  • Summer Install Process with Coach Aaron Avery
    2024/07/03

    Summary In this conversation, Coach Aaron Avery discusses his approach to summer and fall camp install for his football team. He explains that they install at a slower pace during spring football to ensure that all players have a good understanding of the basics. In the summer, they speed up the install process and focus on hitting all the core elements of their offense. They also dedicate a week to special situations and variations. After a week off, they reverse the install process and repeat it leading up to fall camp. This allows their players to learn and reinforce the core offense multiple times before the season starts. They also communicate with the defense to ensure that both sides are on the same page. The conversation also touches on the importance of differentiation and scaffolding in teaching and the transition to game planning for the first opponent during fall camp. The conversation covers various topics related to football coaching, including installing plays, maximizing practice time, and teaching players to think critically. The coaches discuss the benefits of flipping positions and installing plays multiple times during the summer to ensure all players have a chance to learn and practice. They also talk about the importance of teaching players the rules and concepts behind each play, rather than just giving them specific assignments.
