Off Season Time Commitment for players

We have all our players in 1st period wt training second semester. Class lasts 1.5 hours. Workout is about an hour. Early in the winter we lift 4 days, and do speed, plyos, COD stuff one day. Once weather warms up enough for us to get outside some we lift 3 days, do what we did above 1 day, and go outside and run 1 day.

Start going outside sometime in mid March after school if you are not playing a spring sport. One day a week per position group for an hour.

10 days of spring practice in May, 2 hour practices

Summer program 4 days a week after school gets out. 3 hours a day. 4th day is usually some kind of 7 on 7 and/or team practice type thing.

Everything after school is voluntary in NC. No mandatory workouts or practices until the 1st day of practice.

1 - We start when we return from Christmas break
2 - 4 days per week for high school kids (95% are in football weights class), 3 days per week for middle school kids (after school)
3 - 1 hour per day
4 - For the high school kids, we lift 3 days and do speed/agility 1 day.  On Fridays, they play basketball, which I have found to be just as effective for improving speed and agility as any workout we do.  Middle school kids lift 3 days per week.

1) We have a meeting the week we get back from school, then start the following week. Most of the time though some kids want to start lifting right away after the season ends so we give them a workout to do. Our after school program is run through Boys and Girls Club so one of our coaches has normally been the person running that. That is nice because I need a some time to just relax and go home after school like a normal person and actually work out for myself.
2) We do 4 days a week (Mon-Thur) That Thur day is TRX / agility / plyo
3) Takes about an hour for each workout
4) We try to warm up with some dynamic and the hurdles stretch (over one, under one etc) I think that is amazing for hip flexibility. I agree with someone else who posted about basketball. The last 3 years we have just played basketball after lifting, the last two we did even in summer. No formal conditioning. We had zero cramps, no conditioning issues and we have kids playing both ways. I think the key is forcing full court basketball. Its good conditioning for the coaches as well. We have a coaches team and add a player or two. I think it is a great way to build relationships with the kids. You are playing with them and sweating with them and competing with them.

Because at times the other “adults” don’t hold them to the same or any standards for that matter.

1 - We have every player in a weights class, frosh through senior.  Freshmen starting really training the week after the season ends, JV/Var maybe a few weeks depending on playoff runs, etc.

2 - 3/4

3 - 30-45m, classes are 49m so we have to really hustle.

4 - We don't really do conditioning or SAQ in a traditional sense.  We lift and play games and tell them to play other sports.  We play A TON of half court basketball and dodgeball, that's plenty of conditioning and SAQ right there.

I 100% agree with this.  for some reason my kids just basically refuse to do another sport.  I have like 6 kids doing wrestling(only 2 OL kids, 1 DL kid) and 2 or 3 play basketball.....
For some reason our kids are fooled into thinking our weight lifting team is the goal to being better at football.....so they all go lift weights, which is good and they should.  But the girls weight team is in there also, so they get to drool and hangout with girls for the 3 hrs afterschool that weightlifting takes place.....
a few run track, a couple play baseball.
very frustrating, trying to develop and change an entire culture into better athlete=better football player, 

1. 28 days after the last game, usually ends of starting mid to late December.
2. 4 days per week (mon-Thursday), with an optional Saturday morning workout
3. 1 hour lifting before school, 30 min of football or skill work after school.
4. See #3
