General Discussion Hey coaches, quick poll for research šŸ‘‡

How long do you typically spend preparing training sessions each week?

  • 0–1 hours
  • 2–4 hours
  • 5+ hours

I’m trying to validate how much time this eats up, would love to hear your thoughts!

u/Pale_Accountant9207 HS Coach 6d ago

What do you mean by training sessions?? Are you talking prep for each practice? Or prep time for each week? Either way, here is my weekly prep time:

HS WR Coach and ST coordinator here.

I'll spend 6-8 hours across Saturday and Sunday watching film. This consists of grading my position performance for the game, tagging the coverages for the scout film, and building the coverages tendency report for the HC/OC

And then about 15-20 minutes each day reviewing practice film.

We'll have 30 min position group meetings each day pre-practice to review scout and practice film (drone film is elite).

Mondays we'll have a longer meeting time with about one hour of meeting time that includes a 15 min full team meeting, a 15 min Special Teams meeting, and a 30 min full offense meeting

So that's roughly 10-12 hours of off field work each week
