    We do FG/Kickoff/Punt on M/T/W (not always same day), plus Thurs. Only do returns on Thursday. #wvhsfbchat
    • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Jan 22 @ 9:08 PM EST
      Q1: how much time per day do you spend on special teams and is the team on a rotation (i.e.: punt Monday, return tues, etc) #wvhsfbchat
  • CoachJoshHadden Jan 22 @ 9:20 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat A1 cont: SC limits middle school practice to only 2 hours incl. conditioning. Hard to get ST work in every day.
  • CoachRmcD60 Jan 22 @ 9:20 PM EST
    Good tacklers runners who can cover and make plays. We are 5x5. #wvhsfbchat
  • Coach_Bullock Jan 22 @ 9:20 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat A2: we look for speed and tackling. Also a guy that can kickoff out of the end zone. Wink.
  • CoachRmcD60 Jan 22 @ 9:20 PM EST
    Q2 do anyof you pod up to confuse coverage #wvhsfbchat
  • Skillutt28 Jan 22 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2. Tough Guys who can run & tackle in open space. Have a nose for the ball. We are 5-5. #wvhsfbchat
  • Coach_Bullock Jan 22 @ 9:21 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat A2: depends if we decide to kick from the hash. We sky kick a bunch if we do not have a big leg
  • canfbchat Jan 22 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2) The same as all my specials. Fast and okay being in a collision. Other skills are a plus. 6-5 (Canadian) #wvhsfbchat
  • Hbfootball Jan 22 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2: 5-5 and 6-4. All KO coverage guys are athletic and can tackle well.#wvhsfbchat
  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 22 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2: Crazy...lol. Looking quick kids who can get down the field and make a tackle. Wedge busters in the middle. Usually 5&5. #wvhsfbchat
  • kdawgswift Jan 22 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2: 6-4 Kicking to near Corner 4 Side LBs TE physical decent speed. 6 side DBs & WR speed got to cover ground. #wvhsfbchat
    In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • SSHS_CoachCoons Jan 22 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2: looking for guys that can run down the field and are good tacklers. Not afraid of contact and will run through blocks. #wvhsfbchat
  • Coach_Gehrts Jan 22 @ 9:22 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat we have 2 10 minute periods a day. Monday P, PR Tues K, KO, Wed Goaline Thursday is pregame and we do all of them
  • 11across Jan 22 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2: 1st - good tackles. 2nd - speed. Usually no OL on coverage teams. #wvhsfbchat
  • zachdavis24 Jan 22 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2) 6-4.. want to kick the ball outside the hash to either side #wvhsfbchat
  • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Jan 22 @ 9:23 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat
    • DerekAnnechino Jan 22 @ 9:21 PM EST
      I am balanced 5 and 5. I am looking for WR, RB, LB, DB. I want kids that can run. Kicker needs to be place ball in spots
      In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • canfbchat Jan 22 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2 cont) I liked "chasing perfection" so I'm making players fill out an application to play specials this year. Especially ko #wvhsfbchat
  • coachbates Jan 22 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2: We're 5x5, but will pod or stack to confuse. Look for kids who play fast, tackle, & want to make plays. #wvhsfbchat
  • D_Mitchell91 Jan 22 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2 we try to have very best 11 on all our special teams! want guys that go 100 mph and understand the importance of that play #wvhsfbchat
  • Coach_Bullock Jan 22 @ 9:24 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat we start our aiming point at either top of numbers on 30 or 25. Depends. We like to kick to a weak link. Unsure hands
    In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • canfbchat Jan 22 @ 9:24 PM EST
    A2 cont) don't kick it that far so we are looking for a recovery. Tackling not as big of an issue then for us #wvhsfbchat
  • CoachJoshHadden Jan 22 @ 9:24 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat A2: 5x5. Look for speed guys to get down there along with some hitters.
  • kdawgswift Jan 22 @ 9:26 PM EST
    We would rather speed our time working on coverage of different style kicks into near corner or to wide soft pooch area #wvhsfbchat
    In reply to @CoachRmcD60
  • zachdavis24 Jan 22 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A2 cont) we want skill kids that will run and hit.. most of them are defensive starters #wvhsfbchat
  • Coach_Gehrts Jan 22 @ 9:26 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat A2 we primarily have defensive guys on KO. Change up the look a lot. 6x4, 5x5, stacked, bunched etc.
  • CoachU_ Jan 22 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A2) we go from balanced the 6-4 depending on if we kick from hash. Most kids are going to be 2 depth defensive guys #wvhsfbchat
    In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • F_Wilczynski5 Jan 22 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A2: players that get downfield & tackle . Most of all, players who want to be on KO. Still fighting importance of STs #wvhsfbchat
  • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Jan 22 @ 9:26 PM EST
    Q3: on average how often do you onside kick in a season, And what makes you take that shot? #wvhsfbchat
  • SSHS_CoachCoons Jan 22 @ 9:27 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat
    • SSHS_CoachCoons Jan 22 @ 9:24 PM EST
      A2 cont: We have done both 5v5 and 6v4 from hash. Depends on our kicker. If he can put the ball between hash and sideline 6v4#wvhsfbchat
  • CoachU_ Jan 22 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3) not much at all, we did more sky right/left then anything else #wvhsfbchat
    In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • coachmolzen Jan 22 @ 9:28 PM EST
    A2) Depends on our kicker. Looking for what everyone else is. Also, disciplined. SP team penalties usually killers. #wvhsfbchat
  • CoachRmcD60 Jan 22 @ 9:28 PM EST
    A3 depends on if you see a weakness on covg or you want to take a shot at stealing a possession #wvhsfbchat
  • coachbates Jan 22 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3: 1-2 times a season, based on score. Need to do it more often, as a surprise . #wvhsfbchat
  • Skillutt28 Jan 22 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3. Onside only a few times this past season. Did more the previous 2 seasons. If we see an early vacanted area or open area. #wvhsfbchat
  • zachdavis24 Jan 22 @ 9:30 PM EST
    A3) depends on the situation and it's film plus what they do on their first kickoff. Onside kicked twice last year. #wvhsfbchat
  • 11across Jan 22 @ 9:30 PM EST
    Love this type of ST practice focus. For us, need to get kickers practicing several kicks apart from practicing coverage #wvhsfbchat
    • kdawgswift Jan 22 @ 9:26 PM EST
      We would rather speed our time working on coverage of different style kicks into near corner or to wide soft pooch area #wvhsfbchat
      In reply to @CoachRmcD60
  • canfbchat Jan 22 @ 9:30 PM EST
    A3) if up to me I would everytime. Give them ball on 40 or onside and have a legit shot at the ball with them getting it at 45? #wvhsfbchat
  • coachmolzen Jan 22 @ 9:30 PM EST
    A3) Didn't attempt 1 last year. Had in game plan but never used. Must take a chance early in season to get teams 2 prepare 4 it #wvhsfbchat
  • Coach_Gehrts Jan 22 @ 9:30 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat A3) depends how well our kicker can kick them. Our ST coach is a master mind with doing different things though @WView_Wrestling
    In reply to @WView_Wrestling
  • CoachJoshHadden Jan 22 @ 9:31 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat A3: A few times. Might do it based off their KRet alignment, a possible weak link up front, or after a big score/sudden change
  • F_Wilczynski5 Jan 22 @ 9:32 PM EST
    A3: Didn't do it at all this past season, would like to include it to try and steal a possession if it's right situation #wvhsfbchat
  • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Jan 22 @ 9:33 PM EST
    Q4: most of us use several starters on special teams, what are you doing to get them to take that job as seriously as O or D? #wvhsfbchat
  • kdawgswift Jan 22 @ 9:33 PM EST
    A3: probably 2 to 4 times. We look for KOR Team cheating to get back or if on heels #wvhsfbchat
    In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • D_Mitchell91 Jan 22 @ 9:34 PM EST
    Would like to do it more to give opponents 1 more thing they have to spend time on instead of spendin it on stopping our O or D #wvhsfbchat
  • canfbchat Jan 22 @ 9:35 PM EST
    A4) require a special teams application. And make them fun so they want to be on them #wvhsfbchat
  • Coach_Bullock Jan 22 @ 9:35 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat A4: head coach is specs coordinator. We preach it. Reward great specs play. We show a tape of where specs won or lost 'ships
  • CoachRmcD60 Jan 22 @ 9:36 PM EST
    A4 most of those guys are the ones who like to fly down and hit but also like to minimize reaps and maybe only give them 50% #wvhsfbchat
  • 11across Jan 22 @ 9:36 PM EST
    Would like to do 1+ per game, for both X&O advantage, as well as making other teams prep for it. #wvhsfbchat
  • Coach_Bullock Jan 22 @ 9:36 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat A4: if we pull starters in a blow out. They stay on specs but sit on O and D. They are that important. Sends a message.
  • SSHS_CoachCoons Jan 22 @ 9:37 PM EST
    A4: Have to sell the importance of special teams on the outcome of games. Gotta get them to buy in and how we need them on it. #wvhsfbchat
  • zachdavis24 Jan 22 @ 9:37 PM EST
    A4) 0-10 to 4-6.. you start to win games, it's amazing how much buy in you get for special teams. Every rep matters! #wvhsfbchat
  • coachbates Jan 22 @ 9:37 PM EST
    A4: Practicing ST every day sends the message that it's just as important as O or D. Give a shirt to player of week. #wvhsfbchat
  • CoachU_ Jan 22 @ 9:38 PM EST
    A4) putting them in positions they believe are important. ie. P.protector, Gunner, Returner, etc... #wvhsfbchat
    In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • canfbchat Jan 22 @ 9:38 PM EST
    Special Teams Application. #wvhsfbchat
    • canfbchat Jan 22 @ 9:34 PM EST
      not my idea. Got it from Terry Edison the special teams coordinator for De La Selle in the book "chasing perfection"
      In reply to @Coach_Gehrts
  • jrmyhanson Jan 22 @ 9:39 PM EST
    A3) we try to kick one per game. Timing and attention of opponents front line factor in. We fake an inside on every kick #wvhsfbchat
  • Skillutt28 Jan 22 @ 9:40 PM EST
    A4. Many D starters on KO. Tell em it helps out starting position for them. And HC is very involved in STs. Pride as competitor. #wvhsfbchat
  • jrmyhanson Jan 22 @ 9:40 PM EST
    A4) we replace them. Don't take it serious I'll play a kid that will. May lose talent, but effort & execution are more important #wvhsfbchat
  • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Jan 22 @ 9:41 PM EST
    Q5: what formation do you like to punt the ball out of and why? #wvhsfbchat
  • D_Mitchell91 Jan 22 @ 9:42 PM EST
    A4 stress the importance daily. live reps in pract. N everything but KOC Show film of special teams winnin and losin games #wvhsfbchat
  • Hbfootball Jan 22 @ 9:43 PM EST
    A5: spread. #wvhsfbchat
  • Skillutt28 Jan 22 @ 9:43 PM EST
    A5. We punt out of our Offense with our Q. #wvhsfbchat
  • kdawgswift Jan 22 @ 9:44 PM EST
    A4:Tell them if they can't go full out on ST & be great we can't hide their sorry butts O or D. Take reps away from them -O & D #wvhsfbchat
    In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • CoachU_ Jan 22 @ 9:44 PM EST
    A5) personally I like the twins look with a nub side to see if there are any opportunities to catch the D off guard #wvhsfbchat
    In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • coachmolzen Jan 22 @ 9:44 PM EST
    A5) going to back to traditional spread b/c will have a good punter. Last rugby style w/ a qb #wvhsfbchat
  • Coach_Bullock Jan 22 @ 9:45 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat A5: we are shield punt. Great coverage along with protection. Toying with coaches idea to punt with offense
  • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Jan 22 @ 9:46 PM EST
    I love to punt out of a Y trips look, gives solid protection with countless fakes! #wvhsfbchat
  • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Jan 22 @ 9:47 PM EST
    A5: also allows us to shift and get a 6th eligible! Forcing the d to guard 6 and return with 1 makes it tough to pressure! #wvhsfbchat
  • kdawgswift Jan 22 @ 9:49 PM EST
    A5: because we have a 6 play offense out of it all based on a color Punter/ QB calls after seeing coverage. #wvhsfbchat opponents spend time
    In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • CoachJoshHadden Jan 22 @ 9:49 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat A5: With the kids I had this year, we were tight. Helped us block/protect better. Got gashed from spread.
  • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Jan 22 @ 9:51 PM EST
    Q6: what are your favorite kick and punt coverage drills? #wvhsfbchat
  • coachvint Jan 22 @ 9:52 PM EST
    A lot of great ideas tonight! #wvhsfbchat
  • canfbchat Jan 22 @ 9:54 PM EST
    A5) thinking I'll give this a try this year. #wvhsfbchat
  • kdawgswift Jan 22 @ 9:54 PM EST
    A6: KO Burma Road / Cans to Triangle around returner. Punt add some they have to release escape from #wvhsfbchat
    In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • coachvint Jan 22 @ 9:56 PM EST
    This may be the first chat I have followed without them! Maybe we need to mention PPO's. Punt-Pass-Options! Next book idea? #wvhsfbchat
  • D_Mitchell91 Jan 22 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A5 we go tight punt with a personal protector. Like the protection it provides. Can't cover a blocked punt ! #wvhsfbchat
  • Skillutt28 Jan 22 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A6. Early on, work on running down to landmarks vs Air. Then add in 1 or 2 KR. Then moving bods. Get into games, add scout team. #wvhsfbchat
  • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Jan 22 @ 9:58 PM EST
    Well that will do it! Thanks for joining, I will later tweet a link to the @participate transcripts for tonight's chat! #wvhsfbchat
