You'll see some lawsuits because some coaches won't know details or claim ignorance
I've had people tell me they'll just take their team out of state to a camp
I think that is illegal Cuz the law applies to CA teams Not teams doing practice in only California
Also read somewhere that if 11 or more kids attend a padded college camp the HC would get fined and subject to arrest

Good luck with that Camps will have to happen later in the summer (no contact outside of pre season and in season Pre season defined as 30 days prior to season starting)
The language of the law says something like Contact at game like speeds So saying we only went "thud" would not hold up in court The contact was at game like speed OL/DL one on ones even though it isn't full team still have contact at game like speeds for them so that's counts into your 90 minutes of time 2x per week

The thing that I'm the worst at is getting to know a lot about some of the players off of the field. I don't work at the school so I don't see them outside of practice so unless we've talked about their grades in the office or their parents come around it's tough to get to know what's going on in their lives. it is good and it is bad I work at the school, and being the youngest var coach (26) the kids have an easy time connecting to me and opening up (i listen to some of the same music, wear similar clothes etc.) In someways it is good to know about their lives, but the problem is once you know, you can't un-know it some kids lives just suck (we are in a poor area) some of these kids have it bad parents not wanting them and just leaving them behind

everyone has HUDL nowadays
there are a ton of sites who film and host full games online, you can find all the film you want heck you can even just browse through kids hudl highlights and see a lot
our league (6 team league, last 5 games) has mandatory film of previous 2 games, we trade saturday morning through hudl this has been the rule for a while all the coaches are pretty good about if a coach wants more film, they comply and ask for more too by the time it gets to the end of league, youve seen just about everybodys whole season
we added a rule this year that JV/Freshman will exchange at least 1 game

We do a good job teaching the game but I want to see my freshmen doing more tough physical things such as Oklahomas. this is the exact opposite of how i feel about our lower levels haha

Some kids you just can't if you want to win and keep your job
I've had kids that were serious health concerns if they actually played against someone good, they might get killed
We get these kids in during big wins (we had 3 blow outs )
For the ones who do have one skill we try to sneak them in here and there for a play Maybe utilize their one skill set
You can't leave these kids on the field more than a play or two ... The other coach finds em if it is longer than that haha

I feel I'm a good OL coach both fundamentally and schematically. I'm a good coach at making run game adjustments and calling plays. I need to improve in my use of window dressing to give defenses more to look at. I need to improve not necessarily the number of times I throw, but the efficiency of our passing offense

Our yearly calendar looks like this Crab feed in December 7-10k Sell BBQ sandwiches at this art show/fair hosted at our school every may 1k Liftathon every spring ball 6-8k Car washes in summer (for transportation fee ) 5-6k My camp in summer 8-10k Good cards in August 2k Working on putting together a golf tourney this spring or summer that we will do along with baseball (I teach with baseball coach and he's a good friend) Another easy thing is to set up a team store Fans and kids can get link and buy apparel They pay online Ships to them You get a % or whatever you've marked up each item I have heard of the store thing. What website do you use? We did ours through Sports Chalet you pick the items you want (they suggest around 12 because a minimum number of each item has to be ordered or theyll cancel that item and refund ) you give them your logo you choose how much you want to sell everything for, and the start and end date of your online store usually between 1-2 weeks because they dont start making the clothes and shipping it until the online store closes. We did it 2x during this season. Took me no more effort than a few emails, cost us nothing. We marked up every single item by $5. So for every item sold, we made $5 for the program. They send a check at the end of it all. I had a mix of cheap no name brand stuff for people wanted to save, and a few nike things because I have a Nike obsession. They also give you a flyer with the store website on it. I sent the link out to our parent/player email list the all school staff list and to each student through our schoolLoop I ordered a ton of stuff on there, looks good was great because people could get some things we would NEVER bulk order and sell like our usual spirit pack stuff and apparel we sell at games bags, beanies, socks, stadium seats... kinds of stuff that is a gamble to order in bulk then sell... easily done through the site. There are plenty of other companies that do this type of stuff, and I am sure some local ones do it. I know Nike has team store options. I just think it is win win. A few emails for the coach parents, kids, and fans can order whatever they want, whatever size they want, shipped to their house... you make a little bit of money... even if you only get a few hundred bucks back from it... it cost you the time it takes to send a few emails

Just FYI to posters from other states this is a big rule change for some depending on section (CA has I believe 10 or 11 sections)
In our section (NCS) since like 05ish there have been no rules for summer
You could practice in full gear full contact every day if you wanted Other sections had tighter rules
Our section got rid of rules because they got tired of fielding complaints about de la Salle practicing all summer... De la Salle gets away with murder but NCS loves it because they always win so it makes NCS look good and they make NCS a lot of money because they get the playoff money

I actually like the rule change for the most part
I think it is just too hard on the kids I'm only 26 and the amount of football over the summer is triple what it was when I played
I think it'll help keep coaches and players from being burnt out
Focus on speed agility and lifting Some non padded no contact drills to work fundamentals and install your O and D
And we can pad up 2x a week beginning 30 days out from season Which will either be last week of July or first of August depending if they define start of season as your first game or your scrimmage. Lots of things up in the air still, open to interpretation and cloudy... We are all supposed to get some clear info on can and can't do activities and timeline from CIF some time in January... Or so says my AD

Our is odd because it is January but it is the tradition here i do not mind it because it is far enough removed that everyone can relax from the emotion of whatever our last game was and how much we might hate some kids
we do it at our town's histroical society/sports hall of fame
this city has had a lot of great individual players, some NFL guys, and an NFL HOFer so the local legends hall of fame is pretty cool looking
upstairs is a big open room, downstairs the museum/HOF aspect
we meet upstairs, HC gives a brief speech we serve pasta and salad everyone goes through the line to get their plate and then we all sit down and eat while watching a highlight tape i make
after we eat coaches go up and give awards. We just give short speeches 30-60 seconds about the kid we are presenting the award to and he comes up, shake hands, maybe take a pic and then on to the next
we give A TON of awards, i hate it we have the usual O, D, and overall MVP but then we have about a dozen other awards we are required to give out we have these "legends" awards that are named after alumni Best DL, OL, RB, blah blah blah those ones are big trophies that stay there at that location, the player's name gets engraved on it with the year
just sucks, because we HAVE to give them out and some years no one deserves it but we have to give it to someone
we usually give out 2 coaches awards, for those kids who just bust their butt, might not be our best players but they give everything their body has in it, the kind of kids you enjoy coaching

Thinking of getting a Nike set I literally only own Nike stuff Extreme brand loyalty
Their rep came by It's expensive but they take 2k off the price when you switch a set to them And if we order by February it's 35% off of retail
We've been wanting an all gray set just look fancy

Exactly
You can easily go on any newspapers website and get box scores
Or even just send hudl requests to other opponents and they'll often send stuff

i teach PE
i have 2 prep periods, 1st and 7th (last class )
so the middle of my day is very full
one of my classes is cyber high in a computer lab so any sort of computer work i need to get done i do during that class
i try to keep most things set up ahead of time because I know my day is pretty busy, although i have 2 preps, i often am period subbing on one of them
night before i pack up my backpack, my game day clothes, camera bags, tripod, ipad, etc. i wake up at 5:30 get ready, throw everything in the back of my car go to the gym for about 45, pick up a player i bring to school every morning, and then get to school before 8
i ALWAYS have to have chipotle for lunch on game day... this is our bye week, and I am still eating chipotle today (friday)
i usually go 7th if im off, or run there right after school if i have to sub. I order on the mobile app so it is ready when i get there, eat it then head back to school to make sure kids arent screwing around
biggest headache of the day is making sure no one does anything to get in trouble during the school day, and the occasional dummy who is missing some piece of equipment

Offensively I pump up the kids with our stats Especially my OL Fat kids don't get any love So if I can tell them they're blocking for the 3rd leading rusher in CA it gives them a little love

We haven't had any issues but I can see what you mean
Some of the stats are very elevated Especially defensively
Offensive stats are kept by local newspapers so it's easy for me to add them from box scores
Defensive guys are terrible lol Last year this teams FS had almost 100 solo tackles and only like 20 assisted tackles... Come on man... Really?

Post by coachbdud on Sept 28, 2014 16:43:57 GMT -6
For the last few years I've run the offense Coached the OL and that's all
I haven't coached any defense That said I think I am a solid DL coach (because of my understanding of how offense and OL play work)
On game days I like it, I can focus on O only. At practice it is so boring
