    Selecting Assistant Coaches
    GOOD PEOPLEYou can always train good people to be
    good football coaches

    Expectations of Assistant Coaches

    Be positivenegative thinking produces negative results.


    Attitudeteam will reflect coaches attitudes, negative or
    positive. Must cooperate with one another in all of our dealings
    with the team, arguments/discussions need to happen away
    from players. Everyone will voice their opinions in most cases,
    but once a decision is made, everyone must adhere and
    publicly agree with that decision.
    TeachingCannot complain about the players talent levels,
    must work to make what is present better. Fundamental are the
    only way to improve a player physically. TEACH IT, SHOW IT,
    DONT YELL IT!

    Dont just use techniques just because you have used them for
    years or your high school coach used it, make certain that they are
    achieving the purpose that they are specifically intended for.

    LoyaltyThe staff must be extremely loyal: to the head coach,


    to other coaches, to players, etc.
    CharacterTo exhibit character and never embarrass a player
    or yourself, your family, the program through inappropriate
    behavior.

    TRAINERS

    Inseason: Base Offense & Defense


    Base Offense & Defense
    It is extremely important to make our
    football programs more unifiedFlag to
    Varsity there are uniform expectations:
    terminology, fundamentals, base plays,
    practice schedules, etc.
    After the base, then each coach can add in
    their own wrinkles.
    This is the best plan to train our coaches
    and kids as well as to produce high level
    football in our community at all our levels.

    Inseason: Game Planning


    Game Planning
    Learn the talent level and skills of the players on your team.
    PLAN TO DO WHAT YOU DO BEST!
    Scout your opponent and find out what weaknesses they have
    (based on their scheme or their personnel). Create a game plan
    on what players/sides you want to exploit and what players/sides
    you want to stay away from. Offensively: Often times you can put
    a team into a defense you want based on your formationthen
    take advantage of it!
    Design plays to highlight your teams talents but dont give up on
    plays too easily. Challenge your players to improve on those
    plays/skills they might not have mastered yet.
    Create situation lists of plays that your team is comfortable with,
    good at, and takes advantage of the other teams defense.

    Inseason: Practice
    Practice Sessions
    A coach is responsible for preparing his players for the challenges
    of competitioncreating an efficient practice plan goes hand-inhand with this preparation.
    Be efficientKnow what needs to be taught, why it needs to be
    taught, and the context it will be used in. This approach lends itself
    to a modular outlook where concepts are built upon one another
    for an end-sum product of consistent performance in game
    situations. Not only is this an easier way to grasp concepts, but
    also affords players an opportunity to win mini-games, rather
    than being thrown to the wolves and overloaded with multiple
    tasks.

    FUNDAMENTALS

    Inseason: Practice
    Practice Organization

    The most important dynamic involved in practice is how you structure


    it and how efficient your team prepares itself for competition. Develop
    consistency, familiarity, and competitiveness so your players can
    progressively improve. Break up practice into blocks, so there is a
    particular focus to each sessiondont be all over the place with
    focus. The practice blocks should be in 5-10 minute segments. You
    can have longer sessions but break them up into 5-10 minute
    segments (Team Offense 25 Minutes: 5 minutes openers, 10 minutes
    3rd and long, 10 minutes special plays). These teaching blocks like
    chapters in a book, dividing up the big picture into manageable
    segments. You will have a clear picture of what is being taught and
    you can evaluate if all skills are given a practical allotment of time.
    With this kind of routine built in, you will spend less time explaining
    drills or announcing what is expected next the kids will know
    (because of repetition) what each drill is for and when that drill will be
    used.
    Make sure in schedule sessions/blocks that you are PRACTICING
    WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO RUNDont spend 30 minutes on the
    passing game and 10 minutes on the run game when you are a 70-30
    team. Be efficient in planning practice.

    Inseason: Practice
    Practice Scripting
    Beyond just outlining practice, scripting is extremely beneficial. This
    method ensures a number of things:

    That what you plan to run in the game has been run in practice.with multiple reps against
    multiple setsin practice.
    Allows you to make sure you have review opponents formations, favorite plays, defenses, etc.
    That substitutes get their practice time without taking away from starter (If you plan on running
    44 trap 3 times, make sure the backup TB is in on the third rep) (If you plan on running the
    other teams trap 3 times, make sure the backup Ts are in on the third rep.)
    Allows coaches to be on the same page and know exactly what is being run so they can
    watch their position. Also helps coaches assisting with scout team: to get scout defense in
    correct alignment based on offense's next formation or helps get scout offense into correct
    formation and play.
    them in the correct alignment based on the offenses next formation.
    Preparation in situations within a game (red zone, 2pt conversions, 3rd and short, etc) and set
    up a scout look dedicated to what your team will face in that scenario.

    With this attention to detail, you will eliminate much of the insecurity
    and doubt players experience on game day. Emotion and desire can
    only take you so far, but confident preparation can be a catalyst to
    sustaining them.
    The less time you spend making decisions in practice, the faster (and
    smoother) it will run. The higher the tempo of your practice, the more
    stimulated your players will be, leading to a higher participation and
    (information) retention rate.

    Practice Scripting
    Game Situations
    It is important to
    practice situational
    football (special teams,
    short yardage, etc.) for
    the concepts and for
    the substitutions

    Inseason: Game Day Forms

    Game Day Call Sheet

    Have a detailed and organized call sheet will make game days so much
    easier! With all your information at your finger tips, the game will slow down
    (less wasted time with decisions) and you will have more time to effectively
    lead your team. Also, with all the information consolidated to a page, you can
    print multiple copies to fellow coaches (equipping everyone with the same
    information to make decisions from). Now, everyone knows the play being
    called (and can effectively supervise their game day responsibility) as well as
    being able to track substitutions.
    You can further maximize your efficiency with your game calls by categorizing
    your plays by field position and situations. Not only does this allow you a
    clearer play selection (matching scenarios with the highest percentage play),
    but it also allows you to focus your practice sessions accordingly (its 3rd and
    7 inside the 15, we are going to run 44 PWR, and run these situations in
    practice so the players will have a clear definition of their role in this
    scenario).
    For instance, you may have a signature 2-point play or a money 3rd and 8
    play. Rather than pulling these blindly out of the air under the pressure of
    game day, you have a well-thought out plan of attack that you can refer (and
    your assistants) in the course of a game.
    CREATE/MODIFY ONE THAT WORKS FOR YOU!

    Depth Chart Sheets

    Having a detailed and accurate depth chart will allow for coaches to
    make appropriate changes (based on performance, situation, injuries,
    etc.)
    You can use for parents/players:
    Great tool for motivation to allow players to see where they are on
    the team.
    Can be deflating tool for some playersalthough they should use
    for motivation
    Can cause comparisons and other things!
