Gentlemen,
I have a few general questions regarding off-season workouts. We use BFS across the board, so my question is not so much on weight training, but more on agilities and position-specific drills that can be done when the kids are done in the weight room. Areas that we will need a lot of work in:
1. Quarterback: We started a sophomore QB this season who did a very nice job, but still needs a good deal of work. We run a West-Coast derivitive with 2 RB and 1 TE. We focus strongly on the 3 step game and playaction, usually with 1 single read. In the 3-step game it is a pre-snap read. In the playaction and 5 step, it is reading as he drops. He needs agility and arm strength as well.
2. Wide Receivers: We graduate both starters, but return one fairly talented kid. He definitely needs to get bigger, but weight room will take care of that. We really need to develop a second WR, or we will be forced to go double TE next season (not that I have a problem with that). The projected guy puts forth great effort, but is just not smooth or seasoned.
3. Center: Our Guards and Tackles should be fine, but we are completely starting from scratch at center. Currently we have 6 candidates in mind, and "if you have 6 centers, you have no centers"!!
4. Linebackers: Both our starters are graduating. We return one reliable guy who saw considerable time in the back-up role as a sophomore. We are a pure guard-read philosophy, and we attack downhill while underkeying the backfield. They need to improve their foot quickness tremendously.
5. Secondary: We lose all 4 of our starters in the defensive backfield. This is probably the area we will be weakest in. We need good fundamental drills that will improve our hip flexibility, foot quickness, and overall athleticisim.
ALSO: If anyone has any good jump rope training material, I'd be interested in hearing about it. We want to get each kid on the ropes before they are allowed to lift. However, I have no idea how to teach a kid to properly train on the jumpropes.
As always, you help is very much appreciated!
