Getting the most out of a short practice

Head Coach Kelly Sheffield describes short practices as “a race for reps.”

To encourage as many good, solid contacts as possible in the allotted time, Sheffield assigns each player with a specific skill to practice. Then he rapidly runs them through drills—individually and in pairs—that reinforce these skills.

Another situation you might run into is a practice with less than 12 players. Check out this article for ideas about drills you can do with smaller groups.
