We've got the predecessor to that model. We have extra pads, mouthpieces, shoulder pad and helmet pieces and parts for repair, tools, dry erase markers, extra jersey/pants. We keep our tees in the ball bag.

The first thing I do when looking at a pair of shorts to buy is see how deep the pockets are. If it's shallow it goes back on the rack, no questions. Learned that early on in my coaching career and all I carry to practice are the locker room keys and a practice plan.
Also, for out in the real world, I went to a front pocket wallet years ago, will never go back.

I was just thinking about this policy, as I live in TN and coach OL/DL. I'm not sure how to coach that stuff up without a pretty heavy dose of regular "contact." Then it hit me: the rule doesn't say "30 minutes of contact drills per day." It says "30 minutes of contact" per day. If you only count the time each individual player spends in contact situations, which would be whistle to whistle during drills, then I doubt any player ever gets 30 min. of contact in practice on any day, even during the regular season. What I mean is that you may work 10 minutes of 3 on 3, but if each player only gets 1-2 actual reps per minute (because you're rotating other groups in and out), then that player may really only get about 1:30 of actual "contact" from the drill. That's just a drop in the bucket. Anyone else taking this approach in states that have instituted similar rules? Per TSSAA rules meeting it's 'per group'. So if you do 10 minutes of full contact, it counts for everybody that was in that drill.

I don't think it sounds like a bad gig at all, especially if it fits within the bigger career track picture.

Last year we had opposing ball carriers in 2 different games get flagged for illegal contact because they lowered their head and trucked our FS and LB. I'm probably not long for this game.

Our MS programs (5th-8th) run our stuff and I have never thought about making it optional. I agree that there should be some flexibility offered and there are plenty of more important things than scheme (fundamentals and enjoying the game), but refusing to work towards the HS program because it's not what you want to do is not doing anyone any favors.
If I'm not mistaken I believe 33 doesn't work towards one high school, I think he's in an area with multiple middle schools feeding multiple high schools. If I were in that situation I'd run what I wanted to run too. I run the high school stuff here because I'm the only MS, they're the only HS, and we sell it as we're all Pioneers. Technically I could run whatever I want to, but it helps relationship and PR wise to be all together. Of course we're on our third header at the HS in 3 years, so I'm on my 3rd offense in 3 years too. That gets frustrating.

Just got back from our meeting. For us the 30 minutes, 3 times a week is for in season/post season. Pre-season rules are mostly like last year (no 2 a days on consecutive days, etc). Sounded to me like a lot of people are going to walk the line of what is considered a predetermined winner in a drill. If they have the ones beating the scout team and the scouts not tackling to the ground they don't consider that full contact. That sounds like a fine line to me, at best. Also instead of rotating them, you can split your ones and twos, do 15 minutes of inside with the ones while the twos are elsewhere doing something, then bring the twos in and send the ones off. 15 minutes for each group instead of 30 for all if you rotated.

I understand your thoughts on your personality and priorities (I can relate), but as Head Coach(?) of a co-op team part of the responsibility, imo, is to make sure the players from the other schools know you consider them as much a part of your team as the ones from your school. I'm just a middle school coach, but its the only middle school team here in the county, and we have 5 K-8 elementary schools in smaller communities out in the county so any of their kids that want to play have play with us. It doesn't take much, but I make an effort to make sure I'm going to them to be seen occasionally outside of football season. One or two basketball games a week in the winter, maybe set up a morning meeting once a month at that school to keep in touch (bring doughnuts and you'll be the most caring SOB ever). To me it's just part of the job in that situation, and you can do it without sacrificing your family time or raising their kids for them.

Went to the local bottling company and got some used coolers. Dropped some old weights in them and use them as prowlers. Old fire hose from the local dire dept. for running plays on air. Made a version of these to do KB swings:

Back in the fall when I started looking my Russell rep showed my some sublimated b-ball jerseys and said he believes football will eventually start going to them. Some are already doing trim and inserts with sublimation but I don't know if anybody is doing a full jersey yet. It seems to be a thinner more flexible material so I don't know about durability, maybe that's something they're working out?

Is there anything special or different about screen printing numbers on our jerseys? We need new uniforms and one thing I'm looking into is buying blank jerseys and have a local shop number them, if that's possible and/or feasible.

Oh man we had an Odyssey growing up, that was my first football game.
Also, since Super Toe is my avi on Twitter, I speak from experience when I say be careful when you do a google image search for 'Super Jock' and 'Super Toe'. Some things cannot be unseen.

This reminds me of a study I read about in a (I think Malcolm Gladwell) book where they took people from different cultures and said we're going to give $100 to person A, and he gets to decide how to split it up between himself and person B. After he decides who gets what, person B decides if he wants to take the deal, and if he says no then nobody gets any money. People from some cultures would say no to the deal if they we're going to get substantially less because they felt the split wasn't 'fair', and some other cultures would say yes regardless of the split because it's basically free money and as little as $10 was better than nothing. Maybe it doesn't apply here, but it made me think of the 'fairness' argument.

How many Americans play organized football at some point in their life? I know it's gotta be less than 50%. Even if we are just talking males, it's still less than 50%. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using proboards We have roughly 10% of our male students play football in a given year at our middle school, county-wide we're roughly 5%.

...problem is she's verbally committed to play for another team...but she's made official visits the past 2 weekends so she is not very solid on that verbal and I currently have a scholarship available so... Damn, if you can get her to not play for the other team you really are my hero.
