Our typical practice is 2 hours in length.
After a 15 minute active warmup period (we do not do any static stretching before practice) we will normally break up into offensive or defensive position groups (depending on which side of the ball we're focusing on that day) for 1, 2 or even 3 (early in the season) 15 minute periods of individual work/drills.
That is usually followed by a group period (inside drill, 7-on-7, etc.) and then onto 1-2 periods (30 minutes to an hour) of Team O/D. We stop for a 5 minute water break every half hour.
Conditioning follows for 10 minutes ending with a circle up and talk for 5-10 minutes.
We have six coaches including myself and divide up into OL/DL, QB-RB/LB and WR/DB position groups. This format has worked pretty well for us the past couple of years.
I look forward to hearing how the other youth and middle school coaches on the board organize your practices. Thanks!
