We have done it where each team plays each other 10 play O and 10 plays D. (if I were the original poster, I would do this twice and the second time around the 2s get 5 reps and the 3s get the other 5). Then each team plays all the others for a quarter with a running clock.

Every kid goes through every offensive position coach for about 15 min. Every kid goes through every defensive coach position station for about 15 min each. Then let them play touch football for about 30 min.

I got nothing boss. Just the way it was. Good in a way, got to do whatever I wanted, never had to worry about being second guessed, never had anyone looking over my shoulder. Bad in a way bc at the time we had an inexperienced staff and there were times I would have welcomed some more input into the game plan. Just the way it was.

As a DC, I have worked for a HC who told me on the first day-run a 3-4, and after that I had complete autonomy. HC had no input unless I asked for it. Said he hired me to do a job and trusted me and had enough to worry about. New HC, is a first time HC, and a former DC. Also my DB coach. Doesnt want to coordinate either side to have more time to manage the program. But is heavily involved and knows whats going on on both sides of the ball.
As a DC, I give my coaches autonomy unless they show me they cant. Then I tell them what to do in detail. Got a DL coach who was a first year coach last year. Went over everything with him every day. Great guy, great worker. Has earned my trust. Now its hey, you got 15 min of indy. You know what to do.

Great story about this topic, legendary coach here in our state. State record holder for wins at one time, may still be, IDK. Anyway, takes his whole staff to a clinic. Gets 1 room. Tells the boys, "We are gonna have to share beds boys, we just couldnt afford more than 1 room. Any of you is welcome to sleep with me, but just so as you know, I sleep naked." Then he strips off his clothes and climbs into bed. Needless to say, he didnt have a bedmate. LOL

When we go to state clinic in the summer and athletic dept pays we get 1 coach per bed. When we go during clinic season, or go visit a college and the booster club pays we go 4 to a room,

We put in about 15 hours a week. Maybe more if we go to a big 7 on 7 tournament. I feel like that's probably about right.

3rd round of playoffs. We are up 26-10 with 10 min to go in game. They are driving. We catch a pick in the end zone and somehow run it out and fumble it. They recover on the 5. They score. 26-16. We got 3 and out. They score and get the 2 pt conversion. 26-24. We throw a pick. They score. Now they are winning. 30-26. We go 3 and out. They go 3 and out and punt. We muff the punt. They recover. We hold them. Down 4. 2 minutes left. We drive down and score with 34 sec left. Go up 32-30. We sky kick the kickoff. Their kid slips catching it but doesn't fall and our kids let up covering the kick. He returns it for a td. They go up 36-32. We get tackled on their 5 to end the game. So many things went wrong their at the end that any one thing different would have been the difference.

Kids ultimately play because its fun. Whatever the reason is that they find fun in differs from kid to kid. We got some kids who love the wt. room, love to work out. We got some that wanna play basketball on grass. But whatever it is, they find it fun. That being said, at our place its still "cool" to be on the football team, and that always helps.

We got some nice Russell rain jackets several years ago. I still wear mine on the worst rain games and it works great. I have no idea how much it cost, but Russell is generally cheaper than Nike or UA

Call your local golf course or country club. Ask them for advice. Or even if they are willing to donate time and effort. Bermuda is pretty easy to grow in the south. Hot humid weather and some water and that stuff will take off. Especially if your fertilize it. Killing the crap grass is a little harder. As mentioned you can spray for it and it will kill it. Might set your Bermuda back a little but it's early in the summer. We contract out our spraying. And they spray preemergent in Novememer and late February. So we don't have a lot of trouble with weeds. Also get someone to come out and verticut it early in the summer which helps loosen up the soil and really lets that Bermuda take off and run.

Another thing is you have to make it fun. Now I know there are some things we have to do that just arent enjoyable. But you have to have alot of energy and be positive and up tempo. I agree that incentives are good. Giving kids things, like tee shirts and shorts are good. As much as I hate to admit it, music in the wt. room and at practice are good if you have the ability to do it.

If the weather is nice, UA kahkis, team polo, team hat. If its rainy, rain suit and old team hat. If its cold, rain pants, boots, Hoody, appropriate jacket. I believe in looking professional on the sideline, until the weather necessitates otherwise.

We used to, not so much to evaluate the talent, but so that we could show the film to the kids to teach them. Then our film guy had some personal problems that kept him away on Thursday night, so we havent been able to film them lately

Both good ideas. We start every day with some kind of pursuit period too. Not the old fashion cone pursuits, but just simple stuff, like I throw the ball to one of 4 coaches standing around the field and they chase it, or I throw an old helmet bladder somewhere in they chase it. 3 reps if they are good and get out, if they aint good we keep going. But I really like those ideas.

Coach Lewis at Clinton is one of the best. And several of the legends have hung it up. Tom Brown is back in action at E Burke. I think he is now the winningest coach in NC. You would be tough to find anyone better than Paul Hoggard at Edenton Holmes. There are many many good coaches in NC. But as mentioned not many legends are left and the good younger guys haven't been around long enough to be legends yet.

I'd have to make an argument for Spartanburg SC even though I live in NC. Spartanburg HS has returned to national prominence thanks to Coach Miller and his staff. Byrnes has been in the national spotlight for a while. Dorman stadium and facilities would make must small colleges jealous and they play pretty dang good football too. There are several other schools in the county who are pretty good too. But nothing compares to these 3.
Would have made an argument for Gaffney if they had been a little better the last couple years. Huge community support. However right now the natives are restless.

Typical week. Lets assume we are meeting on Sunday.
Saturday morning-watch previous nights film and take notes to correct problems. Break down opponent film. Sunday Staff meeting, watch film, game plan etc.. 2-8, then another 2 hours or so where I draw scout cards, plan practice, put together scouting report for kids, Monday-Watch film with kids during wt. training class after we lift of previous game. Practice 3-6, alot of indy, introduce opponent and game plan, about 10 mins of team work. meet with staff after practice to finalize stuff. Usually leave around 7. Tuesday-watch film of opponent with kids during wt training after we run. Practice 3-6 full pads. Indy, inside, 7 on 7, team. Usually done about 7 again. Wed-same as Tuesday. Thur-watch film as above, walk thru 3-430. JV game. Home about 11. Friday-depending on home or away, either watch film with kids, or paint the field. After game, watch film, chart tackles, wash uniforms. Home anywhere between midnight and 2 am depending on where game is and what kind of mood I'm in.
I am not HC, but DC.
Bye week we usually give the kids Monday and Friday off. We practice 3 days and really focus on tackling and fundamentals. Begin to introduce our next opponent against our base stuff. Practice length cut down by about 30 min or so.

Med ball relay is a great one that our kids enjoy. Put them in teams of 4-5. Take a med ball, have them throw it backwards over their head in an explosive movement. After they throw the ball they must sprint to stop it, then sprint back and tag the next guy in line. First team to get their ball across the opposite goalline wins.

Are they starters or are they seniors who feel entitled to start but are beat out by underclassmen?

Each coaching staff picks their own all conference performers. Number of spots you get depends on where you finish in the league.

We dont have a rule or anything. Most of the quality is decent, most of us only have a couple film guys so the film they shoot is the film they trade and they have to watch. That being said there is one Air Raid team in our league who is really good who sends you a high quality shot of only their OL. Cant see any routes.

We went. Good clinic. Lots of emphasis on being great mean and teaching your kids to do things the right way. Good fun and good time. They really take care of you. If you arent looking for a religious message dont go, bc Dabo Swinney is very openly evangelical.
