Coach Rich Hargett and Coach Bartee also have open discussions about how the offense is attacking and how the defense utilizes counter measures.

We feel there is a better way to practice the game of football.

The standard way most coaches organize and conduct a practice has just been copied and pasted since the Vince Lombardi days. Quite simply, we as coaches have just duplicated the practice process from our own days as a player. Schemes have changed, players have changed, and society has changed. But, practices for the most part have not.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

This book will attempt to convey why S2A Game Practice System (GPS) is an “edge of the knife” way to conduct a football practice. The Surface to Air System (S2A), is an offensive consulting service. This book will detail our thoughts from our offensive perspective, but the principles can be applied to all three phases of the game (Offense, Defense, Special Teams). In introducing this “outside the box” way of looking at something new in the game of football, we challenge you as a coach to take this information and determine if there’s truly a better way of doing things.

Ask yourself, “Is the way we’ve been conducting practices since I was a player really the most effective way?” Offenses have evolved, the passing game has evolved, and off-season methods of training have evolved. Why hasn’t practice evolved?

The objective of this book is to make football a better game through the utilization of S2A GPS. It is our specific objective to check the following boxes when developing this practice method:

-Get more kids out for football

-Create scenarios in which players have a richer knowledge of the game

-Create practice situations recreating game situations that lead to more success

-Create a safer game-Score more points

-Win more games

Again, we check those boxes with our main tenant: “If any activity is done in practice that does not directly have an impact on the actual game, we do not do it.”

It is our sincere hope that football coaches will take from this work the following:

-To implement a system that allows for a safer game by reducing the amount of time preparing, that reduces the repetitions for contact, and thus lessens the eventuality of injuries.

-To implement a system that eliminates the need for the overuse of contact, but heightens the ability for game preparedness.

-To implement a system that captures and keeps the learning attention span of even the lowest level learner

-To implement a system that elevates the abilities of second and third teamers, and thus increases their value to the overall makeup and depth of the squad

-To implement a system that elevates the practice role of each member of the coaching staff

-To implement a system that leads to both recruiting more and keeping more young people playing the game

-To implement a system that leads to more wins

This course is a continuation of Coach Bartee's first offering that detailed position maintance and dividers in 1 High Middle of Field (M.O.F.) Closed Coverage.

This course goes deeper into the scheme by detailing Match Principles that allows a defense to play cover 3 and 6 and 1 High Match vs. 2x2 Offensive sets.

Rich Hargitt, creator of the Surface to Air System, takes you through his installation process, as well as some of his favorite plays, and gives you a fundamental understanding of what the RPO is, why he likes it so much, and how you can implement it into your program.

This course covers topics such as:

The two main categories of RPOs and how they're taught

Coach Hargitt takes you through the QB's reads on the board and on film, and gives you a simple teaching method that will give you answers during a game, as well as when you're trying to install this with your team.

Gives you a solution for complex defenses 

Defenses today are better than ever, and you need answers. With the RPO, you'll always give your QB a place to go with the football. If you've got a young or inexperienced player at QB, it can help you manufacture big plays and consistent yardage while keeping the reads and progressions very simple.

Easy to run but hard to defend.

The RPO is based on time-tested offensive principles, only applied to new plays and formations. The offense is trying to make the defense wrong no matter what they do, and so the defense has to spend a lot of time preparing for every scenario. Keep your opponents up at night trying to think of ways to stop you.

Prepare your players for the next level.

Colleges across the country have added the RPO to their playbook. Give your kids a leg up on the rest of the competition by running a college-ready offense at the high school level.
