IF YOU WANT TO DO THINGS RIGHT AS A FEEDER COACH, YOU WILL HAVE A TON OF QUESTIONS FOR THE BOSS...AT LEAST I DO.
I come into this season absorbing someone elses playbook and terminology to the best of my ability...but i have questions on footwork, spacing, timing, techniques and "rules" and "exceptions to the rules" (that i have found)...but heres the thing, if I email the boss with my many questions... I feel like IM pestering him.,,,hes a busy guy...how much is too much for you guys? do you want your feeder teams to "take the playbook and run it" or do you spend alot of time with them breaking down the footwork etc?...anyhow, just something im going thru at the moment.
I realize we wont be a carbon copy of the varsity team but it would be beneficial to the kids if i teach similar techniques and all that. Im sure ill pick up stuff over the year (varsity camp etc)...

a good hfc should have some major sit down time with the feeder programs
we have each varsity position coach teach their position, and the oc and dc teach entire base package that the feeders will run to ALL of the jr hi coaches before the season starts

I don't know. The Head guy is just a guy like you are. If you were the HC and one of your Assistants had questions..you'd be more than happy to answer every one of them right? I'm sure the head coach is busy, but as a coach I bet he loves answering football questions!

alot of times email is very inpersonal...if you have questions for the varsity staff, you should stop by one of the off season workouts and he can answer your questions in person. Face time is always valuable

We typically have one meeting a month starting in January and run through June. We break down everything, run game, pass game, specials, base d, fronts and stunts, coverages. We cover 1 part per meeting (we try to stay away from personnel, but we always seem to end up back there). I invite all my coaches, freshman and jr. high included to each meeting and encourage them to ask questions. I have more of a problem when they don't ask questions and assume they understand exactly what we are trying to accomplish, then have to be re-taught during the season. I would rather they burn my email and telephone up with questions than not ask as many as they feel like they need to to understand what we are trying to do. Besides, the more times I (and my position coaches) get to explain it the better we understand it and hopefully get better at communicating it so when we get to the kids in August it should be easier to get across to them. Just my two cents.

TRUST ME IF YOUR HFC IS ANY GOOD HE WON'T MIND YOU ASKING QUESTIONS. IF I WERE THE HFC AND YOU WEREN'T ASKING QUESTIONS, THEN I WOULD BE WORRIED. SOUNDS YOU ARE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. REMEMBER, LESS IS MORE.
DOING A COUPLE THINGS WELL IS BETTER THAN DOING ALOT OF THINGS O.K. !!!!!!!!!!
