Phase 1 – We like to give our players and coaches a break from the demanding football season once it concludes. Once we are finished playing, the players and coaches will have time off (besides the banquet) until first school day in January, when everyone comes back from winter break. During this time, we will begin our baseline testing and introduce the freshman class to the Varsity weight lifting program. The players will begin lifting 4 days a week. In mid-March, we hold our mandatory spring football registration in the cafeteria during lunch. This is for everyone who wants to be a part of the football team the next season.

Phase 2 – Our first Varsity coaches meeting will be held mid-April at a time that is suitable for all coaches to attend. These meetings will go on every week until spring ball starts. This is also around the same time that youth lifting begins. Flyers are passed out to the local middle schools and youth sport programs, giving them the opportunity to come and learn how to lift weights. Our first spring practice will be held the first week of May on a Thursday and will be Monday-Friday, with some Saturdays, until the second week of June. Mandatory parent meetings will be held during the first week of spring ball practices, to go over expectations of parents and players. During spring, we compete in several 7-on-7 scrimmages and tournaments and also host a Lineman Challenge.

Phase 3 – We will have our freshman parent meeting the first week after spring ball concludes, typically a week after school is over. Our program gets a break from the second to last day of school until mid-July. Summer practices will include lifting 4 days a week and on the field for 2 hours. During summer we like to schedule a lot of passing league tournaments and welcome other programs to come to our stadium to scrimmage. At the end of July, we host an “Under the Lights” youth football camp and will also start to go over special teams with the team. Early August we host the annual golf tournament.

Phase 4 – The second week of August we have our annual Camp Vanguard, where all the players and coaches stay on campus for 4 days and 3 nights. This is the time when we begin full pads and grow a strong bond with all of our players. This event rolls into our fall practices and eventually leads up to our first game. We will be in our season routine until early November or later, depending on playoffs.

Note:

Monthly booster club meetings are held the first Tuesday of every month, year-round. During these meetings we discuss fundraising opportunities and focus on one of our biggest fundraisers, which is our annual golf tournament.

Phase 1: January through May

Heavy emphasis on getting physically better. This is where all of the heavy weight training and conditioning takes place. We have a limit-strength phase, a hypertrophy phase, and an explosive power phase. Within each phase we also incorporate speed, agility, conditioning, and plyometric modalities to round out the athlete.

This is the time that we focus on opportunities to bond as a team away from football. Community service is a major part of our program and most of our site visits take place during the off-season.

Coaches begin organizing personnel for the upcoming season and monitor progress in strength and conditioning, the classroom, and with interpersonal relationships. Coaches are available for support with anything the student-athlete needs.

Leadership Academy

Phase 2: June through July

We have a two week dead period in July. This is a time for the players to spend time with their family, travel, and take care of their bodies after a grueling season and intense off-season training. When the athletes return, we run a 7’s league and begin to prepare for the preseason training protocol.

Coaches each take a team on schedule and start to create rough installs based on the year’s performances.

Parent meeting agenda, philosophy, and reflection on communication style from previous season (What worked? What could we do better?).

Phase 3: August and September

Training Camp begins: Off-site location where the boys spend a week together bonding and battling through tough two-a-days to reset their minds, refocus, and recommit to each other and the program.

Return from camp:

Training is ramped up with a lot of functional conditioning and game-speed activities.

Each morning and each evening the boys practice a mindfulness exercise to keep life in perspective and prioritize taking care of themselves (Total Care).

Practices are crisp and focused as the primary goal is to get the boys prepared for the opening game, which we call our ‘tone-setter’ for the season.

Phase 4: September through December

September through December

In-season our strength and conditioning program focuses on explosive training, injury mitigation, and agility + conditioning modalities. These workouts are performed in the mornings for a couple of reasons:

a) Evidence suggests that physical activity before the classroom gets people more focused for the academic rigors of the day.

b) It gives the athletes a sense of being ‘special’ as they get up and get to school before any other student on campus to put in the work it takes to get better!teams installs. Daily practice and preparation for the week’s opponent.September through December

Practices start at 3:15 and end at approximately 5:45. This includes film study, drill work, offensive installs, defensive installs, and special teams installs. Daily practice and preparation for the week’s opponent.

For the leadership academy and weekly in-season themes of the week, I will follow Jon Gordon's teachings from the book "The Hard Hat" when he describes 21 ways to be a great teammate. We will also read the book "Training Camp" by Jon Gordon and instill the 11 traits of the best of the best. I will post my mission statement, vision statement, and core values in our locker room pre-season (August). During the in-season phase, my base offensive is to run option out of a pistol or wishbone under center look. We will run veer to set up our entire offensive scheme. Our defensive package will be a 4-3 defense. We will be very diverse in our approach for the kicking game. Expectations of coaches include loyalty to the program, organizational skills, time management skills, and positive attitude. We want to represent our team and community in a positive way. Off-season and summer programs will focus on strength training, conditioning, and leadership. We also encourage all athletes to be multi-sport athletes as we believe this is vital for their success as a total athlete. 7 on 7 and team camps will be a great opportunity to evaluate and create depth at all positions in the summer months. It is also very important to set new goals, give post-season evaluations of players and coaches, and assign huddle groups to encourage off-season strength training.

We will be a positive demanding coaching staff. We will create a positive environment by having positive attitudes day in and day out. We will have a pre-season, post-season, off-season, and in-season. We will be organized and move in the proper direction by having honest and open communication.

Our mission statement, vision statement, and code of conduct will be part of their application packet that they have to fill out. They will also be posted in the locker room and weight room.

Assistant coaches are expected to be loyal. They are expected to be teachers before they are coaches. They need to do their job. They need to be on time and ready to go. They are positive in all that they do. They expect the best from their players.

We will have a booster club that will help with fundraisers and other duties within the program. Their job is to support the coaches and players in all that they do. Parents that are not part of the booster club are expected to be supportive and positive. They are expected to give their child to the team and the coach for that amount of time they use every day.

Offensively we will be a run first team. We will hang our hat on power o. This will set up our play action game that will be our way of taking a shot deep. We will have a 3 step, roll out, and screen game to complement our run game. Our run game will also include sweep, counter, and zone.

Our leadership academy starts in December and goes until the end of the season. We will meet twice a week during the off season and once a week during the season. Teaches them how to be role models on and off the field. This is usually the difference between winning and losing.

Defensively we will be a 4/3 with a cover 4 read scheme. We will heavy blitz oriented. We want to attack, attack, and attack again. We will be great tacklers and block defeat. We will be physical. We will be the hammer not the nail. We will take away what they do best and make us beat us with their secondary plays.

Special teams will have the ability to be multiple. We will be able to kick to any spot or player on the field. Our return game will be able to attack the opponents weaknesses. We will be able to block a kick from anywhere on the line of scrimmage.

Our in-season schedule will consist of offense/KO/KOR on Mon. Defense/Punt/Punt return will be on Tues. Offense/Defense/PAT/PAT block will be on Wed. Thur will be walk thru's. Friday is game day. Saturday we will watch film with the players. Sunday we will get the game plan organized.

Off season will focus on strength/speed/explosion/quickness/and agility training. We won't start football until spring ball. Off season is where we get bigger, faster, and stronger. We will be in competitive teams that will compete every week.

Summer will consist of strength and speed training. Football oriented drills and plays. We will also participate in 7 on 7 and linemen competitions and 1 on 1 work with other teams. We are trying to do everything during this time of the off season.

As a new coach, I would definitely have my parent meeting as early as possible. I would plan on having this meeting after a practice, since parents would have to be there to get their students anyways. However, our AD usually wants to be present at these so the planning would also have to be centered around their scheduled.

My schedule would go as follows (if up to me alone):

a. Welcome and Intro-Introduce myself and give an extremely brief background.

b. Explain my philosophy and values which is (in short): Represent this program, this community, and your family to the highest standard.

c. Discuss the importance of what we are trying to accomplish (create great young men for our town)-give out practice schedules and game schedules-give out contact info

d. Discuss the role of parents-ask for help-express my rules: Don't come talk to me after a game, need to talk: schedule an appointment, but we will not discuss calls, other players, or playing time.

e. Wrap up-express how excited I am to get this season going.
