Give them a chance to congregate, formulate bonds, cliques as a team before they enter hs. it helps if you are constantly in the middle schools. Have assistant coaches who are constantly around and in the weight room. |

This may not be what you're looking for since it was only one week plus state restrictions may apply depending on where you coach, but at a previous job we had a freshmen-only football camp the first week of June. This was to introduce the basics of our systems and give them time to work on things with just their class in attendance.
Now, admittedly one of the reasons we did this was because so many of them played youth baseball that we wouldn't have seen many of them at football after that first week anyway. So, after that, the freshmen were expected to come to morning weights and then whatever on-field workouts they could.
