Better Scout Team Cards In Less Time
Scout team cards or practice cards are normally looked at as a necessary evil. There are several different camps on how to approach group and team practice periods.
There is the camp where the young coaches are responsible for this because, after all, they will be running the scout team in practice. This usually involves a lot of checking with the veterans on the staff as to avoid embarrassment and butt chewings during the actual practice.
The Coach Who Is Sure He Draws The Best Scout Team Cards…
Then there is the camp where there is a position coach who is totally convinced that Nick Saban could not draw a scout team card as well as he could. For this reason, he spends a large chunk of his day secluded in his office creating what he believes are masterpiece scout team cards. This can even be at the expense of spending extra time actually teaching his players the game plan that week.
Practice Cards? Who Needs Them?
The third group is the worst though. This group of coaches will scoff at the notion that scout team cards are needed at all. They just line the scout team up prior to each play and waste valuable practice time as they do it. The fact that they only get five plays run in a ten minute period doesn’t seem to phase them. There is also the obvious fact that if scout team cards were not unnecessary, NFL and college teams wouldn’t use them. Yes, practice cards are indeed a necessary evil, like it or not.
The key for any head football coach or coordinator is how do you best manage your practice preparation? How do you ensure that you are going to get a good look from your scout teams and not sacrifice something or somewhere else? As with many things in coaching, there needs to be a plan and a system.
