this brings out the differences across the country when it comes to Juco football CA Juco ball is non scholly, however... it is the best state for Juco football... why? access there are a TON of JC football teams... i mean theres like 6 or 7 within an hour drive of where i live i wanna say theres something like 17 states besides CA that even have Juco Football... and of those 17 a few only have 1 or 2 teams total for the entire state... the county i live in has 3 so here, all we californians know is non scholly JC when i learned kids could "commit" to JCs and get schollys there... it was mind bottling ... you know, like things get so crazy your thoughts get trapped, like in a bottle where do most CA Juco kids live?
Do they mostly live at home, do they have campus housing?
How much recruiting do CA Jucos do? Are they mostly living off kids who already live within a reasonable commuting distance?
most of the kids come from CA and commute to the school. Juco's are everywhere and all but a few have football teams again, 7 or so within an hour of my house 12 or more if i expand my drive time to 2 hours some kids do room together and live in an apartment... they dont have "on campus" housing... at least the ones i have visited, but every JC has apartments literally directly across the street from them you'll see a few out of state guys move to CA for Juco ball City college in San Francisco is usually the best team in the state and arguably nation one thing that makes them so good is for years their HC (who just retied) owns an apartment complex... directly across from the school. So he can let some super stud players live there (6 or so players in an apartment) for next to nothing

We did it at a place I was at a few years ago with a ball autographed by Peyton Manning. We sold tickets for $1 each in the stands at every home game and announced the winner at halftime of Senior Night. We made a couple thousand off it. It turned out that it was technically illegal in our state, though. Never thought of doing that with an old ball signed by the team, but I like the idea. it is something we do every year as one of our auction prizes at our crabfeed like i mentioned above it is basically a "football team memorabilia basket" this year's went for higher than usual, first league title in a long long long time so it was worth more to the old people bidding it is always made of stuff we don't want or cant use again we get a ton of footballs (former game balls) who just run out of life and the bladders wont hold air anymore... so we pump them up, sign them, pump it up before the auction and it looks nice we sign rejected helmets we couldnt wear again anyway give away jerseys we have doubles of (equipment company screwed up gave us multiples of a couple jerseys) and ripped jerseys are great too since we re order those numbers

We do a large Crabfeed with our music program (school tradition thing, been going on for 25 years)
We have various auction prizes, one of them is a "football pack" Signed helmet, ball, shirts and shorts Just some general memorabilia ... Usually goes for 4-500 bucks
This year we also auctioned off a pack of our RB's stuff. His jersey, cleats, and a ball all signed by him ... It went for 1700 bucks Good deal because his jersey was ripped and we had to re order a new one anyway, the ball was flat/dead, and he runs through cleats every few weeks anyway
So all of the stuff was pretty much useless to the football team and our back in the future

What do coaches do during spring ball? I feel Spring Ball in Ca (Helmets only) is more towards skill guys. Trying to find way to get lineman involved. Also, what do you do on d days to teach run stuff? we never use helmets cleats and shorts only we do not do a ton of contact even in full gear so spring ball in no gear really doesnt matter to me we use bags/handshields as the OL coach i love it, i get a ton of time to work on basic indy stuff teaching them MY teaching progression stance steps you can spend spring ball working the heck out of just that we learn the drills to get better at all of our blocks needed for our core schemes we learn (through steps, and controlled reps) how to -down block -base block -double -pull for power -pull for counter -b gap hinge -buck pulls -quick pass pro -dropback pass pro -sprint out i can use our indy time to teach the scheme/play meanwhile the skinny kids are running around through cones and learning routes and plays and other stupid lame stuff a spring ball practice is not that different from a summer or in season practice for me... only i have JV kids with me and we have to do a little more stance and explaining early on for defense the approach is similar... we do not need to work team run fits really. We get better with indy time we do some 7on7 we work a lot of READS for each position group any team we do is more for alignment and checking for understanding (yes i used an educational term to talk about football)

i have a lot of the same feelings as many of you
the sport of wrestling is great... kids are competing, there is no "hiding" on a wrestling mat... you kick his @ss or he kicks yours
build toughness, great for teaching leverage and body control
the problem is weight loss, and for some kids even weight maintenance kind of goes against everything that i want them to do in the off season... which is to GET BIGGER
we have a few real BIG kids... for them, weight loss would be great and i wish our bigger kids would wrestle... but some are too big... and who wants to practice and never get to play/compete
i never try to persuade a kid to not wrestle, but i also do not beg them to wrestle in the off season like i do with track
our wrestling program is way down too, so not a ton of kids want to do it... sad really, our school was a POWER HOUSE state champion level program back in the day
we typically have 1 or 2 kids per year who are good wrestlers and good football players
had a DE who went to state a few years ago a TE who went to state last year and our starting QB actually won the league title last week

I love this site and it's good to see it getting some pub. A lot of guys just don't know about it. It's perfect for all the junkies. this site isn't for everyone the topic of a "huey coach" vs "non huey coach" came up awhile back here... some guys wouldn't benefit from this site they're stuck in their ways, don't like sharing ideas etc. not that someone who is not a member can't be an amazing coach, but i personally know a lot of coaches who are not members that i think would not buy in to this site "i don't need to take advice from a bunch of j@ck@sses on some website"

clinics are social for me now this and twitter are my daily learning sites... i go to clinics to try to get 1 good idea just curious..what do you learn off twitter? I am getting a lot of news and business info from twitter but football not so much.. I mean I get some fun stuff and some quotes but not much more news and stuff is cool the key is to find good people to follow who share a lot for example (self plug ) coachbdud i post a ton on twitter and my blog finding bloggers or guys with their own sites is a great resource... we/they post links to articles, drills, schemes, just a lot of good ideas guys like alex kirby, james light, todd greene, lecharles bentley... you need to find individuals that post good stuff, not "companies" or "espn" types

A cool thing... We just had our league finals (from here they move on to section and eventually state)
Our starting QB won league in his weight
So he has 2 league titles so far this year
He's also decent at tennis
I'm going to make a strong push for him as senior athlete of the year

Nice kid, has an A in my class, but as flamboyant as you'll ever see

Non-Saturday guys: I want to pitch this to the staff. I'm sold on cutting Saturdays but what do you do about... Laundry-I've always started the laundry that night...soaking awful ones in a trashcan full of Biz/Tide/Water overnight and starting the uniforms that didn't get much play. Anyone soak all uniforms over the entire weekend and then have "trainers/managers" work on them on Monday while we lift/film/practice? I'd like to turn at least one Saturday a month into a "Super Saturday" that would be a canoe trip, NCAA Game, tailgating party, paintball, bowling, whatever event that focused on just getting the guys together but for a different reason. I think hacking Saturdays all together will help get this done and will give kids more experiences. i/we don't do team laundry that is weird to me i guess

We scrapped Saturday morning film for the following reasons 1. Kids have stuff going on. Some work. Some go see their other parent on weekends (divorced parents) some go out of town, some go camping/hunting/fishing (our town is an interesting mix of country folk and ghetto) 2. I always hated it because that early in the morning I've maybe had time to watch it once Let alone add positive and negative feedback Can't grade it yet Unless I run on just a couple hours of sleep Some teams like to just wing it and talk about stuff as it comes up but that's too unfocused for my taste You schedule it later in the day and it's a complete day ruiner... Both kids and coaches lose a whole day essentially I think this is one of those things that was necessary years ago, but with hudl... I can add notes when I have time Saturday, share them... And little Johnny can watch it on hudl on his iPhone while he takes a crap over he weekend It's not like "back in the day" where there was 1 scout tape, maybe you made a few copies and you were he only ones with the video... Kids needed to Come to you to get it It's 2016 I Easier ways to share information Shoot I can periscope myself grading the film if I wanted and all the kids can watch while getting stupid turnt

Many of you have posted that you got rid of Saturdays. Do you just do game film Monday with team? How do you make this work? yeah we do film by playlists no reason to watch a whole game i do notes on film (both our own and scout film) we review our own game clips with notes and i review a short playlist of the opponent... 10-15 plays only the kids dont need to see 30 clips of the same defensive front and coverage i show a few fronts, any blitz i want them to see coverage and highlight any super stud we wanna avoid, or weak defender we wanna attack

i get the luxury of speaking with a TON of top NCAA coaches
from talking to them about IMG they think it is stupid don't get me wrong, they are gonna recruit them like crazy because they have so many D1 kids there its ridiculous
but they all have said theyd never let one of their own sons go there
1. too many talented kids... there's always D1 kids sitting on the bench... and they want to get everyone out so they rotate often, but no matter what guys who would be the best player on their local team, are sitting on the sideline for stretches at a time 2. not a real HS environment... the stadium is empty on game days... like less than 100 people on average 3. the kids who go there would have all of the offers/attention whether they played there or stayed at their local school
