Sir, I am not an expert on this subject but I will give you some tips that I have seen implemented with tremendous success. First of all you have to create a dialogue with your leaders and returning players on your team. Depending on the rules or policies of your school you should run it similar to a business atmosphere. You are the CEO and will delegate responsibilities to your assistants and your team leaders(usually the handful of guys who seem to work harder than everyone else).

Create a comprehensive workout plan (theres tons of styles out there that incorporate plyometrics/weight training/ endurance/ flexibility training) with the assistance of your staff. Make sure you know your plan like the back of your hand and be able to demonstrate if need be. A lot of schools have what we call a bigger /faster /stronger program. It is usually similar in styles and regimen. It includes working out after school everyday and a 3 hour dynamic workout session on saturdays. The part that everyone fails at, is having the same workouts everyday. Kids like to be challenged and introduced to new things so keep it fresh. Since it is not college and they are not on scolarships or required to participate these kids will fade real fast. Keep it fresh. Keep your leaders close and help them to create a culture.

At the end of your season pass out your plan to your returning players.

Since Mixed Martial Arts is the craze, you might wanna look at some mma crosstraining workouts. I know from experience, they are pretty freakish.

Take a chapter out of the Marinovich brothers book. They have trained many champions from football to MMA. Try Crossfit. Try Insanity.
