Goose Liver Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 3 hours ago, XStar said: Having never coached football in my life, can someone tell me exactly how beneficial this would be? You would see the team running plays just like you would by watching their game tape. A drone flying at that distance wouldn't pick up the conversation or terminology being used to call plays I wouldn't think. Maybe you see them practice a play you they otherwise might not have been expecting and preparing for it if they can gain insight on when it might be used. Also, if the team knows they are being watched, they could do things to send the other team on a wild goose chase by showing them things they never intend to use/do or even set them up for whatever it is they really do want to run. It seems like awfully extreme measures to go to for minimal benefit I would think. The time and effort it would take to do this would seem better spent on preparing your own team. It is a two edged sword... its another paranoid factor too for a drone being flown over a practice field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like everyone to weigh in on this topic. It is easy to swoop down from the hills over a practice field. With the amount of video that is available, why would anyone need to spy on anyone else. Granted, you don't get practice video on someone, but, with Hudl, etc. Why would you need such nonsense and tomfoolery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formations are the only thing I can think of where it might help, although I agree the cost/benefit probably wouldn’t be worth it, IMO. Especially if there is a new coach/scheme in town. Evansville Central is an example. Last year they went strictly Wing T. Completely different than their offense the year before. Of course @Titan32 had his drone footage so Gibson Southern knew what was coming in the scrimmage. Lol This year new coach, Andy Zirkelbach says he will air it out more. But is that no-backs? Spread? 11 personnel? The oopty-oop from Varsity Blues? I don’t know if WV has a scrimmage prior to games like Indiana or maybe their wk 1 opponent refuses to trade scrimmage film. Not sure if a drone could pick up that, but that is the only thing I would think could be valuable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he won't throw a baby fit like the last guy when our #1s come out after 9 plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impartial_Observer Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I believe there are FFA regulations regarding the use of drones over populated areas. Regarding taking pot shots at a drone, you own as high up over your property as you can reasonably use. You are also responsible for any projectile you might use to knock down said drone, and what that projectile might do when it inevitably comes back to Earth. Then of course we have laws regarding possession of firearms on school property. And at least in the great state of Indiana, if there’s HS practice there, it’s school property. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An opposing player, across from me, looked at me and said, "we're running the ball right over you and we will score." They did and they did.☹️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
