Hi guys,
I just got hired to be the head coach for a new comprehensive high school opening in Fall 2021. One of the great things about being in so early is I get to help with all the equipment purchasing. I have a pretty solid list of equipment that I've generated over time, but I was wondering what pieces of equipment some of you have come to find essential. Or anything that you've found yourself going "I can't believe I forgot to order ____." Don't worry, footballs and mouth guards are on the list.
Cost is of course an issue, but I'd rather spend good money on something that'll get daily/regular use if it's needed.
Thanks for any suggestions.

That's a great call. Any recommendations? Hi-Pod is what's been used where I've been before but if there's anything simpler to set up, that'd be great.

I'll be able to give some input, but I don't have final say. Anything you'd strongly suggest for the weight room? I'm advocating for more racks and less cardio/cable equipment, not just for football, but because they're a more efficient use of space. No reason the kid on the debate team taking personal fitness can't learn to squat, do cleans, etc. |

No reason the kid on the debate team taking personal fitness can't learn to squat, do cleans, etc. That's what I would do. As many racks with adjustable benches, barbells, and weights as possible. Other weight room equipment I would prioritize: - Good trap bars (something like a Rogue TB-2) - Foam plyo boxes - Landmine attachments - Spud kettlebell straps - Dumbbells 5lbs-100lbs |

Here would be my need list quantity varies by the size of school of course. (i'll base on a 9-12 program with 50-60 participants) Football: 25-30 Hand Shields 8 Tall bags 20 Agile Bags (we did by some from BSN a couple years ago that can be used as a hand shield and agile bag pretty sweet) 100 cones half markers Sled (we prefer the Crowther 2 man pan sled) Trap Chute Blaster Jugs Machine 20 Rubber balls for Jugs 40 Footballs (this is very expensive but I can't imagine go into a season without old kick balls) 30 Pinnies to pull over shoulder pads or helmet condoms 2 DL rush hoops Tech Needs: Laptop Hudl Hudl Sideline Two Camera's for filming Ipads for Hudl Sideline/if you can get it a sideline TV for Hudl Sideline A drone for practice filming (I'm done with EZ cameras although you would need it for game, Drones are cheaper and way easier) Weightroom Needs Combo racks if you can get them if now 4 squat racks, 4 Bench Presses, and 4 Platforms Dumbbell Rack Weight up to 110 6-8 Foam Plyoboxes 50 Jump Ropes 2 Speed Ladders Plenty of weight and weight trees ensure you have 300 or more pounds for each of the 12 stations 2 or 3 glute ham machines 4 areas for dips 4 areas for pull-ups 1 Leg Press 1 Leg Curl 4 Trap Bars 20 Straight bars 50 Bands 2 Lat Pulls |

Just from my experience in using equipment 1 man and or 2 man sleds are vastly more used/desired than 5/6 man sleds, i wouldn't buy a 6 man sled anymore. I no longer use chutes either, just another big bulky waste of money.
