Why this exists

You didn't volunteer to spend your nights building curriculum.

You volunteered to coach. But between the day job, the family, and the season, the hours you spend planning practices, writing station rotations, and figuring out how to teach contact safely are hours you never get back.

Gridiron Practice Pro is the shortcut that isn't a shortcut. Every resource here was built for real teams, refined across real seasons, and run with real kids — from six-station clinic rotations for 70 players down to single-coach practice plans. It's the system behind one of British Columbia's most successful youth programs, packaged so you can print it, run it, and get home for dinner.

The GPP Safe Contact Clinic

A complete three-day, six-hour curriculum that teaches young athletes to tackle, absorb, and finish contact safely — before they ever take a hit in a game.

No pads. Just mouthguards and cleats. That's deliberate — for decades, “toughening up” a team meant some version of the Oklahoma Drill: two players, no progression, just collision. This clinic is built the opposite way, technique first, and lines up with Football Canada's National Safe Contact Standard from the ground up.

Inside: day-by-day session plans · station-by-station facilitator scripts · coaching cues built around Football Canada's Safe Contact Standard · tools for onboarding coaches and clearing players into live contact safely

About the coach

Steven Sapinsky

Steven has been a volunteer youth coach for more than 20 years, beginning in hockey before committing fully to football with the Cloverdale Community Football Association in 2021. In five years he built one of the most successful youth programs in British Columbia — four provincial championships across flag and tackle — and Gridiron Practice Pro exists to hand other coaches the exact system behind it.

His 2025 spring flag team outscored opponents 688–69 on the way to the provincial title, and the program hasn't lost a spring flag game since. That fall, his Peewee 9-man tackle team swept the double — VMFL league champions and BC provincial champions in the same season. He designed and leads the CCFA's annual Safe Contact Clinic, and brings an MBA and 20+ years of organizational leadership to the structure and quality of every resource on this site.

54–0Combined record across the 2025 and 2026 spring flag seasons — both ending in BC provincial championships
