Preparation (Strategy) The scouting report. Have a scout you can trust. If you cant video, then send two scouts. Offense and offensive special teams. Defense and defensive special teams. Scouting forms. Your best guess. Unless the team youre scouting is playing another DWing team, odds are theyll be different for you.

Preparation (Strategy) Figure out who the studs and duds are. When one scout isnt actively recording, he should watch substitutions. Get a program! (Cant tell the players without it!)
