_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Special teams represents the 3rd aspect of the football game. Just as important as offense & defense #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBlacha Jun 14 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: don't get a kick or punt blocked, block a punt or kick, cause a turnover, 1 big ST play can change the outcome of a game #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJTW Jun 14 @ 8:09 PM EDT

#GAHSFBCHAT coach white DC

Southside_Nate Jun 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: We want to precise in our Special Team phase of the game. It's just as important as OFF/DEF to us #GAHSFBCHAT

MatthewRPark Jun 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1. The most important element of the game. It can make up for a lot of missed offense or defensive opportunities. #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

I've believe that your best plays should be mixed in with a few young dudes to make a great unit since it's a part of the game #GAHSFBCHAT

GrantMyers44 Jun 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: don't give up any points in the kicking game, put the O/D in great field position #GAHSFBCHAT

coachjdavis_ Jun 14 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: We will pride ourselves solid coverage show extreme speed, power, and discipline (lane assignments). #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/Q8L4QE8G2v

wingtcoachdon Jun 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: Special teams are "special." Our HC ( @matt_lester_ ) puts them at the start of practice. ALL coaches have a job in ALL ST. #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: Special Teams are only as important as the HFC makes them. If the HFC emphasis them then everyone else will #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJohnson_13 Jun 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1 Cont: Coverage teams must be on one accord. Must perform like worker ants. Know your job, and do your job precisely #GAHSFBCHAT

DrBThomas Jun 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

All starts should be on special teams #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Q2: How do Special Teams fit into your weekly practice schedule? How much time each day? Which team each day? #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachTJones82 Jun 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A:1 Special teams win and lose games. I believe putting the best players on team but I want to smart about how many they are on #GAHSFBCHAT

tbanks1906 Jun 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A1: Never punt unless I have 2. Onside kick. Basically be agressive & have the best KR in the state #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/hSc8mBEc6K

tbanks1906 Jun 14 @ 8:18 PM EDT

CoachBlacha Jun 14 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: beginning of every practice about 15 mins. Emphasizing precision and knowing what to do when things go bad #GAHSFBCHAT

coachjdavis_ Jun 14 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: In the past, special teams is a Wed or Thurs component of practice at the beginning for about 20mins #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/g8KE1yNg8T

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Q2: How do Special Teams fit into your weekly practice schedule? How much time each day? Which team each day? #GAHSFBCHAT

fordtough301 Jun 14 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: Monday/Wednesday punt and kick off. Tuesday KOR/Punt Block. Will do live PAT/FG work this year everyday most likely #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachTJones82 Jun 14 @ 8:20 PM EDT

When I become a HFC I will coordinate my own special teams. So I can coach all the kids and not just offense #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@fordtough301 like the idea of doing live PAT/FG...Kinda skeptical though. OL tend to get hurt with a lot of live reps there. #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Monday: Punt, PAT/FG, Kick-off RT, Tue: Punt, Kick-off, Pat/FG block, Wed: Punt, Punt Return, Pat/FG, Thur: All #GAHSFBCHAT

MatthewRPark Jun 14 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2. Pre Practice is designated for kickers and catchers to get loose everyday. Right into any kicking game decided by he HC. #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@CoachTJones82 I like that mentality coach #GAHSFBCHAT

coachjdavis_ Jun 14 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2: In the past, ST is a Wed or Thurs component of practice at the beginning for at least 30-45mins #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/g8KE1yNg8T

Q2: How do Special Teams fit into your weekly practice schedule? How much time each day? Which team each day? #GAHSFBCHAT

andrewsDBU Jun 14 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2: 20 minutes a day... 2 units a day... #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:21 PM EDT

I have a great rhyme and reason #GAHSFBCHAT

MatthewRPark Jun 14 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2. We like to cover a special team everyday. Start practice with it. IT'S THAT IMPORTANT #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJohnson_13 Jun 14 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Monday & Tuesday- Punt/Punt Return (1st and 2nd Teams) Wednesday &Thursday- All Special Teams. Constant reps #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJohnson_13 Jun 14 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 Monday & Tuesday- Punt/Punt Return (1st and 2nd Teams) Wednesday &Thursday- All Special Teams. Constant reps #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@CoachJTW fake is part of repping punt #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:23 PM EDT

How many fake punts/FG will you take into any given game? #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@tbanks1906 @CoachJTW definitely a luxury to have #GAHSFBCHAT

gmanoneone Jun 14 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Garrett Cox South Effingham HS sorry I'm late #GAHSFBCHAT

tbanks1906 Jun 14 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3: we take all 3 from week 2 week maybe a special one. #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/xxbMTgj18c

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:23 PM EDT

How many fake punts/FG will you take into any given game? #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@gmanoneone welcome to the show coach #GAHSFBCHAT

jwfaure Jun 14 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A1 games are won and lose in special teams... High importance placed on them! #gahsfbchat

wingtcoachdon Jun 14 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2: About the first 25 mins. of practice are set aside for ST. #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Q3 on the way in 2 minutes coaches! #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2: I think what u rep 4 the day depends on if u r in helmets, shells or full pads. I do kick-off & PaT/Block on Full pad days #GAHSFBCHAT

jwfaure Jun 14 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2 20 mins every session, generally at the start.. Big focus on kick off and return. My philosophy is punting is for quitters #gahsfbchat

jwfaure Jun 14 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Joshua Faure - HC Northern Raiders (HS equivalent) AUSTRALIA #gahsfbchat

coachjdavis_ Jun 14 @ 8:26 PM EDT

We used to keep 2 or 3 in the back pocket just in case! Certain emphasis placed on one based off film! #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/dnjaRsbZWr

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:23 PM EDT

How many fake punts/FG will you take into any given game? #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Q3: Do you use your starters on any Special Team? Why or why not? #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3 yes to starters bcuz it's the 3rd phase of the game #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBlacha Jun 14 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3: yes because numbers are limited. We also want the best guys on the field at all times. Best chances for big plays #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@artink67 All starters or do you mix in some 2nd & 3rd string guys? #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachK_NFA Jun 14 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@_CoachTSmith I was Special Team Co. We did 15-20 min each day. Punt team was everyday because it's often used the most. #GAHSFBCHAT

wingtcoachdon Jun 14 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3: Starters should be used where possible. Hard to find a spot for the "next best" kids when trying to win a game. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJohnson_13 Jun 14 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3 Absolutely. Always have to put the best players that are the best FIT for that specific special team on the field! #gahsfbchat

coachjdavis_ Jun 14 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3: The best 11 will play regardless! May throw some young guys in occasionally to get some Varsity time #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/XdOWgZmuRi

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Q3: Do you use your starters on any Special Team? Why or why not? #GAHSFBCHAT

GrantMyers44 Jun 14 @ 8:30 PM EDT

Punt and Kickoff get BEST players available, majority is starters. KOR /Punt Block a mix of backup/role players and starters #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@_CoachTSmith #GAHSFBCHAT Mix in some young guys especially sophomores if they are ready bcuz it keeps them hungry in the program

jwfaure Jun 14 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3 yes... We like to put the best players on the field. I will mix some 2nd and 3rd string in there too.. But like starters in #gahsfbchat

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@artink67 i agree. Especially on Punt Block team #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJohnson_13 Jun 14 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3 With that said you may have some 2nd/3rd team O/D guys that are better on Special teams than those starters & have earned it #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@GrantMyers44 sounds like you learned from an old man #GAHSFBCHAT

MatthewRPark Jun 14 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3. We use the best players. Guys with speed, lane integrity, body control, great tacklers.I sure hope they're our starters. #GAHSFBCHAT

MatthewRPark Jun 14 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3. Cont -Great way for a 2nd string guy to fight his way on the field. A way to get a young kids feet wet on Friday. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachK_NFA Jun 14 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@_CoachTSmith I want the best 11 on the field. You can't hide scrubs on special teams. I want all players to buy in.#GAHSFBCHAT

GrantMyers44 Jun 14 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@artink67 I was groomed by some dinosaurs #GAHSFBCHAT

tbanks1906 Jun 14 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3: if you can't start on at least 1 ST. Then u can't start here on either side. Probably 2 #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/IUik3oxe9i

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Q3: Do you use your starters on any Special Team? Why or why not? #GAHSFBCHAT

andrewsDBU Jun 14 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3: Yes starters play special teams... You will get subbed out on offense or defense before special teams #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@andrewsDBU i agree #GAHSFBCHAT

tbanks1906 Jun 14 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3: backups play. Experience is taught but starters play 2 #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/IUik3oxe9i

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Q3: Do you use your starters on any Special Team? Why or why not? #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A3: my concern is that playing all starters on all ST is that you will wear them down in the 4th qt if it's a tight game #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Off to a great start fellas. Keep sharing that knowledge. Q4 is 2 minutes away. #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A3: ST where the opponent can't score points is where u can play some younger dudes #GAHSFBCHAT

fordtough301 Jun 14 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@MatthewRPark Camdens coverage units were spectacular last year #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Q4: How do you divide Special Teams duties amongst your coaches? Do you have a Special Teams Coordinator? #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:38 PM EDT

When I coached on Great teams, r young players took pride n ST & we rarely played starters bcuz da young players knew it's on me #GAHSFBCHAT

GrantMyers44 Jun 14 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A4: HC dictates philosophy but we are very fortunate to have a former All American kicker as our ST coordinator #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBlacha Jun 14 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4: I think just assigned a spot. I use to punt so I work with punters and punt team and punt return/block #GAHSFBCHAT

tbanks1906 Jun 14 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4: we have a STC but every coach is assigned 1 special team 2 help. I run punt though. #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/PbyZkeNMfv

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Q4: How do you divide Special Teams duties amongst your coaches? Do you have a Special Teams Coordinator? #GAHSFBCHAT

MatthewRPark Jun 14 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A4. Every coach has a player to coach. During those periods it's the most important job for him. Coach the details hard. #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@wingtcoachdon starters can be back-ups so when needed they know what to do #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:40 PM EDT

#GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/ImfyLl5qAL

gmanoneone Jun 14 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4: yes we have ST coordinator, ST that tackle(punt, KO etc)are coached by Def coaches the others are by Off coaches https://t.co/abUvbejwnL

coachjdavis_ Jun 14 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A4: In the past, there was always a Special Teams Coordinator with other coaches assisting him as needed #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/cqkjPlVCU1

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Q4: How do you divide Special Teams duties amongst your coaches? Do you have a Special Teams Coordinator? #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJohnson_13 Jun 14 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A4 our HC Hannah Oversees them all here but we all have a different duty on each special teams unit. #GAHSFBCHAT

andrewsDBU Jun 14 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A4: we have a STC... he gices duties to other coaches... I manage all #GAHSFBCHAT

GrantMyers44 Jun 14 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A4 cont: each coach has an ST role, ex: I coach left side of punt team, KO gunner, TE on KOR, and Contain rushers on punt block #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJohnson_13 Jun 14 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4 Example: I'm responsible for Gunners on Punt/PR & Numbers 1 & 2 on Kick off teams. #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Jun 14 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4: I like 4 coaches 2 coach all special teams 2 get maximum consistency on all ST bcuz some coaches don't take pride in them #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachK_NFA Jun 14 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@_CoachTSmith A4: when I was HC I divided the ST among assistant coaches so they would have ownership and show the importance. #GAHSFBCHAT

wingtcoachdon Jun 14 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4: Kinda like this, and we do have a ST coordinator. #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/bVKIZvd40M

MatthewRPark Jun 14 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4. Cont- allows the coaches to put pressure on the other players not just the kicker. #GAHSFBCHAT

wingtcoachdon Jun 14 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@artink67 Also VERY reasonable to think! #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Coming down the home stretch coaches. Let's finish strong! Q5 on the way in 2 minutes. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBlacha Jun 14 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@wingtcoachdon I like that a lot makes it easier to coach position than a whole group of ppl #GAHSFBCHAT

SenatorCoach Jun 14 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Cameron Andersen, Head Football Coach, Gooding High School Senators, Gooding, Idaho.... Sorry I am late! #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@SenatorCoach welcome to the party coach #GAHSFBCHAT

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Q5: When do you begin working on Special Teams? #GAHSFBCHAT

coachjdavis_ Jun 14 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A5: ST is something that is installed after camp but b4 the season. In season is just constant review #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/SoqLhEXBJH

_CoachTSmith Jun 14 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Q5: When do you begin working on Special Teams? #GAHSFBCHAT

SenatorCoach Jun 14 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A1: We practice specials every day! One of the most important dynamics of the game! Must be sound in this phase! #GAHSFBCHAT

gmanoneone Jun 14 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A5: we do some in spring mainly for the spring game but work some drills starting next week. Always on our minds though #GAHSFBCHAT

wingtcoachdon Jun 14 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@CoachBlacha Used to have a HC who assigned a ST to each coach. Liked the idea, but prefer that each coach has a job on each ST. #GAHSFBCHAT

BrockWillis Jun 14 @ 8:49 PM EDT

Special Teams might not be a 1/3 of the game from a play perspective. But more than 1/2 the game from a yardage perspective #GAHSFBCHAT

andrewsDBU Jun 14 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A5: Spring ball... Continue into summer thru season #GAHSFBCHAT

GrantMyers44 Jun 14 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5: Been working punt team since spring. FG Kicker comes to summer workouts 8-10 and when we are on the field he kicks FG solo #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBlacha Jun 14 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5: Day 1, has to be near perfection anytime we use them. Can't give up the big play that can cost us ultimately #GAHSFBCHAT

tbanks1906 Jun 14 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5: already started #GAHSFBCHAT https://t.co/goG5xQFpkm

A6 we hand out a ST game ball, and assign a ST "captain" .. gets the kids to wanna work hard on ST #gahsfbchat
