Our head coach speaks first most days, and then will say something to the effect of "Anyone else have anything to say or add?" Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't. The best thing we do is before coaches talk, we have putups at the end of each practice, and the end of each game. When we first huddle up, players take turns praising a teammate for something specific they did. For example, Johnny ran a great post route and caught the ball over the FS for a TD in the third quarter. You can't just say, he played hard. Kids really love it, and when we sometimes forget as coaches the kids will remind us to do putups. Just try to make sure it's not the same kids putting up, or getting put up. Coaches can add putups too.

I should add, the putups are a great way to call attention to players that we may not coach in practice too, which in turn makes me take notice of certain kids that I otherwise would not have.

I'm the HC.
With that said, I don't care who talks so long as they actually have something to say.
I don't want anybody talking just to talk or b/c your "supposed to". I think the less you talk the more meaningful your words are when you speak.
JMO.

I'm not the Head Coach and I've had it both ways. I've worked for head coaches who wanted everyone to talk and some who wanted no one to talk. I always feel like I have great things to say to my position group, but sometimes I'm at a loss for words with the whole group. Sometimes I hear other coaches at the end of practice and they really say something great, but I've learned to be myself and don't force it.

I ask my coaches if they have anything to say. 98% the pass....there is one coach that is more likely to speak but even he usually passes. Then I close with 15-30 secs of reminders and points and we gth home...
