What do you guys do to keep in touch with your players during the off-season? We have a pretty solid weight and conditioning program and most of our kids are in track or baseball, but I’ talking about other stuff. How do you get you kids together to build up the camaraderie? We have talked about having an event ever month or so. Something fun for the kids like a Madden tournament, movie night or watching a big baseball or basketball game. Several of our kids are low income and don’t have a very stable home life. We just are trying to come up with ways to give kids something to look forward to, to help keep them out of trouble. Another thing we discussed was meeting with the captains for the first part of out staff meetings, just so they can get more involved in the leadership process. Any thoughts, ideas or comments are welcome.

Great Question.
I like your idea of trying to build team camaraderie in the offseason outside of the normal lifting and working out.
Pick up basketball games, 3 vs. 3 tourney, bowling, mini golf tourney, support the players that are playing other sports by getting the team togther to go to a game, dodge ball tourney

We do have open gyms where our linemen type kids will usually play some basketball, others will throw some routes and other kids work on track stuff.

I just got my new American football monthly magazine. there is an article on this subject, by Oregon state's Jay Locey. He talks about bowling, Paint ball, swim Olympics, sumo wrestling, and more. I will read it later, just glanced threw, but it's interesting.
