it might also help to list what size school and how many you have going both ways, this plays a role in how often you can go live
we are a school of 1600 or so, we will have a bunch going both ways next year
mon-full tues-full wed-full thursday-helmet-perfect practice-situations
towards the end of the season we taper this down and go shell on wed some

towards the end of the season, do you guys go half shell when you'd normally go full pads and helmets when you'd usually go half shell just to give the kids a break?

We don't change during the season. We keep the routine the same. Once you make a change, you'll screw up a few of the kids and then they aren't dressed the way you want. Then you get mad and the kids are wondering why it's such a big deal. I don't believe that putting kids in 1/2 shell is giving them a break. We give our guys a break by shaving 15 minutes off of a practice. This might happen twice during a season for more of a morale lift. We want football players, not a bunch of kids who are more worried about the dress of the day. We dress in our work clothing and bring our lunch pails with us. I'm probably more old school about this but our only day we don't go full gear is on Mondays during the season because we're still aching from Friday night and we do our walkthroughs/watch opponent video and condition run. For about the first 10 years of my coaching career, we fully suited everyday. I guess I gave into the "sexiness" of not dressing fully on Mondays. I still toss 'n turn on this decision

We don't do half-shells. We're either in or out of pads. We believe that with half-shells you have guys playing with different intensity and that can cause injuries. Why do you go full pads on Thursday?

Full gear on Thursday because we still go full speed through our kicking game (not full contact but full speed) and we have had enough incidental collisions that putting the full gear on gives us an insurance policy.
We also do 3 plays live of goalline Defense on Thursdays. I've been doing this forever and have never had an injury (knock on wood).

We don't do it that way but if it works for you, fine.

Mon--Full gear Tues-Full gear Wed- shells Thurs -shells Fri - Game Day Sat-Films & Ice
We went to this this year, adding shells to wednesday's practice. Our Varsity numbers were low, 30, but we started 18 different kids, but we were paper thin after that. By reducing the amount of banging, we stayed relatively healthy.

If you have football athletic period You need to add what is your practice type during the athletic period.... Are you in shells/full This also has an influence on what you are doing in the afternoon during the season

At the youth level, Full, all the time. I've seen kids that can run like the wind but you put a helmet on them and its like a lode stone. They gotta get used to it. Not to mention, safety and all..

Mon-Full Tues AM (Oline)- Half Tues PM - Full Wed Full Thurs AM (7's) Helmet Thurs PM - Full
We go full gear almost always but we change the tempo.
I have just had a few kids fall down in a light practice and the fact they are not wearing a knee pad results in a knee injury.
So we go full gear as much as possible so we don't slack off when we want to go hard, so we don't get injured if we bang knees together or fall down, and so the kids are used to it...by this I mean if you have to wear them in the game you should have to wear them at practice. If you want your kids to play like they practice why would you not go full gear???
I can see for upper levels to go half and helmets more...but for high school I got tired of kids asking for it etc...

Different situation - Middle School - just for a change up
Monday - Full pads, mostly offense Tuesday - Full pads, mostly defense and special teams Wednesday - Shells, everything - a lot of offense Thursday - GAME DAY Friday - T-shirt & Shorts, Ladder running (for breaking up lactic acid, and we cut it a little short after a win), film and board session, then let out a little early (we're done anyway, but they think we let out early) so we can get to the HS game.
Side Note: When effort, attitude, and/or tackling form need some refinement, Wednesdays and/or Fridays are converted into full pad days. Doesn't happen often, but the kids know it's there and that's WHY it doesn't happen often.

2A - (300 Enrollment) in H.S. 60 players 9-12
Monday - Shells Tuesday - Shells Wednesday - Shells Thursday - Shells Friday - Game
Very rarely after preseason will we full pad up. We only wear the shells so that the kids can get used to Helmets and Shoulder pads and hit sleds. During the Pre-season we get after it.
