Next Practice
Route tree day.
A 60-minute practice for ages 9–11. Warm up, sharpen the routes, install one play, then scrimmage.
Why this order
Warm, sharp, then live.
Bodies first, then the skill, then the play, then a scrimmage where they get to use it. Every block builds on the last.
- Warm-up and flag pulls first
- Routes before the play that uses them
- End with a scrimmage, always
Coaching points
One thing to watch per block.
Pick one thing to coach in each block, and let the rest go. Kids improve on one cue at a time.
- Warm-up: high knees, talk to each other
- Route tree: sharp cuts, eyes back to the QB
- Install: everyone knows their number
- Gauntlet: eyes on the hips
- Route tree: sharp cuts, eyes back to the QB
- Install: everyone says their job out loud
- Scrimmage: call it by number
Build it
Five blocks, five minutes.
Add the five blocks to a new practice in PlayOnNow, set the minutes, and attach the play. Then run it from the sideline, one block at a time.
- Block minutes add up to your sixty
- Attach Direct Snap H to the install block
- Run it from the run sheet
In PlayOnNow
Plan it once. Run it Tuesday.
Save it as a template and next week starts from this one.
