WHO IS THE BETTER TEAM
THE ANSWER IS TO TAKE THOSE 13
OFFENSIVE SITUATIONS AND INSERT
THEM INTO A SPECIFIC DAY IN YOUR
WEEKLY GAME WEEK SCHEDULE AND
IN YOUR PRESEASON SCHEDULE.
LVR: THURSDAY “GL / SY”
MONDAY “2 MINUTE” / “3 DEFENSES”
“PRESEASON PLANNING”
COME UP WITH A 4 WEEK
PRESEASON CALENDAR ON THE
COMPUTER AND PLUG IN
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO COVER.
TRICK IS TO STICK WITH IT WHEN
THINGS DON’T LOOK PERFECT.
DEVELOP A “CHECKLIST” FOR EVERY
ASPECT OF PRACTICE; FOR EXAMPLE
TEAM PUNT, KICK OFF, SWEEP DRILL,
PURSUIT DRILL, TACKLING CIRCUIT, ECT.
IMPORTANT FOR PRESEASON PLANNING
LENAPE VALLEY--EVERY 4TH DAY FROM
THE FIRST DAY OF PRACTICE WE
WORK ON “GOAL LINE / SHORT
YARDAGE / 2 POINT PLAYS”.
2 SEASON APPROACH
“PRESEASON”
FIRST DAY OF PRACTICE TILL “GAME
SCRIMMAGE”
MUST SELL THIS MENTALITY TO
COACHES AND PLAYERS (DIFFICULT)
MAKE A LIST OF EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO
COVER TO WIN THE FIRST GAME
DEVELOP AN INSTALLATION SCHEDULE FOR
EVERY PHASE OF THE GAME—OFFENSE /
DEFENSE / SPECIAL TEAMS / LIFTING /
CONDITIONING***
