A1: I know for us, we did more lifting/conditioning over the summer. Really only went out for drills for an hour a week. #swarmfbchat

CoachDobbinsSE Jul 25 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: During the early part of the summer, we did about 50/50, not including Whiteboard time. Now we can't do any 🏈 activities #swarmfbchat

CoachGiancola Jul 25 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: Spring ball. At HS level we did 2 team camps. Lift all off season. Encouraged multisport athletes. Makes better players #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jul 25 @ 9:11 PM EDT

I like what our coach had planned - kept us in good shape and fresh for the season. #swarmfbchat

CoachGiancola Jul 25 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1 pt 2: @GoArmyEdge also allows players access to play books and installs for review all off season. Huge to keep base fresh #swarmfbchat

CoachDobbinsSE Jul 25 @ 9:15 PM EDT

It would be great to have guys from #hogfbchat come and join us on the dark side for a bit #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jul 25 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Q2: If you can't/don't platoon, how much time during the week is given to each side/special teams? Do you find D ahead of O? #swarmfbchat

CoachGiancola Jul 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Also did interval training during the summer, and had @trueap come in during 2 a days for afternoon sessions twice a week #swarmfbchat

CoachSpera Jul 25 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Aw: We do not platoon so hard for me to say! When it comes to special teams we devote at least 15 mins every practice! #swarmfbchat

CoachDobbinsSE Jul 25 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: I plan too but if not special teams meets every day 10min then we would probably spend M-W Offense then T-TH on Defense #swarmfbchat

Coach_JRogers Jul 25 @ 9:21 PM EDT

When I was in MI 1 day was an O day & 1 day D. Not your day would still get 1/2 hour. Did some spt everyday & lot on Mon. #swarmfbchat

CoachGiancola Jul 25 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2: O & D sep, minus practice starter/team periods. 1 ST a day in Aug, 2 ten min per Mon-Wed after. Walk thru all day b4 game #swarmfbchat

LCGrizzlyFB Jul 25 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2) We platoon with 60 kids out. Spend 15 min a day on special teams, O/D get equal reps of course. #swarmfbchat

LCGrizzlyFB Jul 25 @ 9:24 PM EDT

We do come together for 1 on 1's and team time. #swarmfbchat

CoachDobbinsSE Jul 25 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Q3: Having worked on my 3-4 Swarm online content; What is your playbook method? Online/Paper/Live Reps/Combination? #swarmfbchat

CoachGiancola Jul 25 @ 9:28 PM EDT

I was ST coor in 2015. Tried to work ST in as much as possible. Snuck in work any chance I had. Specialists out 15min early too #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jul 25 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3: I use @JustPlaySS for an online playbook. They are helping me market/monetize my knowledge while sharing it with others. #swarmfbchat

CoachDobbinsSE Jul 25 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3: a little bit of everything, Hudl, and live reps. You have to hit all learning styles.... by the 3-4 is kind of my thing lol #swarmfbchat

Q3: Having worked on my 3-4 Swarm online content; What is your playbook method? Online/Paper/Live Reps/Combination? #swarmfbchat

LCGrizzlyFB Jul 25 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3) Use playmaker pro for playbook just for coaches. Reps for kids. #swarmfbchat

Coach_JRogers Jul 25 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3) Have online playbook, paper copy for coaches and also create technique playbook shared with coaches and players. #swarmfbchat

CoachGiancola Jul 25 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3: Playbooks on @GoArmyEdge. Hard copies given after meetings if players complete pre meeting quiz on Google Forms #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jul 25 @ 9:29 PM EDT

It comes in a mobile app for staff/players; includes diagrams/videos/quizzes. Engages all learners. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @JustPlaySS

honeycutt_cody Jul 25 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Combination of paper and live reps. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @rmacblue

CoachSpera Jul 25 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3: I have done a mix of online and paper! I find using hudls playbook is the best though! #swarmfbchat

Coach_JRogers Jul 25 @ 9:32 PM EDT

We also do lot of walk through. In the summer do lot class room time too. #swarmfbchat

CoachGiancola Jul 25 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Make consumption as multiple as possible. Engage all learners. Make it player centric. Flipped classroom model is GREAT #swarmfbchat

Joebruneel Jul 25 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A3: #swarmfbchat Best method I've found is to draw it up on a board and have the kids copy it down and they have a personal playbook.

rmacblue - Moderator Jul 25 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Q4: Coaches, what is your method of teaching? Do you give quizzes prior to the game? How do you test your kids Football IQ? #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jul 25 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A4:I use the quizzing platform created by @JustPlaySS Has both recall and stopwatch features. Tracks all %/attempts. #swarmfbchat

CoachGiancola Jul 25 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A4: Flipped classroom. Send out installs, players see before meeting, go over in meeting and on field #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jul 25 @ 9:37 PM EDT

I used to use paper..even google forms...but my online quizzes have video attached - a true test of IQ IMO #swarmfbchat

CoachGiancola Jul 25 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4 pt 2: Check for learning with online & paper quizzes. Players exposed to scheme multiple ways. COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY is key #swarmfbchat

CoachDobbinsSE Jul 25 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4: Cont. I do my best to let my kids play free and fly around, keep techniques and calls simple #swarmfbchat

freezysmalls Jul 25 @ 9:38 PM EDT

honeycutt_cody Jul 25 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4: practice is how we tell. How fast kids play tells you what you need to know. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @rmacblue

Coach_JRogers Jul 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4) Ask lot of ?s in meetings and walk through no matter how they played the play. Want them to understand their movement. #swarmfbchat

CoachGiancola Jul 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Being transparent also creates an atmosphere that eliminates doubt and anxiety. Guys play faster and more productively that way #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jul 25 @ 9:40 PM EDT

I also like that I get to use all of my Huld practice and game film with the @JustPlaySS system. #swarmfbchat

freezysmalls Jul 25 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A2 we platoon and we have about 10 mins of specials everyday. Just going over basics in blocking and use of hands. No schemes #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator Jul 25 @ 9:17 PM EDT

freezysmalls Jul 25 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A4 we found a lot of success talking things out on the field We just installed 3-4 so getting all LBs on same page is crucial #SWARMFBCHAT
