*NEW RESEARCH best to condition at start of practice - start & finish! (mentally & physically) START START Stretch Concept Teaching & Tactical Skill Development Concept Teaching & Tactical Skill Development (10 mins) Stretch- -Screen Screen- -Score Score (2 Point Play) (2 Point Play) (10 mins) #3 - SCORE (2 Point Play) After each Screen & Score Offense then installs or works BEST 2 point plays *work 1-2-3 of 2 pt plays #2 - SCREEN (5 min) Install or work 1-2-3 SPO- RPO from 5 yard line vs Defense OR vs Coaches *if platoon system then Defense runs pursuit and ball strip drill (same cycle) DEF-PERSONNEL Team Defense vs Off - OR *if platoon system = Team Defense does pursuit & ball strip OFF-PERSONNEL Team Offense Only - OR - Off vs Def Coaches (All or none if Off vs Def) #1 - STRETCH (5 Min) Use Active Stretch Routine with TEAM for 5 Mins first then 5 Mins of Screen & Score keeping teams running on constant cycle *KEEP SCORE WIN! *Coaches = MUST be active (move) and tell what defender you are for QB Reads (mix up to make players react) QB Coach-OC *signals play to next group Each Group sprints through and around end line back to 15 yd line after 2 pt play DB Coach H&B Coach DL Coach LB Coach Rec Coach OL Coach # s # s Z X 5 yd line A H Next Group Bunches behind 15 yd line B Q 15 yd line GOALS ball never touches the ground (Ball Security) - NEVER throw ball back! Establish Up-Tempo for practice by working game speed @ start. *Concept teaching (Big Pic) of Tactical skills (decision making) & critical plays *Goal is to see how many times each group can score TD + convert 2 Point play ROTATE Offensive Teams 1-2-3 rotating every screen & score (2 pt) through goal line (ALL around back end zone corner) keeping constant run cycle NOTES This is a conditioning drill both physically and mentally (Good Start) STEP 1 each offensive group runs a play (SPO or RPO) from 5 yd line (point for score or stop) STEP 2 score or stop same group runs 2 pt play *after 2 point play both O&D sprint through and around end line back to 15 yard line (bunch for play) ROTATE either work O vs D OR O only vs coaches NOTES work versus fronts and blitzes you will see

Blockers can stop once ball carrier is past them. Return to LOS using opposite hand (Ball Security) - NEVER throw ball back! ROTATE Qbs take 4 reps and rotate clockwise. Bbacks rotate every rep. Xrecs rotate from Receiver to Defense. Arecs & Hbacks rotate offense only . Zrecs rotate from Receiver to Defense *ALL trade aftet 2 mins NOTES finish with South (single or double) with Coach as Pass Rusher GOALS take correct 1st steps toward and execute schemes using correct technique & Timing for both FAST & SLOW SPO s ROTATE 3 reps each way and rotate Defense to Offense = 12 plays total in 5 min period NOTES work versus fronts and blitzes you will see
