Most football programs (95%) DO NOT use headsets at practice during the week. Coaches have several reasons why they only use headsets during games:
- Setup & teardown times for some poor sap
- Bulky cases, heavy hip packs on gym shorts are a silly thing to think about
- Protecting a (usually) very expensive asset from overuse and the elements
Hear from two coaches who are using a simple communications app to optimize their practices and completely replace traditional headset systems.

Additionally, coaches are telling us they’re putting more people than ever in earbuds at practice. Here’s a few more stories:
- Earbud in the quarterback’s ear: Put an earbud in the QBs ear and talk directly to him at practice
- Speaker hookup: connect a Bluetooth speaker and talk to entire position groups from the box
- Add trainers: Add trainers to your team so you can call them immediately with an injury.
