We had one this year for the first time. We gave them Monday and Friday off. It was the week before a big conference game. Helped us bc we were able to put in some new stuff we normally wouldn't with just a week. Hurt us bc the game was too fast at first and our tackling was poor. We came back to win 38-34

We would bring them in around lunch time. No set schedule till 3 when we eat pre game. Just trying to keep them in some sort of a routine and get them up and moving.

Make everything a competition, especially in your speed and strength offseason work. Reward winners or punish losers.

Friday night-start the wash, watch a little film, celebrate, misery whatever, myself and DC chart the tackles after everyone is gone. Usually about 2 hrs total. Saturday staff meets at 9. We start breaking down opponents. Break down every play in the last two games, create formation chart for formation tendencies, go over checks and everything that might give us some problems. Do down and distance tendencies usually done about 3. For the record offense is usually done about 1. The rest of Saturday is for family. Sunday morning, grade position group on my own. Usually takes about two more hours. Watch a little more video on opponent Sunday night and each day throughout the week. So total on weekends 10 hours give or take. We are 8-0.

JV can be fr, so, and in rare cases jr. Varsity can be anyone. We have an 8 qtr rule where player can play JV and dress for varsity games and play up to 8 qtrs of varsity for the season. One play counts as a qtr. this is in NC

Lol. I am cheaper than you big duke, I only buy pizza for shutouts. But the kids would kill for it. We lost a shutout due to a KO return in the 4th qtr and I thought our nose guard was gonna kill our KO team. We were up big in the 4th qtr one game and put the backups in. In 3 plays the other team was on the 5. I turn around and our DL is screaming put us back in coach! We are gonna lose our pizza! Lol. But your right kids will kill for pizza or t shirts.

Can't control alot of that. You have to focus on things you can control. Facility improvements cost alot of money, and around here anyway, come from the school district. If that is an issue, and you have the $ to do so, put up banners or posters in the locker room, fresh paint on the locker room and weight room walls, new name brand uniforms if you can afford it. Stuff like that you can do. As far as improving a stadium or a fieldhouse or a locker room, or redoing a playing surface, you are gonna need some big time $$$.

I think having a tough off season strength and conditioning program can help but not necessarily cure the problem. Those who don't really care will quit and the ones who do care will be better bc of it

We don't go live much either. Thud up front and wrap the ball carrier up unless HC gets pissed about the focus level and makes it live. We are a very physical team but we do not tackle well in space as a result so we emphasize getting to the ball to compensate.

Only time we get to live scout is if we get rained out and our next opponent doesn't. This is rare. Happened maybe twice ever. This is in NC

We have fed opponents before but don't anymore cause no one feeds us. We have drinks in the press box but not a spread. The school we played at last Friday did, they had chicken wings chicken nuggets cookies and cupcakes. It was fun to eat while enjoying a 51-12 victory. This is in NC

Yes. An Afro pick. Idk how hard he stabbed him with it. I wasn't in the parking lot when it happened. Saw the kid at freshman orientation and he asked what he had to do to get back on the team. LOL

Yeah, first kid stabbed the other kid with his hair pick-jabbed it in so deep it stuck in the kids arm, so he ran to his car to get his blade.

We work it almost exactly like new pride. While V is on O jV is on D. So they get a pretty good amount of time. Only time the get shafted is like it was on our 1st intra squad scrimmage Wednesday. We were going good on good and only a few JV players got in.

We line up and do our 6-8 min dynamic just like you do, then we jog the lines out and let them break it down. And hoot and hollar and do some jumping jacks.

We gave a school for troubled youth $500 and a meal to come to our place 3 yrs in a row. One year we even let them wear their new home uniforms that they never got to wear because they don't have a field. I also know that the costs of a lot of big out of state games are covered by sponsors and promoters.

Here in NC we have 2. The Shrine Bowl of the Carolina's is held in December and pits all stars from NC against All Stars from SC. It is ran by the Shriners. In about 2 weeks is the East-West game. It is players from eastern NC against players from Western NC. It is ran by the coaches association (I think) is during the state coaches clinic, and involves a lot of D2 type players and kids who didn't qualify academically. As mentioned before a lot of the best players are gone to summer school.

Just last week we caught a freshmen who filled out his own physical form. Got caught because he wrote that he was 6 foot 10 inches tall. LOL.

This is a good idea mentioned above. Also,you said you had 2 OL coaches. You only really complain about 1 of them though. Make the better one the OL coach and tell him he is in charge. Make this other snappy his assistant or TE coach or something.

I am guessing you do not have wt lifting during the school day so if they can't come after school bc of other sports do it before school.

Try to make workouts and practice as competitive and fun as possible. Start working at the lower levels to get kids to come out and be interested in football. Have youth night at a home game and middle school night etc... where those kids get in free. Basically, you have to 1) Develop a relationship with the kids in the school so that they like you and 2) Make it fun enough to pull them away from Playstation, cars, girls, and booze.
