  • Ep. 11 - Feeder Focus - Culture, Coaching & Buy-In at the Feeder Level

    In this jam-packed episode of The Field House Podcast, hosts Coach Tad and Coach Mash are joined by two incredible leaders in youth football: Coach Devonne Hinton (Parkview 8th Grade) and Coach John Lee (Kings Ridge 7th Grade). Episode 11 continues the Feeder Focus series, diving deep into the real challenges and real joys of building a successful feeder football program.

    This episode hits hard on: 

    •  Off-season prep – from 7-on-7s to lineman challenges to QB academies
    •  Earning player and parent buy-in the right way (hint: it starts with care and communication)
    • Culture setting with help from involved varsity head coaches like Adam Clack and Zach Slaney
    • Fundamentals over flash – because blocking and tackling win games, not highlight reels
    • Mentor systems to stay connected to players

  • Ep. 10 - Feeder Focus Series Kickoff

    In Episode 10 of The Field House Podcast, hosts Coach Tad and Coach Mash debut a brand new series: Feeder Focus—a deep dive into the world of youth football development.

    This first installment is all about scheme—how to build it, teach it, and most importantly, keep it simple. Tad and Mash break down what "scheme" really means at the feeder level and why flexibility, simplicity, and execution are far more important than complexity or copying a varsity playbook.

    Topics we cover:

    • Why "simplicity is everything" when designing your offense or defense
    • The importance of building a core set of base plays that players can master
    • Why coaches need to adjust based on personnel (and not their favorite college team's playbook)
    • How much a feeder system should mirror the high school varsity scheme

    If you're coaching youth football, trying to get your squad game-ready, or just love nerding out on Xs and Os, this episode is a must-listen.
