split practice

we are in the same boat. I have spent most of my coaching life at small schools. We practice both sides of the ball each day and place and emphasis on one side. For example, Monday we'll come in and lift weights and condition, then we'll go out and practice offense Individual time as well as run and pass hulls vs the opponents defense. We always come together and run team Offense as well while incoporating punt team and extra point into team time. That usually takes an hour and a half to run through all phases. We follow that up with a short defensive practice. Aligning to sets, getting automatics, identify personnell, etc.

Tuesday, we come in and focus on defense using a similar format but leaving more time at the end for offense.

Wednesday, we divide time relatively even unless we feel like we need more emphasis on one side.

We run it pretty much the same as Coach dooright. I don't like one day as O and one day as D either just because the guys need to be able to remember what they are doing. At least with them seeing it (even if it is for less time) everyday they have a better chance of retaining all the information as we get to gameday.
