Defensive Goals

We used these for our base defensive game goals. We face mostly running teams, but when we play a passing team we will up change them around a little, maybe to hold them to <50 yds passing, to hold a stud receiver to no catches, etc.
Last year we faced one of the leading receivers in the state and I thought our guys might be a little intimidated in the weeks leading up to the game. I set some very high goals vs the pass and I think it motivated the guys and gave them confidence that I thought those were realistic goals. I am very glad we started posting and keeping track of game goals in all three phases.

Defense
1. Hold oponent to less than 100 yards rushing.
2. Allow the opponent no plays longer than 15 yards.
3. Two sacks.
4. Eleven players flying to the ball on every play!
5. Force 2 turnovers.
6. No blown assignments.

A very successful local team has just one goal for their entire squad:

"One or None"

One TD or none allowed for a game. They feel it involves every phase of the game. The offense can't turn it over, special teams must cover well, etc...

My main goal of any game is to have my athletes prepared, on both sides of the ball, as well as, on special forces in such a way as to be superior to our opponents by being better prepared both PHYSICALLY AND MENTALITY to execute our game plan.
