Installing Today’s Hybrid Pistol Offense Run & Pass from Top to Bottom
This manual provides you with the full offensive line, receiver, and quarterback mechanics for installing each offensive play presented. Coach Campbell has left no stone unturned for implementing today’s Pistol Offense into your program.
I was interested in any kind of research on what are the best ideas concerning conditioning of football players; summer, two-a-days and in season(Mon, Tues, Wed). I am not talking about weight lifting. The only thing I know is what I went thru as a player and I have continued as a coach -sprints, jingle-jangles, gassers, etc. I have just done it because that is what I did as a player. Has anyone talked to someone or read something that deals with the specifics of conditioning especially during the season. I know the average play last about 6 seconds and then they rest for about 40 seconds. I also understand that you want your conditioning to take place during practice being as "position specific" as possible but with few coaches and lots of kids I don't feel they get enough work. Any ideas or someone to point me to? I appreciate any help on this subject.
***Off season - Tempo runs ranging from 800-1600 yards total volume.
***Pre season- Metabolic position specific conditioning (i.e. WRs run routes while DBs cover them) followed by Tempo runs ranging from 400-1000 yards total volume.
***In season- Have players in individual drills run a predetermined amount of yards after completing the drill. (i.e. RB takes handoff/pitch and sprints upfield 20 yards, LB breaks on ball and sprints 15 yards, etc.)
You can also run tempos in season for recovery/conditioning using a lower volume (400-600 yards).
Being at a level of football that has no restrictions on the amount of time you can spend working both on and off the field, we condition year around. Once had an argument with a coach that told me he was not interested in cardiovasacular wellness in the off season. To me, that was and still is, utter nonsense. If you can't run, you can't play this game! We are just starting our 12th week of off season conditioning that consists of muscular and cardiovascular preparation for the upcoming season. We work dots, jump ropes, plyometrics, military pushups (man in front of you places his legs over your shoulders) regular push ups, ladder drills, and always do 100 jumping jacks (first set 50 in number, second and third, 25 each) We then go to the tread mill, stair climber, and bicycle and do 10 minutes on each station without stopping between stations. Finish one station, jump right on the next without hesitation. It is 30 minutes non stop. I am right there to insure no grabb butt taking place between stations. It is work, not play time when we step on the practice field or the off season workouts!

FURTHER THOUGHT: IN OUR 15TH WEEK WE WILL ADD A ONE AND ONE HALF MILE RUN TO THE REGIMEN ON MON-WEDNESDAYS. TUES-THURSDAYS WE RUN 10 100 SPRINTS WITH 30 SECONDS REST IN BETWEEN. BY THE TIME IT IS TIME TO PLAY, WE WILL HAVE REDUCED THIS TIME TO 10 SECONDS BETWEEN SPRINTS.

There is a thread a little ways down from here that describes tempos in pretty good detail. Read that, and if you have any questions, just give me a holla.
