Anybody using it? I just saw where they had a new level for us middle school programs. How long has it been out? I sent them an email earlier this year about something like this but never got a reply, I would've loved to have had it this year.

That is hilarious. And why I don't want music on the practice field.

Is anybody's public school so good that they can question IMG's academics? This is a school who's express purpose is to put kids in college, why do we think they're education wouldn't prepare the students for that? How long do you think they last if they get kids scholarships but the kids can't get into school?
I don't say this to bash public schools or teachers. I'm not one, but I talk to enough that I understand all the {censored} y'all have to wade through and I wonder why anyone would do it (it's obviously not my calling).

Sounds like some quality youth/middle school coaches in the making. Plenty of coaching to get your football fix, but plenty of time off to spend on your boat!

I will admit that as a youth/middle school coach, I'm over here rolling in schadenfreude watching Rex Ryan bag on college coaches for 'not teaching anything'.

Somebody that gets paid mid 6 figures and up to do nothing but coach football whining about new employees not already trained on how to do something? Piss off. How about all you guys not run the same offense then you might find somebody you can use.

Have to respectfully disagree with dc. They've announced Bad Boys 3 AND 4, no way I'm not seeing those. Why?! So you can watch slick willy slow walk into every scene with a designer suit on? You say that like it's a bad thing.

We had a girl come out when I was at the high school. We treated her like every other player, eventually she got trucked by our top RB in a 1 on 1 drill. Didn't see her again. We didn't specifically tell anybody to run her off, but we didn't tell anybody to take it easy either. If she'd stayed after that hit she deserved to watch from the sidelines with the rest of the 'not ready for a game' level players.

We won our first game last night. Ran power all damn night. Could've pitched a shutout but got a lot of kids in the game. Took 'em 2 series against our thirds to get in the end zone. Haven't watched the film yet so I still feel good about it lol.

Between games at our jamboree this past weekend we were discussing why going behind the QB on our wing trap blew up the play earlier, with said wing.
Me: "Wing, you need to go inside the QB to get behind the trap block in the 1 hole."
Wing: "I know coach, I ran into the fullback and was too deep so I just took it from behind."

I am a little late sorry... I must have keys, wallet, and cell phone at all times... Long story short, having lived through a campus "bombing" incident and seeing so many people not have their essential items with them I swore to keep it with me 24/7... I need to be ready to go NOW!!! Athletic shorts which must have 3 pockets. Period. Cargo's are great for the extra pockets to hold a water but got too heavy... Keys in front left pens, phone and chapstick in front right wallet in back - hopefully zipped up You get used to it coachbdud I like the old iphone idea... damn kids took our old iphone 4's... need to improvise Anyone have some good 3 pocketed athletic shorts? The ones I got from eastbay are super long and when you got short a$$ legs it looks funny haha... If you like the idea of cargo shorts Google 'water shorts'. They are cargo short styled but made of nylon or polyester or some form of lightweight synthetic. I would recommend finding an outdoor apparel store (the ones that have 'outfitter' in the name) and trying some on to find ones you like, they can be cut slimmer than athletic shorts. And everybody knows keys go in the right and phone goes in the left pocket.

We went to a jamboree yesterday and wore our volleyball knee pads under our game pants. The refs told me after one of the games that this past week they were specifically told about these by the TSSAA that they were illegal and should not allow players to wear them even in varsity scrimmages. They didn't make a big deal about it with us, and even agreed that it was a better pad and protection, they just wanted us to know they were being told to not allow them.

We have a machine for the bulk paint. It's been sitting in the corner for at least the last 20 years because nobody wants to get it working and maintain it. I have no idea what paint costs but it would have to be immensely cheaper to make us go that route.

Agreed Only old dudes go naked in locker rooms I go to several gyms and all locker rooms are the same Old dudes naked, everyone else uncomfortably walking by I worked in the Student Aquatic Center/Fitness Center in college. Some things can't be unseen. Like a 65 year old Psych professor drying his sack under the warm air hand dryer.

Quick update if anybody cares. We went to the volleyball knee pads/girdles/shorts for practice with my middle school team this year. One week into practice and getting very positive feedback from the kids. Most seem to really like it. I just have 5 pocket girdles now, they were more cost effective with buying knee pads too. Hopefully will move to integrated girdles at some point.
Thoughts at this point:
-I have to wash girdles daily now. When they were taking them home I would have one or two a day forget them then we had to check out a spare girdle to them for the day. Also I'm instituting a policy of if you don't have your girdle I'm not breaking out another one for you, you get to wear practice pants that day.
-Do you do anything to mark or number the knee pads? I got black ones and took them to a local print shop and had them press some numbers on. Waiting to see if they stay on. But I need some way to track who got which pair because they have to turn them in at the end of the year.

We're no huddle and sometimes I wonder if I should just go back to huddling because we usually end up standing around waiting for the ball to be set and the play clock to start. We don't push tempo at all because there's no need.

According to the Principal I didn't get fired, they just didn't renew my contract.

Our state has a mandated 2 week dead period for all sports, the week before and the week of the 4th. No contact with players, can't use school facilities. 2 of my favorite weeks of the year.
(of course AAU b-ball and travel baseball don't fall under this because they're not school teams as long as it's not the school coach running the team)

As long as you keep having great seasons the team will probably make it through. Soon as things get sideways it could get ugly. I think the key brought up by others in this thread is how is he when it's not his ball? Does he block? Carry out good fakes? Pump up his teammates if he's not in? The answer to these gives you how to handle it, imo. If he blocks, fakes, helps teammates, that's what you point out to them. If not, you point that out to him.

We do a tackling circuit with 3-4 stations and a blocking period that's either position specific (no rotation) or team on the sled every day. Occacsionally we do a ball security/one on one type circuit with 3-4 stations of fumble recovery, ball strip, goal line running/tackling, but I can see not doing it nearly as much any more with the contact limitations now.
