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 doesnt fit your program, youre
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

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)

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 dont 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):
period
45 minutes offense
30 minutes defense
Organizing the Practice, Timing

We can rob some time from Defense
for Offense (install weeks only):
period
55 minutes offense
20 minutes defense
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 arent you
drinking water?
More efficient for the body to process

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)

time
Hitting the Sled:

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 dont 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?
