In the past we always did this with the last practice being the spring game. We made it a big deal as the 2 Most Improved kids during practices got to pick the teams for the game (with a little guidance from the coaching staff.)

First 5 practices or so was just drills, basic stuff you would do at beginning of fall season.

Second 4 practices were more like game week practices, installing new things for offense and basic plays you run, defense and special teams.

One year for the spring game, because we had to change the schedule, the school used the spring game as a reward day for kids, so they got to play during school, (kinda like a field day thing) It actually helped boost are #'s for the next year.

Make it learning, but fun, and relaxed.
