Yesterday's sessions were a little dull And for some reason I was tired
But the highlight was meeting jerry campbell
He was awesome, I pray I have his energy when I'm his age, I'm 25, and considered myself high energy...and he makes me look like a lethargic POS

When you guys say "recruit" do you actually mean someone on staff actually goes out and recruits kids specifically for a sport? Reason I ask is because I thought private schools could legally recruit, but i found out last year they cannot. Can't here in rhode island anyway. They still break rules and are rarely punished for it, but its illegal. What private schools are required to do here is invite kids to an open house then they can recruit them. But for example going to a peewee field and recruiting is suppose to be against the rules. You guys should double check your states rules. Our AD filed a couple complaints to the state about baseball recruiting. Our kids were being recruited at batting cages and clinics which is illegal. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using proboards the ones here actively recruit... not necessarily someone who is an actual coach... but they have so many parents/boosters/fans/allies of the program that they do the recruiting for them I live in the same city as De La Salle... I hate their school and never want to see them win... obviously great coaching and program, but they poach from every city/team within an hour drive of here they have people checking out all the 7/th/8th grade youth games... scouting and trying to talk to kids. They have people visit freshman games and try to pick out the best athletes and talk them in to coming over. At my previous school, they actually had someone ballsy enough to come on to our campus during the day, attempt to get a visitor pass from the office, so he could talk to our two best freshman players about bettering their future by going to DLS... they wont target anyone after 9th grade... they want to bring them in when they begin as freshman, or occasionally after their 9th grade year elsewhere... it is disgusting... our HC at the time was a campus security and he instantly confronted him, and kicked him off of our campus... another shady thing the private schools (especially DLS) do is to hold "youth camps" to help better the young players these camps are essentially a chance for them to bring in a bunch of kids... have them do drills and see which ones complain, then have someone contact those select individuals (the biggest or most athletic kids) and talk them in to going to DLS/offer them financial aid to get in There is a huge correlation if you look at the number of kids who go to this camp they host, and the kids who very quickly decide to apply there right after so shady CA desperately needs to have a separate divisions for public schools and private/charter schools I group charter schools in with the privates because they can bring in kids from outside of their area and operate as their own entity, just like a private school... they are essentially, a free private school

every year we say it's not allowed
and we end up letting them get away with it
honestly, the only reason i even think it is a rule, is because of what outsiders would say/think... other teachers/admin/parents
i dont want my kids dropping F bombs and getting in trouble or hearing admin/teachers talk to me about their language
personally i could care less and I am so immune to it (italian mother) that I probably don't even fully hear half the swear words kids say in my class or in practice
i don't swear in class or on the field, i know it isn't "appropriate"
in my personal life, i do all the time... i have never had a problem filtering my speech while at work
generally in class I only yell at a kid for the F bomb... and even then its just a "hey stop swearing" and we move on
the following terms I think are completely acceptable from students (others might disagree) hell hella d@mn a$$
i don't even notice these words
I find the B word hilarious, but i know that's frowned upon
since i've been teaching i've tried stopping kids from gay bashing, and the F word associated with being gay... just because I know i have gay students, that's messed up IMO... HS is hard enough for them without hearing all that

I dish it out enough, I can take it when it comes back at me. One of our offensive coaches keeps a list of things I say. I'm a country boy born and raised, in the big city for the first time. So some times I'm the only one who gets my metaphors. Example: Our FS had a difficult time getting his eyes of the QB (we are base read coverage team). HC asks "how do we correct that?" I said "well...you either got to get a different dog or you gotta throw his @$$ in a barrel with a deer pelt and roll his @$$ down a hill." ~everyone just looked at me. Apparently I'm the only one to ever have a coon dog run a deer across 5 country blocks. Our oline coach says "that one goes in the book" I'm not sure if I should be honored or offended. I'm still suspicious of these city folk...if they ain't never broke no dog of chasin a deer then I just don't know what kinda folks I'm dealin with. I didn't understand a word you just said Sounds like you have a reverse my cousin vinny situation goin on

I'm starting to get a little annoyed with a non coach Huey type coach right now lol Told me I don't give him much credit for knowledge of the game and his position From the guy who doesn't research football non stop like I do Admitted to attending a clinic every year but never hearing a speaker, just going to party and hang out Say next to me in a few speaker presentations at a clinic our staff went to and took 0 notes... Literally wrote nothing down He doesn't need to learn anything or hear my input on anything, the way he's done it is better, and in a jerk for not respecting his knowledge of the game Not a Huey coach at all, that text message angered me and I just needed to vent here... Coachhuey.com, come for the football, stay for the group therapy I know guys like that...it's amazing how people can treat this game like a static job... "we've been doin it this way for 45 years....." The dinosaurs will eventually off, and that will leave job openings for us : -) Sent from my VS980 4G using proboards It's not an old guy lol

that's not so bad I wouldn't mind doing health, sometimes it is nice to be in doors and not have to deal with equipment and the constant changing environment that is teaching PE yes there is some more paperwork/grading stuff but I think if you get 1-2 good solid TAs then it isn't much extra work on yourself I passed my health csets but I haven't been able to add it yet as my intern credential is just for PE (can only intern in 1 subject) I am done with my credential now (just waiting on CTC to do the stuff on their end) then I'll be able to add my health authorization and teach it in the future... I really just want it so I have the chance to teach 6/5 for the full year I am teaching 6/5 right now (teacher out on maternity) and the extra pay is quite nice our JV HC is the only other person on campus who is PE/health credentialed and he gets 6/5 every year because of it, I am hoping I can get the same next year too would love 6/5 - wow... congrats on all your credentialing stuff - I do not miss those days... yeah most of our PE staff is getting 3 months of 6/5 credentialing stuff has been annoying (the TPAs more than anything) but being an intern is WAY better than doing student teaching, I can't imagine doing it that way... paying money for classes, while teaching for free... no thanks

Co-ops are pretty common in the small school divisions of Illinois. Two schools--or in larrymoe's case three schools--come together to form one team. Again these are small schools. For example, the combined enrollment of his program--all three schools put together--is around 350, maybe not even that big. My previous coaching job was at a different co-op program in IL and our combined enrollment for three schools was only 375 or so. ok thanks, that's what i thought, but i wasn't positive

2 years ago, I was the only one... and I really wasn't full time on campus, I was an every day sub that the principal got to work here every day
this last season we had 3... one on each level
myself (var assistant HC/OC) JV HC frosh HC
we all teach PE together and get along really well... i consider both the other guys friends and it makes work nice working and coaching with guys i enjoy hanging out/BSing with
next year we are adding a couple... they are not coaches we got added as teachers, they are teachers who have decided they want to coach... they both say they have previous experience (one was JV HC before i got there) but neither has coached in the 4 years I've been here
I am happy to get the extra on campus support (one is helping frosh, one is helping JV) our school is wall to wall academies, and each of the new teachers is in one of the 4 academies, so it should help with keeping an eye on kids... making sure they are handling business in the class room
I am hoping it works out well, but I have never seen either coach... so I always worry some when adding coaches
we have a lot of off campus coaches including the HC he has a fairly flexible schedule which allows him to come down to the school when he really needs to during the day, but he definitely has to rely on me to get a lot of the day to day business of the program going
i like it actually, it has given me a lot of experience and insight into being a HC.

i didn't think of that, good point and don't get me wrong, playing varsity in year 3 is definitely the norm... the school I am talking about is the only one I can remember in the area who played that extra year of JV and back then, EVERYBODY on the outside was talking smack about them for playing JV with all juniors but looking back, I think they made the right call and they were instantly a playoff team/league title contender once they did get seniors and went varsity A bit of a compromise is to play an independent varsity schedule in year 3 and schedule a bunch of lousy, lousy programs from around the area. Go 4-6 with all juniors and compete in all your games? Sounds like a win to me! I've seen this as well... i think either way the key is getting some wins/success in that junior year, so you actually have numbers for their senior year

One thing I'll suggest Don't play varsity til year 4 when you have seniors I seen most new programs who start with just freshman play varsity when they are juniors and they always get killed I've seen one team keep them all down and play JV... Then first varsity with first seniors and it worked well for them They of course had the best JV team around being all seniors but it have those kids confidence, kept the numbers up, and they were probably the most successful team I've seen in their first varsity season Coach, no disrespect but in many states new schools don't have a choice in this matter b/c they have to abide by a conference guideline to get admission. In other words, I'm a new school and I want to join your conference, I have to join when you accept me (unfortunately been in a tough situation similar to this). One thing I would suggest is "brand your self". In other words, find themes that you can build on, develop gear, sayings, traditions, etc and sell kids on it. The truth of the matter is, it's difficult to win in this situation but you can build pride in your kids by selling them on being pioneers. Hence, why you develop your own traditions, gear , sayings etc. Tell them they are building the foundation of a program and becoming immortals by not just passing through a program but creating it. I would also suggest you treat any of your successes with historical significance b/c quite frankly it is significant. First win, first conference win, first home win, everybody signs the ball and store it in the trophy case. Even the first varsity game regardless of the outcome still has historical significance. How many people can say they played in the 1st game in the HISTORY of a school. Sell it! It's an awesome opportunity that only happens to a few in their lifetimes. Good Luck. PS - MAKE it THEIR school. Have them develop inspirational sayings that you can post in the locker room, weight room, etc. Have them do things that not only will they remember for their lifetimes, but also something they can come back and see and say I STARTED that. That's pretty cool. i didn't think of that, good point and don't get me wrong, playing varsity in year 3 is definitely the norm... the school I am talking about is the only one I can remember in the area who played that extra year of JV and back then, EVERYBODY on the outside was talking smack about them for playing JV with all juniors but looking back, I think they made the right call and they were instantly a playoff team/league title contender once they did get seniors and went varsity

We also do a points system
Everyone here loves spring ball... We always have a ton of kids (before pads come on and it gets really hard so kids taper down)
Anyway we do a point system now, we establish a minimum to attend spring ball... You show up to spring ball and it's a point per mile u run until you get that minimum Then you join the rest of the team at spring ball

Well this thread spiraled quickly. lol. I think it's interesting the seasons this site goes through. Season 1. In season the site is virtually dead, with the occasional "we play a gun 6 wide offense this week, how do you stop the double reverse zone jet?" Threads that pop up. Season 2. After season is a time of reflection, conversation about whatever college team is doing something we like or NFL team. Complaining about things that went wrong, some Xs and Os, things that worked, things that didn't. HFC hopefuls ask about interview questions, types of programs, should they move or should they stay, etc. Season 3. Conversations are no longer X and O related, more about team building, weight room, academic stuff, clinics, scheme type stuff. New HC's ask a lot of "what do you think" or "what would you do" type questions. Season 4. Talk about spring ball, except in Ohio, we stay in season 3 because the OHSAA is an overbearing power hunger dictatorship. Conversations turn towards camps and player development. X's and O's start to creep back in. New HC's are still asking questions (which is good). Season 5. Summer. Everything is about 7 on 7. The same people who hated them last year will b!tch about them this year. Then offensive guys will talk about how much they love them. Also talk about our own camps, youth camps, 2 a days, etc. Season 6. Is during camp and we are all geared up and ready to get game 1 underway. Anyone else getting stir crazy? That was spot on I applaud you sir

some thoughts
let it go about the AD
if the community has so much money, start fundraising for new weight room equipment
talk with parents/team about the importance of lifting with each other as a team building, shared bond, brotherhood, chance to develop leadership... that's our biggest problem with a kid who is our best player and should be our team captain/a D-1 kid... as a player he is great, in season he is there... summer he is there... but all winter/spring he works out with one of his older brothers... one is a former player/coach here and a trainer at a really nice gym, the other plays at the local JC and he will work out with the older brothers
i know he is lifting, i just wish he was in our weight room to be a leader... he will only be a junior next year and is one of the best players in our county
in cases where of wealthy schools I have heard of schools hiring a "S&C coach" to come in and run the program... see if parents would be interested in that, if they are gonna pay anyway, they can all chip in together and everyone can benefit
