varsity guys watch film from previous night(defense in one room-offense in another), and junior varsity does a walk-through. We will not watch entire game. Since most of us coaches have viewed film before arriving at school, we usually show 15 clips(The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly). Players are dismissed by 11:00; coaches are finished by noon at the latest.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON: Sometimes we have to scout, but this is rare since most of our opponents play at night. If we are not scouting we are off to do work at home. I usually have to finish tagging film, so I do that. One thing that helps is having one of our young assistants tag the simple stuff (O/D/K, down, distance, yard line, hash, run/pass). All I have to tag is formation and play. Once all the tagging is completed, I then do the tendency stuff.
SUNDAY MORNING: Informal staff meeting at 8:00. It's informal because some guys have young families and some have older/grown kids. We break into offensive and defensive staffs and work on game plan. When we're finished, we discuss Monday's practice; that's it. We're usually finished by 10 or 11 AM. This Sunday meeting really helps us get ready for Monday since our Monday practice is more than some running and film-watching. Monday is a real practice.

Out game and opponent games tagged in hudl by noon Saturday. Then, get our Friday game shared to the kids with notes and we begging watching next weeks game. Sunday night we meet as a staff to set up game plan and such. Monday after school watch a few clips 10-15 from Friday then introduce our opponent to the kids. Move outside for a hour walk through an install of game plan for that weeks game.

Crazy, in california you can have zero contact on sundays, Volluntary or otherwise. Ive always hated volluntary/mandatory rules in general as everyhting becomes default mandatory anyhow. Might as well call it like it is

Saturday- kids show up 9am workout/stretch for 45 min then films of previous game for an hour. After that coaches go into separate rooms to breakdown data on upcoming opponent (very efficient getting things done like that). Afterwards, anyone who wants to leave can, but most stay, we come up with game plan for the week and create scouting packets. Almost always done by 3 or 4. Sunday- Stay at home, we are already done. Monday- First hour is install and film of next opponent with kids

It's been ten years since I've worked for a program that brought kids in on the weekend, but what we did there was kids and coaches reported at 8 a.m. We reviewed film together as a whole group for around an hour, then we hit the field for a stretching routine and then JV had a walk through for their game on Monday and varsity walked through fixing any errors from the previous night that might also be relevant for the next opponent. Coaches then stayed for a brief meeting afterwards--very informal--to wrap up any thoughts from night before. We then reconvened as a staff Sunday evening for gameplanning. Honestly, pretty much everyone coach and player alike hated the Saturday routine as it wasn't very productive but the HC never really took anyone up on their suggestions for change either.
Currently, we do not have kids come in at all over the weekend. We actually eat a postgame meal together and watch about an hour of film immediately after the game Friday night. Makes for a LOOOOONNNNNGGGG Friday night, but it also allows you to provide immediate feedback so that Monday is all about that week's opponent. We work on our own over the weekend to watch film and meet Sunday afternoons to put gameplan together.

We play on Friday. Kids don’t come in either day. Generally speaking coaches have Saturday off. But are expected to have their position graded by the time we meet on Sunday. Occasionally Bc of something unavoidable one side of the ball or the other will meet on Saturday instead of Sunday.

Our staff stays late after the game. We eat, clean up, get laundry going. OffDef meet and grade film get stats. Def guys stay and tag the next opponent film if we get it that night. If not def guys meet Saturday morning. Off staff meets at 7am to watch film and game plan Sunday morning. Kids are off till Monday. Film is done after practice Monday with the players and parents provide a team meal which is very nice.

What we used to do: • Postgame= watch film, drink, b!tch about the film, tag the film, create scouting reports, sleep if you’re lucky • 8-9:30 am = Review film with players • 9:30-11:00 am = Go over scouting report for next opponent with players • 11-Noon = weights/conditioning/JV walkthrough • 12-5pm = coaches stay around to watch youth football games if at home
What we do now: • Go home after the game. • Watch film on your own the following morning, but leisurely • No film/workout/walkthrough till Monday afternoon during 8th hour • Each Coach is given 2-3 specific columns to tag, do them on your own time but have them done Monday afternoon 8th hour
It’s so much better now. We live 15-20 minutes from an SEC school, and everyone here watches them play with their family. Why try to force something against that? We are so much fresher and more enthusiastic than our opponents some mid/late season it’s not even funny. We always get hot heading into the playoffs instead of burning out.

I assume HUDL is the main reason for people not meeting the weekends. I believe it gives us a HUGE advantage with the parents (one less time commitment). Only ask 10-20 minutes of film sat or sun of their previous game (most varsity guys exceed that).
For those that lift/run Saturday, is your lift light with just movement (light squat, body lunge, etc) to work out stiffness and lactic acid? and running short jogs or a continuous 8-12 minute jog?

I am sure this has been on here before, but I am asking again. Curious what a day after a game looks like for your team and staff? Kids are off til Monday Coaches meet as a staff Sunday night (we are all expected to watch film on our own in preparation to be ready to discuss Sunday night) We used to try to get the kids together for Saturday morning film/treatment/lift etc but felt it wasnt helping us a few of our coaches have to work a good amount of saturdays (including our HC, he isnt a teacher) we always have a decent number of kids who work I think this is a situation where the expectation of the weekend varies greatly and we all each have to do what we feel works best for us/our kids and staff

We usually don't bring them in until Monday. The exception is if we go from a Friday game to a Thursday. One reason is that JV games are played on Saturday morning in our district. Another is that we want to watch the video as a staff before watching with the players. In Virginia we're not allowed to do anything with the players on Sunday.

Friday night: stay after the game and watch the film. HC provides the food. Get the laundry done.
Saturday: Family day but we're supposed to watch opponent film on our own. Most of us already started watching the film either Wed or Thurs.
Sunday: Meet at 8 am as a staff. Go over depth and special teams then break up O and D. If you've got to leave for church or some other family thing coach understands and it's not a big deal. The offense is out by 930 and Defense is out by 1030ish (Guess those lazy bums are just not efficient).
Kids watch the film in class on Monday.

Maybe it's just me, but I really like seeing a number of people who used to #grind on Saturday or the entire weekend but have since scaled way back and see it as an improvement. If you do it and kids are jacked up to be there every Saturday morning, even in week 10, and each Saturday is productive than kudos to you and keep on knowing you're lucky with the kids you have.
From my experience, it ain't worth it. If the season is going poorly, every Saturday morning is a b*tch and the excuses for missing start piling up. Even if the season is going well and you make a playoff run, those Saturdays start to wear on both players and coaches and burnout sets in. We stopped having Saturdays about 5 years ago. This past season we made it further than our program has in a long time and our kids even came in the Monday after we lost in the semis saying "Man I wish we had practice today." There was no burnout after the long season and no amount of lactic acid reduction can replace that.

maybe its just me maybe I just haven't been around a bunch of really dedicated assistant caoches (not HCs or most coordinators), but when someone tells adults to do something on their own over the weekend I've found that like 90% of people either don't do it or do it very sparingly and then try to pass it off as they really did it and dug deep into it.
That being said I'm all on board the no kids till Monday philosophy. I just think the adults should be coming in to work.

By 11:00 pm on Friday the HC has the game film uploaded. A couple of us will stay up until 12:30-1:00 to watch it.
At 8:00 we meet at the school. The kids with injuries see the trainer, the rest go through a stretching, lite lift and lite cardio program put on by our S&C guy. The coaches sit around BS'ing about the game we just played and the one we're about to play.
At 9:30 we watch the film as a team. By 11:00 kids are gone.
From 11:00 to 11:30-12:00 we plan the coming week's practice.

I'm glad I have good assistants who enjoy this part of the gig, so having film broken down and ideas for game plan come Sunday has never been an issue. However, if you have those a little less motivated for this, I would suggest a sheet of questions that coaches fill out as they are breaking down film. We do this anyways because it really helps to speed up the game planning process.

We meet from 9-11 saturday morning, kids can join us to watch last night's game if they want. Then kids leave and we game-plan for the next opponent. We've been together as a staff for 10+ years, and there hasn't been a big turnover of opposing staffs, so we repeat a lot of what we did previous years. We've gotten pretty efficient at game-planning.
Also, having Hudl helps us do more work at home. We dont dissect all opposing scout film together. And really, having Hudl Sideline and our endzone cam means most of our adjusting happens in the first quarter anyways. We just need a brief overview of scheme and personnel to get ready for games
