Coaches drive the bus to every game. No extra compensation. It’s considered part of your coaching assignment.

About the only way to avoid this nonsense is to offer it as a class during the school day-which we are fortunate enough to have.

Coach-we have several kids who are the same way. We have them on teams in wt training where they earn points every day. Tardy to class is minus 2. No exceptions. No excuses. It’s helped us. Like you said if he w as a loader it would be easy to cut him. But since he is a hard worker it makes it hard. Maybe just take 2 points off his grade every day.

We don’t do it. But one idea I like is to do and 8 grade signing day. Like a senior signing his NLI. Have all the 8 graders come up. Sign a paper you type up committing to your program. Take pictures of them in a hat or jersey. Invite their parents. Have some snacks or food. Generally make a fuss over them.

Idk if this is a serious thread or not. But if the kid has a doctors note or a note from the trainer saying he is injured there’s not much you can do. If we have a kid with an upper body injury he will do what he can on lower body exercises and vice versa. As long as he still shows up to practice and/or workouts I don’t think you can do much of anything. Now if he doesn’t have a note from Dr or trainer you can cut ties with him.

I agree with fantom. I don’t think fear is the right word. If they respect you they don’t need to fear you and they will follow your demands Bc they know their is a line you will not let them cross. I think if they fear you they won’t play. And maybe the OP doesn’t mean fear in the traditional sense. Maybe he means more along the lines of knows that their are consequences for unacceptable behavior. Idk.

38. No real bad effects from playing football. But when I lift my knees and back get sore. That’s about it.

I’m glad golf isn’t in the fall here. That would hurt my game if I didn’t get to play 9 holes 3 days a week in the spring! Lol

When I’ve seen it done it’s always been a spring sport and track where the kid is just naturally gifted at a track even and just goes on meet days and does the other sport the rest of the time. Or football kicker and soccer and we work special teams around the soccer schedule.

I don't have a solution regarding getting replacements made up, but I do know that we just received a Buy One set, Get One Free offer from Nike for Custom Vapor Pro jerseys. They were offering any team that was switching from Russell the offer. We were told it was good thru Feb. 1st, but if you have a rep if might be worth asking about. We could have never afforded the the style of jerseys we just ordered without the special. Other than that, I do agree with others who have stated that multiple companies will make a "look-a-like" jersey that will match what you have pretty well to at least get you through until you are ready to purchase new sets. I believe this deal was good for anyone switching over to Nike from another brand. Not just Russell.

I think if you have been at this a while and are pretty set on what you are gonna do X and O wise then you are probably not gonna gain any earth shattering info. However, there isnt a single clinic that I go to where I dont gain some little nuggets of info. A new blitz or stunt, a little tip on teaching a technique etc... Are there speakers where you set there bored to death and think "man, this guy is a fool!" yes but there is always something gained.

Idk if it is genetic. But I do think it has a lot to do with the way you were raised as a young child.

I was told that even though they were going out of the business they’d be able to do replacements for 2 or 3 years. IDK

I’m usually a pair of wind or rain pants and a sweat shirt or pullover. The nicest newest edition of those things that I have.

We do them, but only if we WIN.
Each player gets 1 for the win, I dont remember the offensive stuff, but I know the OL got them for pancakes. Rush over 100, throw over 150, receive 100. For a TD. OL got one for over 3 TDs by the O. Grade out over 80. There were some others.
D got them for every 5 tackles. TFLs, sacks, creating or getting a turnover, grading out over 80. Score on D, who D got one, shut out etc..
We did them for special teams too, but I really dont remember them.

I am amazed how many of you have the kids do all their own wash. I never had to wash any of my gear in HS as a player. Coach/manager washed all our practice (every day for under garments-once a week unless it rained for Jersey and pants) and game gear.
School I’m at now we wash for the kids. I tell them every day if they put it in front of the washer I’ll wash it. I start the load when I leave and throw it in dryer next morning. Games nights all coaches stick around and wash and hang up uniforms.

Make sure everyone knows where they are going and try to eliminate teams moving around from one end of the school to the other. Especially without a break between games.

I would think it could be done pretty easy if you are two platoon. I don’t think we could do it with 2 way players.

We have it as a class. We have a school of about 1000. I think we have all but about 3 in our football classes. One is in baseball class. Two are so special ed and it won’t work with their schedules. Without the graduating seniors we have about 60 left in the program grades 9-11

This is one of the things I feel like I need to get better at. I feel like I am always a step behind in adjusting. The first thing I always try to do if the game plan isn’t working is fix what we are doing wrong to get the game plan to work. By the time I do that and it doesn’t work again I feel like I’ve waited too long. We have HUDL sideline so I use that and the white board on the sideline. Whether we make major adjustments on the sideline or at the half depends on the year. Some years we are 2 platoon or nearly 2 platoon so I can make some bigger adjustments on the sideline. Years we have key players going both ways it’s nearly impossible and we have to wait till half. Most of the assistant I’ve had are mainly yes men. So adjustments are just me telling them and then the kids what we are gonna do different. I usually inform the HC what I wanna do on the way off the field. Go over it with the assistants. Then go over it with the kids. If I have time I then have the kids go to their coach and have that coach go over it with their position group specifically.
