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.
Every football coach will tell you how important getting into the weight room is in the off season. However, is agility and conditioning work equally important? Are agilities more important? How do you guys handle offseason in terms of lifting and agility work?
We do both 3 days a week. We stretch and do agilties together. Then we break up into two groups- Backs and LIne. While the line is lifting the backs are doing speed, agility, and change of direction work. Then we switch. We take turns on who lifts first and who runs first. Each takes about 30-35 minutes each.
Troy we do something similar except we add a study hall period . First the Varsity players lift and the JV are in Study Hall with a coach or two to make sure they are doing their HW or studying. They can use this time to go to after-school tutoring (but they must bring a written note from that teacher), then they lift. If a varsity player needs to attend an after-school tutoring session then that player can lift with the Jr. Varsity. After that, all the linemen go in one group and the backs & receivers in another for about a 30 minute agility period.
So you have around 2 x 45 miunute sessions + 1 x 30 minute agility period. All in all it goes from around 3pm to 5pm.
I think that SAQ work in the offseason is pretty overrated. We typically concentrate on weights only from November to May and don't start SAQ training until the summer. By the time we start our preseason summer program, the kids have spent five months laying a solid foundation on which to build SAQ ability.
We save the speed training for the spring into the summer months because we want our athletes peaking at the point of the season. By doing speed training earlier you will have your athletes peaking too soon. We got this philosophy from the Parisi speed school.
Hope this helps

We dont lose any games we just run out of time.

Yep. Parisi is a great resource. I have read many articles by Martin Rooney where he has said the same thing.
Sorry Guys I kind of disagree here.
I was a former sprinter in college till I blew my knee out running track.... who'd of Thunk it; blowing your knee out in Track and not Football!
But going back to my track days I try to use the speed work we did then, combined with modern stuff, both track and football related now. I look at the speed trainning the same as weight training in terms of building up.
But yes I agree that the goal is to try to get them to PEAK when the season begins.
