Practice Schedule & Scripts

Coach one of the most important elements to your success will be how you schedule, script and manage practice. Practice time is the most valuable item you have. It is a must that you schedule and scripting your practices so that you get productivity out of every single minute. I can't tell you how many times I have watch some other coaching staff waste valuable practice time with players just standing around doing nothing to get better. Scheduling and scripting practice is most to have success at the highest levels.

Youth Example (3 Day Practice Schedule)

Day 
Practice Focus
Day 1
  • Offensive Focus
Day 2
  • Hitting and Defensive Focus 
  • Physical Hitting & Tackling Drills (i.e. Oklahoma)
  • Defensive Game Plan Install for this Week’s Opponent
Day 3
  • “Specialties” and Game Planning Focus
  • Work Special Teams & Other Special Situations
  • Finalize the Installation of the Defensive & Offensive Game Plans
  • Starting Units Get the Majority of the Work on This Final Day of Practice

Youth Practice Schedule and Scripts

These schedules below are meant to help youth coaches get started. It is our suggested practice schedule, script and installation order starting day 1 of the season. Obviously these examples will have to be adjusted to fit your practice times. What and when you install certain schemes will be based specifically on your team, your talent, your opponents, and what you feel you need to win in your league. ​Download by clicking the link below and then go to your download folder to open in excel.
