tigerheart Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 At small schools I don't really think this going to have much of an effect, if any. Most only go full pads twice a week, and if you pay attention to the wording it says full speed to the ground contact. I guarantee that doesn't happen 90 minutes a week at this level as is.
fireinthehole Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 Who tackles to the ground during practice anyways? haha. I dont think this will effect anything.

skipmeister Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 Practices are made to be long, hard, and intense! This is why West Orange-Stark has the all-time winning percentage in school history! During the athletic period during football season, they practice in full pads just like after school (from 3:30-6:30, even if the sky is dark)! During the off-season, they hit the weights and use the "speed shoes" on track Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (during athletic period). On Tuesdays and Thursdays, they run with sleds on practice field! That's an example of how West Orange-Stark produces a winning football program and produces numerous college and even pro athletes! Go to their practices and off-season workouts and find out for yourself! You can also ask Coach T for more information!
bhdog28 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 They have a great population too! People don't leave WO-S just like people in North Shore don't leave. They breed athletes over and over.
