Q1: How do you organize players on the sideline? Does Offense split field w/ Defense? Is there a "Free" zone? Get back coach? #GAHSFBCHAT

coach_everett7 Jun 28 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Nick Everett Goose Creek High School Goose Creek, SC OL/TE #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:09 PM EDT

No one is allowed from 45 to 45.. special teams are called up in this area #GAHSFBCHAT

gjohnson8620 Jun 28 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: Each side has separate sides of the field while the other is on the field. There is a get-back coach to keep kids back #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:10 PM EDT

which ever unit is on the field, that group will follow the ball. The other unit will be on the opposite end of the sideline #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBennett32 Jun 28 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: Our number 1 priority is keeping them back, and I think we've got a couple of "get back coaches" haha #GAHSFBCHAT

coach_remer Jun 28 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: we have 3 coaches 7-12. Not really enough for a token "get back coach". No players past the 25 yd line/coaches box #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBennett32 Jun 28 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: as far as OL goes, if I tell you to stay with me, you'll walk with me, and we all meet on the "Mule Bench" after drives #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Great to see so many great coaches in attendance tonight. Be sure to share that knowledge. #GAHSFBCHAT

InspireACG Jun 28 @ 8:12 PM EDT

This works...#GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/ImaX9sQXKu

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:10 PM EDT

which ever unit is on the field, that group will follow the ball. The other unit will be on the opposite end of the sideline #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJTW Jun 28 @ 8:14 PM EDT

#GAHSFBCHAT. Side that is on the field is near the ball. Other side goes opposite. From 45 to 45 special team zone

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Q2: How do you handle special teams duties on the sideline? Is one coach responsible? #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:15 PM EDT

We're off to a great start coaches...Q2 is 2 minutes away. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJTW Jun 28 @ 8:16 PM EDT

#GAHSFBCHAT one coach is responsible for getting them ready and accounted for. May be another coach in charge of that team

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Offensive coaches have punt return and KO return, Defense has punt team & kickoff #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBennett32 Jun 28 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: We have a special teams coordinator and other coaches have designations for certain parts of special teams #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@CoachBennett32 what are their specific duties? #GAHSFBCHAT

coach_remer Jun 28 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: we all make sure that the kids are aware of the situation. 3rd&long? Punt team needs to be ready. Most of them are on O #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachLashSr Jun 28 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@andrewsDBU u have a specific place for the "launch pad"? #GAHSFBCHAT

gjohnson8620 Jun 28 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2: The coach on the field makes sure that everyone is ready to go while the coach in the box accounts for everyone. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBennett32 Jun 28 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@_CoachTSmith tweeted back at you, but couldn't fit #GAHSFBCHAT haha

coach_everett7 Jun 28 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Responsibilities divided among the coaches--each responsible for helping with at least one #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/jxSAGktwEX

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Q2: How do you handle special teams duties on the sideline? Is one coach responsible? #GAHSFBCHAT

@jwfaure welcome coach! #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Great info being shared as usual coaches....Q3 on the way in 2 minutes. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBennett32 Jun 28 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@coach_everett7 @_CoachTSmith most of the time, we OL coaches find our way to extra point/field goal haha #gahsfbchat

jwfaure Jun 28 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2 we have a ST Coord, he is responsible for making sure 11 guys are on the field for a particular ST play on gameday #gahsfbchat

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Q3: Do you have a system for checking special teams personnel? Ex: Players count or use a ST strip with positions numbered, etc. #GAHSFBCHAT

canfbchat Jun 28 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Matthew Sentes OL/DL/OC Lethbridge Steel #gahsfbchat

CoachJohnson50 Jun 28 @ 8:26 PM EDT

artink67 Jun 28 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Ahmand Tinker, AP East Coweta HS, I'm at the model school conference in Orlando, FL learning how to effectively run schools #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3: would like to adopt system we used in college where players counted off. Each position had a specific number #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@artink67 I wanna be like you when I grow up! Traveling on the school's dime. lol #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBennett32 Jun 28 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3: I'm not sure how we are doing that yet. In the past we just had a coach count #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 28 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@artink67 #GAHSFBCHAT It's hard in these streets so be careful what you ask for @_CoachTSmith

CoachBlacha Jun 28 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Phillip Blacha, OL, Brookland-Cayce High #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/aWJ66y2ppK

gjohnson8620 Jun 28 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3: We have cones lined up in our designated area for each player to report to. We make sure to go over this on Thursdays #GAHSFBCHAT

coach_everett7 Jun 28 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Have done both. I prefer a ST strip plus a coach with a personnel chart. #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/AE0jg2h2Ut

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Q3: Do you have a system for checking special teams personnel? Ex: Players count or use a ST strip with positions numbered, etc. #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 28 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3 Build sideline boxes on both 45 and 25 to count players #GAHSFBCHAT

jwfaure Jun 28 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3 STC or myself will count em up, or the kicker/punter will count them up #gahsfbchat

canfbchat Jun 28 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3) ST coordinater just counts them up. #gahsfbchat

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@coach_everett7 i'm about to look up a price for a strip right now #GAHSFBCHAT

InspireACG Jun 28 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@_CoachTSmith what about this? #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/hmGRknVBkg

gjohnson8620 Jun 28 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3: We have cones lined up in our designated area for each player to report to. We make sure to go over this on Thursdays #GAHSFBCHAT

Coach_THoff Jun 28 @ 8:30 PM EDT

Late to the party.Troy Hoff-Eastside HS HC A3: Open space at midfield separated by cones - personnel not on field #GAHSFBCHAT

Coach_THoff Jun 28 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@Coach_THoff coach on field in charge cks depth chart #GAHSFBCHAT

coach_remer Jun 28 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3: we know how many should come off/go on.If numbers don't match up, we either have 2 many @ the party or someone didn't go in #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@CoachLashSr @coach_everett7 trying to find one to share now #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Keep it up coaches! Q4 is only 2 minutes away. #GAHSFBCHAT

CodyCaseNoSpace Jun 28 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Cody Case, D-Line Coach, East Hall High School, Gainesville, GA. #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/KANRvhS5jW

CodyCaseNoSpace Jun 28 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A3: I have a Special Teams depth chart on field and count-off/make subs as needed. #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Q4: What system do you use to debrief w/ players when they leave the field? Who talks? Ex: Positions sit in specific areas... #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:36 PM EDT

special teams strip #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/roTDoiBsTL

CoachBlacha Jun 28 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A3: players count off just like elementary school. Each has a number if 9 is missing they better find him #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:37 PM EDT

#GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/WWupsU7L5d

CoachJohnson50 Jun 28 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A4: I imagine this one is about to get real since we just got @Hudl sideline. OL always sits, watches and talks. #GAHSFBCHAT

coach_remer Jun 28 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A4: We usually dont have the luxury of 1 way players. We have to use halftime as our debrief time. #smallschoolfootball #GAHSFBCHAT

jwfaure Jun 28 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A4 coord speaks to entire side of ball quickly as a debrief/plan of attack for next series. then positions break off and talk #gahsfbchat

CoachBlacha Jun 28 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A4: OL has a spot. Start with Center then right side then left side. You only talk when you have the pen to draw where they are #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBennett32 Jun 28 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A4: OL meets on the same bench after drives, they come off the field, get quick sip, sit down, I talk/scream then ask them ?'s #GAHSFBCHAT

gjohnson8620 Jun 28 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A4: Players sit in chairs/bench area. Debriefed by coordinator, then by position coaches on that side of the ball. #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A4: Oline sits in one area with their coach - Skill players sit with their coach . All wait 4 coordinator to give instructions #GAHSFBCHAT

CodyCaseNoSpace Jun 28 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A4: We mostly are able to avoid all two way players. Each position gets together on bench and listens to position coach. #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A4: Kids don't move until they are released. Even if we don't have anything to go over. #GAHSFBCHAT

coach_everett7 Jun 28 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A:4 Each position has a designated area where coaches talk to them. #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:43 PM EDT

We're coming down the home stretch fellas.....Let's finish strong. Q5 is only 2 minutes away. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBennett32 Jun 28 @ 8:43 PM EDT

This guy gets it 👍🏻 #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/gYXfz8HD2T

CoachBlacha Jun 28 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A4: OL has a spot. Start with Center then right side then left side. You only talk when you have the pen to draw where they are #GAHSFBCHAT

CodyCaseNoSpace Jun 28 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A3 cont: Our coordinators are in the box, but we communicate as a round table, so no sitting around waiting on one person. #GAHSFBCHAT

Coach_THoff Jun 28 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4: by position, then groups as needed. OL always together on bench with coach. Skills together if not on def #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBennett32 Jun 28 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A4: I'm on headsets with OC, and he's on the field, so if he has anything for OL, he can tell me without having to leave QB's #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Q5: What sideline replay system are you using? Can you notice the difference? What is the process? # of TV's & Tablets? #GAHSFBCHAT

Coach_THoff Jun 28 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@Coach_THoff our key is efficient communication with 2-way players - mainly wr/db #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBennett32 Jun 28 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5: we use Echo, and I've never used it, so I'll be learning how to work it some before the season. I like what I've heard on it #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Leaning towards Echo....I will be setting up a demo real soon in Douglasville soon for coaches who are interested like myself. #GAHSFBCHAT

CodyCaseNoSpace Jun 28 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A5: Don't have the luxury of tv's, so we have an injured player or trusted freshman to film behind on iPads. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJohnson50 Jun 28 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A5: Hudl Sideline has arrived. I think we have two cameras and 3 ipads. First world problems. Will report after this season. #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@CodyCaseNoSpace we've used that system as well #GAHSFBCHAT

Coach_THoff Jun 28 @ 8:49 PM EDT

Going with HUDL sideline this year. Any feedback? #GAHSFBCHAT

gjohnson8620 Jun 28 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5: Unfortunately have not used one previously...hopefully we will have a system in place for the fall. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBlacha Jun 28 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5: we have Echo. Didn't use it to its full potential changing that up this year. Def need a larger TV and multiple iPads. #GAHSFBCHAT

coach_remer Jun 28 @ 8:50 PM EDT

a5:We use cutting edge technology called "me scribbling on a whiteboard and making child like drawings" #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/5bBX1EJPPH

43coach Jun 28 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5: iPads- 1O, 1D with ECHO. In smaller stadiums just record with the iPads. Coaches study and show players to correct/adjust. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBlacha Jun 28 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@coach_remer #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/gO4IvVQ3W1

CoachBennett32 Jun 28 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Been there brother #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/tiKNF7mJhv

coach_remer Jun 28 @ 8:50 PM EDT

a5:We use cutting edge technology called "me scribbling on a whiteboard and making child like drawings" #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/5bBX1EJPPH

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Final question in 2 minutes! #GAHSFBCHAT

Coach_THoff Jun 28 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A5: we will use iPads on field instead of TV. Mobility - easier for us to get to the players, especially 2-way guys #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@Coach_THoff that makes a lot of sense! #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:55 PM EDT

Q6: How do you organize players during timeouts? Do all positions meet together? #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBlacha Jun 28 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A6: individual then collectively. #GAHSFBCHAT

coach_remer Jun 28 @ 8:57 PM EDT

a6: I try to talk to my guys while they are getting water. Then the HC talks and everyone listens #GAHSFBCHAT

CodyCaseNoSpace Jun 28 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A6: Everybody on field and key subs get together as a group, but guys sort themselves by position to listen to their own coach. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBennett32 Jun 28 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A6: if we call a timeout on offense, we'll meet on the OC, he'll talk, and then I'll give OL any notes before we roll out #GAHSFBCHAT

gjohnson8620 Jun 28 @ 8:58 PM EDT

In the past, it's been whole group, may change this season with new staff though #GAHSFBCHAT

coach_everett7 Jun 28 @ 8:58 PM EDT

Yes. All meet with coaches together. #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/1DEMDHVBZF

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 8:55 PM EDT

Q6: How do you organize players during timeouts? Do all positions meet together? #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJTW Jun 28 @ 8:59 PM EDT

#GAHSFBCHAT we always have specific areas for timeouts. Example on defense. Db's closest to the scoreboard, LB's in the middle, D Line away

_CoachTSmith Jun 28 @ 9:00 PM EDT

Great job tonight coaches! Huge shot out to each of you who continue to make #GAHSFBCHAT successful!

CoachBlacha Jun 28 @ 9:00 PM EDT
