We do team warm ups. Not all my coaches can always make the start of practice.
I love jumping jacks as a warm up exercise, but I cannot stand trying to get 40+ teenagers to do them in sync. So we do them, but it's the most chaotic, disorganized looking thing, and I don't care. I just go around making sure they are doing them right.

So last week I've got my group of 6th-7th graders sitting in the bleachers in the gym after school waiting for time to start workouts, and they're sitting in little groups talking when, out of the blue, and to the whole group, Thing 1 says: "We talked about anal sex today in teen living."
To which Thing 2 replies, "Yeah, anal, oral, herpes, HIV and the AIDS."
You remember that scene in Jurassic Park when the girl has the jello on the spoon and looks up and sees the velociraptors? Yeah that's pretty much what I looked like.

It might have to be organized as a non-school, club type team. They have a couple of tournaments around here in the middle to end of November for youth league and all star teams to play in. I've looked at taking some of mine that are age eligible and entering a team, but would have to do it outside of the school umbrella and haven't looked at what it would take.

I keep hearing about guys simulating a game. I like the idea and we might try. There are a few on here that have talked about doing it with special teams and everything. That's what we did. I've been looking for my old scripts so I can go back to it this year. You can hit all the little oddball situational stuff pretty quickly so your kids have been exposed to things they need to see.

For me clinics are all about the speaker. If he's good it's worth the price of admission. Get a dull one or a rambler and it's a loooong day.

Probably all the administrative stuff. Paperwork, inventory, making sure everything is taken care of for games (buses for away games, field set up/staffing for home games), booster club liason?.

I have 4 paid coaches, usually try to get 1 or 2 more volunteers. Average 40-45 players a year.

As a middle school coach I'm on my 4th offense in 4 years due to turnover at the high school. The HS header when I took over had zero input or contact with us so we did what we wanted. He left and the new guy worked with us to install his offense the second year. He left after that year and the next header came in (this past season) and worked with us on running his offense. At the end of said season we have decided to make a wholesale MS-HS change to another whole new offense. Ironically what we're going to is the first offense I ran 3 years ago (hybrid wing-t), so I don't know if that actually counts as 4 offenses in 4 years or not lol.
Plus there are some rising juniors at the HS that have run a version of this offense before, so I consider myself a visionary.

that makes sense, but would you walk into their meeting and try to tell them how it is? Not without hiring/firing authority!

One of my coaches is an assistant with the HS softball team. They just put field turf in their field house, roughly a 60x60 area in a big metal building. Not sure if that's what you're talking about, but last I talked to him about it they really like it. I can ask him anything if you have any questions.

Hey, at least they know what that is. Almost all of our parents would have said "that un thur, he looks like he'z plum tartet n the head!" Always find the bright side. Understood every word. But I grew up taking my IQ tests at Cracker Barrel.

I turn total fan boy during bowls. Don't watch for this scheme or that scheme in general. Just love watching players make plays (hello LaQuon Treadwell). But I'll tell you what's frustrating is having a damn man in the backfield (like Jalen Hurd) and running him sideways from the gun looking for a cut instead of downhill from an under center set. That said, I'm enjoying bowl season.

You gotta teach 'em Manumana the Slender's 'I'm gonna get some poi' sack dance.
As for the OP, I'd like perfect attendance at practice.

Yeah, you could turf the field and build a hell of an athletic facility for a few million!

Do you mean they are giving you a $7 mil check this year to make up for what they've spent on other programs up til now? I don't really see anything on your list that couldn't be fixed a few times over by 7 million.
1. Turf the field if it's getting over used. 2. Weight room (easy #1 except for the field issues). 3. Set aside money for more coaches. 4. Buy all the new film technology. 5. Build indoor practice facility.

I've coached 5-6 year old full pads, and not just no but hell no. Also did a few years of 11-12 year olds and that seems like a good starting point.

If any of our kids shows concussions symptoms we basically have to pull him and send him to the doc and he can't play til said doc releases him. No such thing as going back in that day.

Off season? Is that really a thing? I don't know what that means. We have the pre-season, the regular season, the post-season, the strength & conditioning season (for older players), the skills development season (these last two generally run concurrently), the winter league season, the spring league season (I generally do not participate in these last two seasons, but they are available in this area), the 7-on-7 season, the clinic/camp season, and then we're back to the next pre-season. I don't have any idea how an "off-season" fits in there anywhere. Holy {censored} Doug. The reason I've stayed at the middle school and never tried to get back into HS coaching is I'm not into the grind any more. I've been getting my off season workouts going about Feb or March, and that's been plenty for me. For the OP, I don't do much of anything outside of checking this site til the middle of February. Then it's workouts, spring practice, summer workouts, play ball. This year I'm going to start working more football related stuff into my spring and summer workouts.

I'm lucky enough to have some free time during the day during the week so I go by and hang out with some of the PE classes to see the kids. I coach in the small town I grew up in so I knew some of the teachers already before I took the job so they were the first ones I'd contact. I'd just go hang out around the front desk/office during class change time and when I'd see somebody I know just shake a hand and tell 'em anything I can do to help let me know. Also go to other sports' games through the year. And not just basketball/baseball, everybody goes to those, but you can turn some heads showing up at a soccer game or wrestling match.

Has nothing to do with competing, imo. The game got cancelled for off the field stuff, emphasize that part of it.

looking at the package. other then the extra scout film..i dont see a reason to do that one over the club. especially since club is $300 dollars cheaper.... Number of accounts is the big one, I'd need at least 45 for players.
