Special Teams Practice Script Solution
Anyone who has coached a single down of special teams understands that one of the challenges is that you have players scattered all over the football field. You also know that having a detailed special teams practice script is essential. Without it, you will spend your time yelling to the other side of the field trying to stay organized. That is not going to help you come game day.
A Special Teams Practice Script Will Save You A Lot Of Headaches
The obvious solution is to have a well planned period. One that includes scout team cards and also a special teams practice script for the phase you are working on. This is easier said than done. You have to remember that you will not only be coaching your phase. You will also want to make sure someone is coaching your scout team well. Whoever is coaching your scout team is on the other half of the field.
