What we do • Make practice fun • Make all drill relevant to the game • Make drills competitive • Do you have a winner and loser in the drill? • Not real for ALL drills…
What we do • Film as many parts of practice as possible • Kids love to see themselves on film • Start practice with meeting time and walkthrough • Short lines and short time periods
What we do • Teach skills more than schemes • Teach it right the first time • All conditioning done within the course of practice
What we don’t do • Practice for more than 120 minutes • Condition at the end or start of practice • Yell just to yell…we teach
