It’s one of the most frustrating parts of being a football coach. The scout team.

You work to put all the opponent’s plays down on cards. You show them to a group of guys on your team... wait, these guys are all on your team?

...anyway, hold the card up. Everyone looks. They nod. They head to the line.

The ball is snapped. If the snap doesn’t get fumbled, it’s a small victory.

Then the disaster is on.

Wait, the Guard didn’t pull! We need that guy to pull!

Where’s the Tight End? There’s supposed to be a Tight End on that play! He was WHERE!?

In this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, I’m sharing ideas on how to make your scout team better.

Just as an FYI, it’s not using color coded cards. I never saw more confused kids than when I did the color coded cards.

None of these are earth shattering. It’s all about building your practice from small to big, just like we teach in JDFB Insiders.

Check out this week’s episode, and start making some changes in your practice planning that will save your sanity!
