Syllabus
• General assumptions
– Practice times
– Practice length
• Preseason
– Organizing your staff
• The “optimal” coaching staff
– Crop Rotation
• Alternative ideas for smaller or larger staffs
– Organizing your overall practice
• Offense
• Defense
• Special teams
Syllabus
• Preseason, continued:
– Organizing your offensive practice plan
• Breaking the offense into manageable chunks
• Putting together an installation plan
• Practice
– Eliminating time wasting
– Getting reps
• The Offensive Repetition Checklist (ORC)
Syllabus
• Practice Overviews
– Weeks one and two
• Offensive installation and review
– Weeks three and four
• Review and focusing
Assumptions
• Youth teams, preseason
– Generally practice three to five times per week
– Generally cannot practice more than two hours
per session
– Generally play on Saturdays or Sundays
– Generally have fifteen total practice sessions
before a scrimmage event
– Generally have five additional practice sessions
before the first game
Assumptions
• Youth teams, practice numbers:
– Total practices before the first game: 20
10 – preseason
5 – prescrimmage
5 – pregame
Warning!
This is a guideline, not a cast-in-steel
method!
If it doesn’t fit your program, you’re going
to have to modify it!
Organizing the Staff
• The Optimal Staff
– Reade Philosophy
• “Whatever the other guy has”
– Not really accurate. (SV – 9 man staff, Tom – 6)
» 10 incompetent coaches
» 3 competent ones
– Reed Philosophy
• “Army of One”
– Dumb slogan
– Inefficient use of practice time
Organizing the Staff, continued
• Things to think about:
– EVERY player needs to be coached by the
head man!
– EVERY coach needs to be developed
– EVERY part of the team is important
Organizing the Staff, continued
• Optimal size for youth staff
– 3 Assistants
– 1 Director (Head coach, coordinator, etc.)
• Breakdown
– Offensive Linemen
– Offensive Backfield
– Receivers
– Head coach rotates every day (crop
rotation)
Organizing the Staff, continued
• Benefits:
– Every kid gets face time with the main man
– Every coach gets immediate feedback on
his coaching
– Nothing gets left behind as long as the
person most responsible is involved!
Organizing the Staff, Alternatives
• For the smaller staff:
– 3 coaches
• Offensive line
• Backfield
• Tight Ends alternate with line and backs
– Follow the head coach (Can be a benefit)
– 2 coaches
• Offensive line
• Backs and receivers
– Swap every day
Organizing the Staff, Alternatives
• Ideas for the larger staff:
– Most inexperienced coach with the most
experienced
– Most eyes on the most important
– Rookies always with the head coach
Organizing the Staff, Numero Uno!
• Never let an inexperienced coach work
alone!
– Puts kids at risk
• “Forbidden” drills
– Puts the program at risk
• Incorrect teaching of fundamentals
• “Professionalism” mistakes
– Comments
– Anger/frustration
– Disciplinary problems
Organizing the Practice
• Football has three halves!
– Offense
– Defense
– Special teams
The one you don’t perfect will beat you!
Organizing the Practice, Planning
• Three critical points to every practice:
– Must warm up in some fashion
– Must practice fundamentals of play
(stance, start, blocking, tackling)
– Must condition players
Organizing the Practice, Planning
• Think through program:
– Offense
• Less reacting, more acting
• Requires more honing
• Must practice fundamentals of stance and blocking!
– Defense
• Requires more walk-through/live action
• Must practice fundamentals of tackling!
– Special Teams
•
•
•
•
•
Almost entirely walk through/live action
Few drills
Fundamentals can be practiced with offense and defense
Each rep takes longer
Fewer plays
Organizing the Practice, Overview
• Unadjusted practice timeline:
– Two hour practice:
• 30 minutes warm up and fundamentals period
(speed building, flexibility, tackling, blocking)
• 30 minutes offense
– At least one third must be team
• 30 minutes defense
– At least one third must be team
• 30 minutes special teams
– Almost entirely team
Organizing the Practice, Timing
• We can rob some time from Special
Teams for Offense (install weeks only):
– 30 minutes warm up and fundamentals
period
– 45 minutes offense
– 30 minutes defense
– 15 minutes special teams
Organizing the Practice, Timing
• We can rob some time from Defense for
Offense (install weeks only):
– 30 minutes warm up and fundamentals
period
– 55 minutes offense
– 20 minutes defense
– 15 minutes special teams
Organizing the Practice, Finding time
• Stealing back practice time:
– No water breaks!
• Players carry water bottles.
– No bottle, no practice
• During standing time, players drink water in
sips.
– Cuts down on chatter – “Billy, why aren’t you
drinking water?”
– More efficient for the body to process
Organizing the Practice, Finding time
– No conditioning!
• Condition within the practice
– Always high speed (no walking, no waiting)
– Sprint whenever you move about the field
» Quick exercises
» Check stances
– If you have a sled, USE IT!
» Cadence
» Level
» Hit (three yards on initial pop)
» Drive (sustain for seven yards)
Organizing the Practice, Finding time
• Hitting the Sled:
Organizing the Practice, Finding time
– Few drills!
• Drill only if it cuts DOWN the time needed
– “Hammer drill” for linebackers: 52 reps in three
minutes
– “West Point”: Three reps in twenty minutes
• Do not change the timeline just to add a drill!
Organizing the Practice, Daily planning
• Practice everything, every day!
– “Trickle in” teaching
– Deals with absenteeism
– Coaches don’t have to wait two days to fix
a problem
Organizing the Offense
• First division: Series
– How important is this series to my offense?
– How often will I call the plays from this
series?
– Why will I call the plays from this series?
– How crucial is the success of this series?
Organizing the Offense, continued
• The Wade Double Wing:
– Three series
• Toss
– 12 plays
» 8 core, 4 sideboarded
• Wedge
– 3 1/2 plays
• Jet Sweep
– 8 plays
Organizing the Offense, continued
• Second division: Play
– How often will I call this play?
– Why will I call this play?
– How crucial is the success of this
play?
Organizing the Offense, continued
• Play types:
– Core
•
•
•
•
Primary focus of series
Represents the series 60% of the time
Forces defense to adjust, opens up rest of the series
24 Toss (Tight Rip 88 Super Power)
– Counter
• Primary misdirection off core
• Takes advantage of defensive adjustments to core
• 45 X-Toss (Tight Rip 47-C)
Organizing the Offense, continued
• Play types:
– Pass
•
•
•
•
Deep threat, stretches field vertically
Quick strike threat
Forces defense to move out of the “box”
Attacks weaker defenders downfield
– MPPs at corner/safety
• 24 Toss Pass (Red Red)
– Big play
• Not “trick play”
– Tricks: 1-3 times per game, Big Plays: 5-9
• Huge chunks of yards in a hurry
• 30 Draw
Organizing the Offense, continued
• Play types:
– Sideboard
• Plays you’d like, but don’t need

time
