Scrimmage

OBJECTIVE

This period is to prepare for the upcoming game. Scrimmage time should be limited to 20 minutes as indicated on the practice plan. Half the scrimmage time should be devoted to each team's core offensive units (C, QB, RBs). Run a  limited number of basic plays until they can be run properly.  Do not introduce a new play until the previous play can be run properly. Try to give each member of the backfield an opportunity to handle the football during the scrimmage.

POINTS OF EMPHASIS

• Prepare players for Saturday's game both offensively and defensively and for each team.

• Identify a limited number of plays that will be run during the upcoming game.
