How many Periods Should Pratice be Divided Into

Here is our basic plan...would like your feedback:
4:15 - Individual prep by position
4:20 - Individual Kicking
4:25 - Team Kick (1 per day)
4:40 - Team Option
4:55 - Group Run
5:05 - Team Offense vs. Defense
5:25 - Break
5:30 - Individual
5:40 - Group Pass (skelly / pass pro)
5:55 - Team Defense vs. Offense
6:15 - EOP

* We alternate team periods by day (defense would be first tomorrow). 1 on 1 drills and additional individual drills would be done during athletic periods, although we would work some of that in at times in practice. 2 minute/no huddle is done on Thursday. We split our JV scouts into two groups (1 is good, other is..well, you know)...they provide looks for skelly, group run, team option and any specific team periods we have (i.e. play action; screens, etc). Team periods are always 1's vs. 1's. Don't particularly like having team period in middle of practice....would like your input, coach c. thanks

pdow27 - give me some insight into your breakdown of your pass pro period as skelly is being conducted. Coach CAmpbell

pdow27 - Which period to work one on one run vs the defensive line, etc. Coach CAmpbell

Coach we two platoon our practices because of the numbers we have out. our team periods are scripted and a defense given to each play so that our coaches will always know the type of defense coming and the defenses that should be practiced during their individual periods. We try and run 2 1/2 plays per minute with two squads rotating, both the 1st and 2nd off. I run the defenses because I can get them set fast and gives me to see the eyes of the QB and offensive line. Coach CAmpbell

Coach CAmpbell, we use a segmented timer to divide our practices into (20) 4 minute periods and (10) 5 minute periods. We begin practice with an untimed special teams period where we cover 2 phases of the special teams. We then go into this routine:
4 periods - Defensive individual
3 periods - Inside Hull front seven Vs. Scout O(DB's 1 on 1 w/SE's)
3 periods - Outside Hull DB/LB vs. scout O. (OL/DL 1 on 1 pass rush)
5 minute break (40 min of individual defense)
4 periods - Offensive individual
3 periods - Group work vs dummy d.
3 periods - dummy team (play perfection)
big break 15 minutes (40 min of indivdual offense)
4 periods - team defense (20 min)
1 period - team goalline defense (5 min)
4 periods - team offense (20 min)
1 period - team goalline offense (5 min)
The OL and DL players are one way only practice with their coach the entire practice. This is the Monday and Tuesday routine. It takes about 2 hrs. 45 minutes.( Varsity staff of 6; JV, 4; Fresh, 4)
