Coaches, I am having trouble with this particular group of kids starting the game fast and with purpose. It is almost like they want to get a feel for their opponent's before they get going. For example, dipping their toes in the water repeatedly instead of jumping right in.
What are some things you do to ensure your kids are not "feeling" their way into game, instead, they take the game to the opponent?

I remember I posted in the other thread, but didn't look to see what it said.
That being said, my senior year we let 6 or 7 of the teams we played score first on us. We started slow. But we went 8-2. Some teams are just slow starters.

and sometimes you just can't win the coin toss and play a bunch of DW teams What is that supposed to mean? when asked about how to defend DW teams, one of several things I mention that helps to get off to a good start versus said DW team is to win the coin toss and take the ball. B/C if you lose the coin toss, your offense might not see the ball until the 2nd quarter. Apologies; loss of context. |

Gotcha. I worked a 12 this morning and my brain wasn't functioning at top speed when I read it.

A lot of it is just the kids and their collective personalities. You can try to work on it by starting practices fast if you can and hope the behavioral change sticks.
