Here are some ideas.
1. Breakout sessions by position are a must. It is nice if the leaders of the breakout sessions have notes on their main topics for the participants to take home and time for a roundtable discussion.
2. A good coaches panel of 4-5 coaches can be very interesting. Each coach answers a few preset questions and then open it up for questioning.
3. If you have some good video to watch, they can be very beneficial. You need to have a good projection machine in order to see well. A DVD player where you can easily go slow motion backwards and forwards, along with a laser pointer can really add to the video session. (Contact me if you are interested in a good NFL DVD on many topics, which also has voice over from the supervisors.)
4. I don’t know where you live, but if you still have nice weather, some “on the field mechanics” by a good crew can be nice. It is really nice if you have one of them on a field mic to explain things.
5. If you cannot afford to get a t-shirt or collared shirt for everyone you could probably get some things donated for door prizes.
