Jr high games

[Vott]

I dont know how many of you attend any jr hi games, but if you do whats your opinion of coaches being on the field with the players? Some do it, but ive seen other coaches stay on the sidelines and coach like it was a high school game..

[pancho]

depends if the coach actually teaches and is constructive

[Wareaglefan1us]

In Wayne County we have five middle schools and our coaches coach from the sidelines. Our youth programs do allow coaches on the field but not Jr High level

true

Every junior high I have ever been to has had the coaches on the field. Also the games are 8 minute quarters, it’s almost always a running clock, and the games are over in an hour or less

yea

[lionpack]

Doesn’t bother me coaches being on the field for a middle school game. Actually doesn’t bother me for JV either. 

[lionpack]

It’s been 20+ years since I’ve played any school affiliated ball but even back then we never did special teams and the coaches would be on the field for 7,8,9, jv

I think it is total BS.  When I played pee wee many, many years ago, we kicked, punted, no coaches on the field, regular football.  Now, many JH games have no kicking, coaches on the field, etc.  Laziness on the part of coaches.

It sounds like you need to put in for some of the coaching openings.

LOL, and what makes you certain as to what my current career is or is not?

It is possible you are a coach, but most coaches I know do not brag on their team as much as you do.  I mean you really believe Lamar School is going to win the National Championship.

Don't get me started on the joke that is youth football in many counties.   It would be a full dissertation.

Also do you even know how most JH system work or how a lot of smaller schools have coaches running double duty. There are some lazy coaches out there but if you are coaching 7th, 8th, JV, as well as varsity I promise you lazy isn't the word you are looking for. Those guys are never at home during the season, plus they probably coach a spring sport as well.

And it has filtered up to the JH levels, many JHs don't kick or punt, coaches on the field, absolutely a joke

Most coaches who get on the field are there to teach the kid what they are doing wrong.  They are learning the high school system.  A lot of places will also film the games and watch it with the kids.

He knows everything he has no clue what coaches do everyday.  He just shows up and pays his 10 dollars to watch the game.

Yep.  What kind of statement is hey they don't punt so they must be lazy?

He probably is the type that shows up at game and measures if the grass is short enough.  He will also be the type that complains if the lines are straight or not.

Lazy coaches don't want to fool with special teams, period

Man you have lost your mind.  Please volunteer one day at a small school and see what coaches have to do.

Good coaches take pride in their field

That is the only correct assessment that you have made.  But I have seen some pretty fields with awful coaches

They are taking shortcuts rather than doing their job

 

You literally have no clue how smaller programs work. Apply for a job at one of those programs and then you tell me about those shortcuts.

IF you coach, do your job, special teams are part of football

Lol yes sir

I don't want to coach football at a small school, however, at my job, if I take shortcuts, I will likely be called out on it.  Special teams are part of football and many coaches take the easy way out by not doing it.  Just like coaches on the field, we didn't have coaches on the field my first year of pee wee in the third grade

There is not a school that would hire you anyway.

that is BS, they get on the field because they are too lazy to teach kids how to get the plays in

What difference does it make?

Your job is to get them ready for high school ball.  When the LT blocks the wrong guy for the 3rd time in a row you fix it.  They are kids they will make mistakes.  It has nothing to do with getting the play in and everything to do with coaching the kids.  You aren't scouting the other team so when you get a bear, odd, even, over, under, 4s, 2s, 5s, 3s or 1s you have to talk to those kids about those situations during the game.  A lot of high schools are getting film on the sideline so they can fix those issues.  You don't get that film on the sidelines of Junior high games. You have to talk to your QB about reads.  It is called Coaching.  Anyone can run a play in.

You don't know my qualification, you don't know what I would or would not bring to the table, you didn't like my opinion, so you made it personal.  I don't know you, but that is what simple minded people tend to do, no saying you are simple minded, however,

Well I do know your not an English teacher.
