Practice Schedule Ideas

when u do drills, turn them into competitions. example: red zone team period; if offense scores in 3 downs the defense does some sort of conditioning, and if defense holds, offense does some sort of conditioning. You could also do like winners of the period, if defense gave offense the business then they run, say 2 less sprints after practice or after the period. any time you introduce competition in practice it makes it more exciting. something else that i like to do with my group (i'm a middle school coach), is if the offense scores the defensive coordinator does 5 up downs and if the defense holds the offensive coordinator does 5 up downs, or does up downs with the players. they really get amped up when they see that the coach has to do up downs!
