Just saw this in the local paper last night about the summer practices starting.
xxxxx will have summer practices every Monday through Friday from 5-8 p.m. The players will work on agility drills, lift weights and go over the installation of both the offense and defense.
Thoughts? I have mine because that's a school I very familiar with so I'm very biased. They had 28 players, Fr to Sr at the first practice.

Ridiculous is right. |

Well, if they’re not practicing all those hours right now, how do you expect them to get any quality videos for social media?

Never mind the kids, if that guy thinks I'm showing up for 15 hours a week before official practice even starts for a $2000 stipend he's out of his mind. |

He was out of his mind. It was my first year there, so I kind of had to do it. I would not have done it another year. |

We do about 10 hours a week in the summer. It feels like a lot but not totally crazy to me. There used to be a program here that did 20 hours a week in the summer, which just seemed crazy to me.

We went from. 5:30 to 7pm on Mondays every week throughout the summer on on the field stuff. That was all, besides our two camps- one right after school in June, one right before two a days in August. Those were 4 days a week, 2 hours a day.

We go 9-12 Monday thru Thursday. Lift, run, practice 1 side of the ball. Usually have a 7 on 7 with someone on Thursday (not a tournament. Just a get together). I have a couple coaches that come about every day and they are welcome to. But I only ask them to be there when the side of the ball they coach is on the field. Go on vacation if you are planning on it.

I’ve been at a place that was 4 hrs a day Monday through Thursday. I didn’t mind but I felt like we burned the kids out. |

We are going 6-8 in the evenings Monday to Thursday. I ask coaches to set their own schedule but be there when they sign up.
I ask players to make 3 out of 4. They aren’t used to consistently showing up so I offer 4 to get 3. If we can get a good standard set, we will only schedule three days in the future.
We are basically in weightroom an hour and on field for an hour.

Month of June Tues/Thurs 8-10 am…July Monday thru Thursday 8-10:30 am. Actual practice begins second week of July. We have seen great attendance since using this format. Doesn’t burn out players or coaches

Mon-Fri 8-noon. All summer long, save for the two week dead period. It does absolutely burn out the kids, but is standard practice around here. Most coaches agree this is how you win titles and buy into it blindly. Or are afraid to say the emperor has no clothes.
Ive said my piece, but dont rank high enough to make a change

M-Th, an hour in the weight room and either a little under an hour of field/drill work or 7-on-7 vs a neighboring school. Anywhere from 1-3 other teams at 7-on-7.
So I'd say it ranges from 7-12 hours depending on the week.

Hell, in DIII football, where players may be less likely to be on campus all summer and the landscape is closest to high school football, I think the first permissible date of practice is 23 days before game one?

hsrose, if you play these guys (especially late) good for you- because unless they are a bunch or dudes and are are rolling... they'll probably be burned to a crisp by then. I've seen a few teams pull off this type of summer schedule and be successful... but those are more the exception than the rule.
We have weight room in the summer, similar to what Defcord has except we go in the AM (6-9:45). 4 days available- be in 3.
We have a small weight room, and train everybody- so they sign up for times (6, 7 8 or 9). We have to cap it at 28. We run two speed/agility blocks at 6:45 and 7:45 (6:45 is packed... 7:45 not nearly as much).
The only thing we have for football "practice" is a 2 day camp for about 1 1/2 hrs. each night - which is right before team camp (3 day camp at a college).
If the guys want to do a 7 on 7 (intersquad), we'll do a couple of those in July.
And one week before football starts, I don't want to see anybody- the weight room is closed, no camp, no practice... for the most part, our guys play the equivalent of 5 seasons by the time they graduate. I want them as fresh/excited in November as we can be. I don't really care how pumped we are in June.

8 to 1030
monday thur Thursday,
4 to 6 coaches there every single day,
they all have same vision, win on friday nights, so its not even a conversation on missing. now if someone is going to be gone, its not frowned upon or whatever, go do what you need to, to have a healthy home life, but if your in town need to be at workouts.
kids with 100% get something at the end of season, exclusive dri-fit shirt, name on home jerseys, something.
thats the incentive.

That's the norm in California.
I guess that's why we beat everyone else!
Relax guys, I'm kidding about the 2nd part.

If that's what it takes to be the best at high school football you can have it. It's way too much and it is the norm. We go 3-5 pm Monday-Thursday. Wednesdays are 4 way 7 on 7 occassionally with lineman doing something with another team. We have 1 Saturday passing tournament we go to and 1 Saturday lineman competition. Then we take a 3 week dead period before we put on pads. 2 weeks is all that is mandated but we add on to 3. I have a parent who transferred their kid out because the schools nearby would never think about taking an extra week off if they didn't have to. Our boosters pays the coaches $500 for the summer. |

We go from 7:30-9:30 a.m. Monday through Thursday. That's weights and on-field work. We had a 7 on 7 this week and have I believe two more this summer. We'll have a team camp that's one night on July 20, I think. One thing that helps is nothing is done Friday-Sunday. Even our 7 on 7s and team camp are Tuesdays or Thursdays.
I did work for one HC who I wouldn't have worked for again because of summer demands but he was only here one year.

The after thought is do you HAVE TO. I think the joke part, ergo apology, is that either ‘that California always beats you’ or ‘that many hours of practice IS the reason why teams are winning’. I think 12-14 hours per week (pending the length of your summer) would be optimal, with a 24 hour week at the end of practice. |

The after thought is do you HAVE TO. There’s a balance IMO. Doing things just because others are is not guaranteeing success but taking a bunch of time off to be contrarian isn’t either. The 5 game COVID season in California taught me a lot about our program. We went 1-4 and got killed by teams we usually beat. I’m a believer that it was largely due to limited workout and practice time. |

I interpreted it as coach was saying that he believes his club wins games in normal circumstances (unregulated or less regulated offseason practice time) by spending more time practicing/training than their opponents. |
