Practice Schedule for two way players?

Coach there are several ways to approach this with offense one day and defense the next. My opinon would be to divide practice into offense and defensive sections each day. making my schemes on both sides of the ball simple but at the same time causing my opponents problems with their preparation for our team. Keep each segment highly organized which always alot of repetition for success. For me learning comes from doing so the more reps I can get in the better. I try and run 2 1/2 plays per minute , all coaching goes by the 25 second clock each coach must coach between the play ending and the time it takes to get back to the huddle, this is called coaching on the run, be organized.

Coaches,

During our Spring program (5 days a week for 3 weeks) we divide each session into 4 segments. They do not get equal time, but they are equally important to our kids and our program.

20% stretching and conditioning (10% before and 10% after)
20% special teams
30% defense
30% offense

This allows us the maximum utilization of our time and allows for returners and candidates to both get a fair shake.

During the Summer workouts (3 days a week majority of summer - as allowed by CIF) we divide each session into 4 segments also. But, it is portioned different.

Tuesday
10% stretch
20% special teams
50% defense
10% offense
10% conditioning

Wednesday
10% stretch
20% special teams
30% defense
30% offense
10% conditioning

Thursday
10% stretch
20% special teams
10% defense
50% offense
10 % conditioning

This allows us to equally input and adjust each side of the ball, but with emphasis. The kids respond well, and it seems to be more productive. We have about 5 of 11 two-way players on a squad of 35 (JV). I'm sure there are other ways of doing it, and probably even more efficiently, but this works for us.

Just my two cents.
