3 DAY INSTALL by Coach Banks

Install your offense and 3 days and just repeat! That has been the wave of what football coaches have been saying for the past few years. This post agrees but disagrees with them! Our install schedule on offense has a 10 plan. Which is broken down into three groups, and each group has three parts. Basically we take each install section and have an A, B and C part. People have asked me why we do it that way. To me the answer is simple. As an educator, I look at teaching my players the same way I teach my students. I would never start off teaching multi-step equations on day one without first teaching them one and two step equations, so why would I do that on the football field?

 Our Spring Football and Preseason Install Schedule goes as follows for Ten Days:

Day One	Day Two	Day Three
1A	2A	3A

Day Four	Day Five	Day Six
1B	2B	3B

Day Seven	Day Eight	Day Nine
1C	2C	3C

Day TEN is SCRIMMAGE.

Pretty straightforward right? 

I know you want to know what goes in each group and how we determine what goes in A, B, C. 

Here is a sample for us.

RUNS

• INSIDE ZONE
• OUTSIDE ZONE

PASSES

• VERTS
• LEVELS
• HITCHES
• STICK
• TE DRIVE SERIES

SCREENS

• JAILBREAKS
• KEYS

So on Day A: We are installing Base Formations no motions, no tags, simple line up fast and play the basics (one step equations).

When we come back to 1B: We add something all of our motions, our combo plays for example zone/stick & stretch/pop pass, still no tags (two step equations) 

Then when we get to 1C: Everything (Verts with shallows, and Fade/Out , stick/nod, hitches w/ corner and fades, etc) (multi-step equations) 

This is our modified three day install with groups. 10 day install keeping it easy and simple for our players to learn, after the ten days we meet again as a staff to determine what to keep and what to throw away.
