Q1: how do you implement your HS offense at your middle school? #hogfbchat

coach_remer Jun 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1: pretty easily. Our whole staff is 3 people for 7-12. They run the same plays, maybe simpler formations/motions #hogfbchat

CoachBennett32 Jun 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1: new school this year, we are Flexbone, so the middle school will start in the double wing. Baby steps #hogfbchat

CoachLisaLimper Jun 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1 - I want to hear this. We never could. Our feeder school had four different coaches in the five years I was there. #hogfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Jun 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1 give them the everyday hat hangers and allow them to grow a little from there have them sit in on meetings to learn with HS #hogfbchat

A1: this will be the first year doing it for us. Slowly and simply is my plan. Let them adapt within the system #hogfbchat

jasongrhmtx Jun 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A1 we've had HS coaches working with our middle schoolers for years so we install the basics of offense for our middle school. #hogfbchat

CoachDingus - Moderator Jun 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A1: One or Two formations and 4 runs plays and a few pass concepts. Just the bread and butter! #Hogfbchat

justiniske Jun 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A1: Terminology and techniques taught must be the same in order for kids (and the team) to reach their potential #hogfbchat

CoachBennett32 Jun 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A1 part 2: seen this several ways. Was in a school last year with no true "feeder" that came only to us. So couldn't do anything #hogfbchat

CoachBigPete Jun 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

#hogfbchat A.1: You don't... You make sure they learn technique and you give them a simple offense Too many hot dog coaches in Pee-Wee

thecoachvogt Jun 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A1. That's a thing? #Hogfbchat

CoachMBounds Jun 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I want the OL terminology and steps in before the offense. Once they understand that scheme is easy to implement. #hogfbchat

CoachDingus - Moderator Jun 26 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Q1: how do you implement your HS offense at your middle school? #hogfbchat

Tpeck2 Jun 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

#hogfbchat A1) When I was the MS coach, I had to clinic with the varsity HC and DC/OC to learn system, while running summer varsity drills

coach_u87 Jun 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

CoachGiancola Jun 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1: Never installed with MS kids when I coached HS, but we lifted them after school in spring. Rising frosh team camp in summer #hogfbchat

Coach_Sneed_BHS Jun 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1 In a large city you could have kids coming into 9th grade from 4-5 different middle schools. So, none. #hogfbchat

Late to the party fellas. Craig Bivins Kellyville, OK #hogfbchat

coachfraz1120 Jun 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

CoachRoberts_OL Jun 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1. HS staff will work with the JH players 1-2 times during the wk. Terminology and philosophy is the same - just less complex #hogfbchat

CoachBennett32 Jun 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1 pt 3: before that, I was at a school with 2 middle school feeders, one who ran our stuff, and one who did thing their way #hogfbchat

coachruffbc Jun 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1: Usually some type of clinic followed by visits to youth practices. Youth coaches know we're an open book. #hogfbchat

Coach_MarkBrown Jun 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1: By having a coaching clinic for all of our youth coaches. Implementing it at the varsity level first coming into the new job. #HogFBChat

A1: not happening, no vertical control. We've tried in the past, they have a little bit of it but there is no implementation #hogfbchat

Moggy0303 Jun 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1 in England MS doesn't exist. Most come to uni having never played #hogfbchat

Tpeck2 Jun 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

#hogfbchat A1 cont We would just install like normal after coaches learned. Were able to add own wrinkles, and no base STs

CoachDingus - Moderator Jun 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1: The young kids need to concentrate on getting better and mastering the simple plays of an offense. IMO #Hogfbchat don't over coach!

coachruffbc Jun 26 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A1: cont I've seen it both ways. Pare it down, different system...bottom line: focus on fundys and have FUN #hogfbchat

CoachBennett32 Jun 26 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Q2: Steps and hands will be taught. Probably won't drill pass sets yet. Not many gunslingers at middle school level #hogfbchat

fritts57 Jun 26 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A2: any drills where advanced technique is involved. Keep it simple. Stance, steps, contact, feet moving. #hogfbchat

Coach_Adam_Mac Jun 26 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Stances/starts. At a young age you have to practice the little thing so they actually become 'little things' in the grand scheme #hogfbchat

A2 have to go very basics. Build a base layer of sound fundamentals. Line wise stance, pad level, steps, strike. Keep it simple. #hogfbchat

A2: Steps and hands will be taught. Probably won't drill pass sets yet. Not many gunslingers at middle school level #hogfbchat #hogfbchat

CoachBigPete Jun 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A1: Stress Drills that promote good low balence and hip movement. #hogfbchat

SkinnyOLcoach Jun 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A2. Don't think kids should play till 5th & that might be too young IMO 6th and up for sure. That's MS and basically HS lite. #HogFBChat

tabs052 Jun 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A2. Seen a lot of knucklehead coaches run kids off by doing stupid useless hitting drills like bull in the ring etc.. #hogfbchat

AHSCoach_Carey Jun 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A2: Stress Footwork, Leverage, and Hand Placement. Key thing I notice with young guys is keeping their head up #HogFBChat

CoachScoretuddy Jun 26 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A2 pt 2: Avoid over complicating things. Stunting, complex pressure, multiple pass rush moves, etc. Just lay the foundation! #hogfbchat

#hogfbchat A2) I teach movement skills and placement of appendages. If you are in the right position, everything else is easy

CoachBigPete Jun 26 @ 9:34 PM EDT

if you as a Pee-Wee coach overwork a 10-13 year old you need a swift kick in the ass. The Game should be fun at that age #hogfbchat

Coach_Etch Jun 26 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A2: focus is on good stances and stepping with the correct foot. If young guys can get n a good stance they can take good steps. #Hogfbchat

BivinsCraig Jun 26 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A2 avoid a lot of the line up 10 yards apart and just smash heads 1. Not a realistic look. 2. 8th grader w/beard wins always. #hogfbchat

Totally agree. No reason to rush into it, full contact football at least. #hogfbchat

SkinnyOLcoach Jun 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A2. Don't think kids should play till 5th & that might be too young IMO 6th and up for sure. That's MS and basically HS lite. #HogFBChat

CoachRmcD60 Jun 26 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A3 everything has to be progression based have to walk before you run #hogfbchat

CoachDingus - Moderator Jun 26 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A3: Slightly off topic, but weightroom shouldnt be used by 6th and 7th graders. IMO I think 8th Grade should be when that starts #Hogfbchat

jasongrhmtx Jun 26 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A3. Allow more time for demonstration and teaching. No one can do a lot of these things without reps and coaching. Be patient. #hogfbchat

CoachWelchOL Jun 26 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A3: number of plays, try to find mastery rather than a "jack of all" #hogfbchat

CoachRoberts_OL Jun 26 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A3. SLOW IT DOWN. Focus on the the progression of the players instead of getting to another drill #hogfbchat

Coach_Etch Jun 26 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A3: just slow it down. As many reps with good coaching going on. They don't need to be overloaded. #Hogfbchat

coachfraz1120 Jun 26 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A3: Taking notes on this one. Looking for good MS ideas #hogfbchat

justiniske Jun 26 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Lower your standards. Harsh, but true. If they have a decent stance and can take the correct step and punch. I've created a hog #hogfbchat

A3) Regardless of what they do at the youth/junior high level, I always start back with basics when they finally get to me. #hogfbchat

A3 cont: Should be emphasised! Also everything is on bags and light contact when possible. #hogfbchat

CoachHansen05 Jun 26 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A3: Speed of the drill ⬇️. Amount of verbal instruction ⬆️. Time/repetition ⬆️. Feedback and communication ⬆️⬆️. #hogfbchat

CoachDingus - Moderator Jun 26 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Q3: what adaptations to drills will you make at those levels? #Hogfbchat

A3 cont. but that is after we rep stance and starts for a long while and we are ready for it. #Hogfbchat

Coach_Timmerman Jun 26 @ 9:40 PM EDT

CoachGiancola Jun 26 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A3: Make sure everyone is involved. Too much standing around is detrimental #hogfbchat

Drillstack Jun 26 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A3 drills are essentially the same, much slower pace. Lots of teaching. Less emphasis on live drills #hogfbchat

CoachMillerOL Jun 26 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A3 cont. I am a big fan of 1o1's without pads. Feet and hands need to be on point. True technique and not just banging. #hogfbchat

Coach_LMorman Jun 26 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4 - The younger they are, the more patient you have to be. #hogfbchat

coachfraz1120 Jun 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A4: Demand more from HS kids than MS. More technical and detailed. MS just happy if they go the right direction #hogfbchat #hogfbchat

A4: Criticism Levels, cant really get angry with kid thats trying to learn the game #hogfbchat

CoachGiancola Jun 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A4: Depends on skill level. Coach to their ability. No matter the level, need to see stance and start. Don't assume they know #hogfbchat

CoachDingus - Moderator Jun 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A4. Have to be much more patient. You can be the same person, but you've got to remember who you are coaching. Make it positive. #hogfbchat

CoachBennett32 Jun 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A4: intensity is dialed back a bit towards mistakes with the young kids. Language changes, and accountability increases with age #hogfbchat

Drillstack Jun 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A4) The jokes get better. Same mentality, and goals. #Hogfbchat

SkinnyOLcoach Jun 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A4. Have to lower your expectations. Not even physically but mentally for kid(hard to remember at HS sometimes too). #hogfbchat

A4: cont... At the HS and collegiate I want to see what they already know then build off what they know or fix old habits to fit. #hogfbchat

Coach_Macella Jun 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A4 stay positive with them probably something I need to do a better job of with my older guys at times too #hogfbchat

CoachDingus - Moderator Jun 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A4: HS no excuses! MS more lenient because they are learning. But still firm and demand the best. #hogfbchat

Blake_Amsler Jun 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A1 more patience. And star wars jokes. #hogfbchat

Q4: How does your coaching style change from coaching OL at a youth level to HS or even college? #HogFBChat

BivinsCraig Jun 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A4 set the tone and expectations while theyre young. Emphasize technique and max effort. Anytime they do that praise like crazy #hogfbchat

CoachMillerOL Jun 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A4 cont still bring some positive intensity. It's fun to see young kids get excited about being O-linemen and blocking! #hogfbchat

Coach_Timmerman Jun 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A4) Intensity level, vocabulary (less technical terms for young kids), amount of contact, expectations for mastery, etc. #hogfbchat

DHonerlaw Jun 26 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Absolutely makes me cringe. #hogfbchat

CoachDingus - Moderator Jun 26 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A4: As for youth. Go watch Friday Night Tykes and do the opposite. Good grief! #hogfbchat

Tpeck2 Jun 26 @ 9:53 PM EDT

#hogfbchat A4) I do not get as involved in drills... ideally. I figure if a kid can beat an out of shape me, they are good. No changes

CoachSimard Jun 26 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A1: FUNdamentals! 1st HS coaches do a clinic for youth coaches - emphasizing FUN 1st, then fundamentals - but gotta b fun forthem #Hogfbchat

AHSCoachSoria Jun 26 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A4) In all seriousness, the pace gets faster... more reps in a shorter period. The terminology is also a bit more extensive. #hogfbchat

fnfcoaches Jun 26 @ 9:54 PM EDT

This is the truth! The core is instrumental in almost every action! #Hogfbchat

Drillstack Jun 26 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Establish a strong core when younger will help so much #Hogfbchat

CoachShiffman - Moderator Jun 26 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Coaches, that's a wrap! Thank you all for being here and participating again on this wonderful Monday night #HogFBChat

CoachSimard Jun 26 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A2: IDEALLY avoid the Full Contact, Take-em-to-the-ground drills. We're fortunately in that most all our coaches 'get it' #Hogfbchat

A4: Mostly, you have to be yourself. Kids see through it you're not. If you're a strong personality, back off 4 a tad for youth #hogfbchat

CoachSimard Jun 26 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A3: No adaptations really, more on teaching the coaches to coach, vrs talk. Coaching the group - keeping it moving (fun) #Hogfbchat

While we are talking youth football let's just all agree that Friday Night Tykes is the antichrist. I gave you a poll to vote #hogfbchat
